A TRUE BARN FIND!!! Up for bid is a 1963 Mercury Comet Custom Convertible All original Factory V8 260 CU. 4 Speed, AC !!! The original owner got this car when she was in High School as a gift from her Dad and kept it until I purchased it from her about 2 months ago. Well I have decided to sell it; as much as I would like to keep it and just drive it like it is. The only rust on the car is on the drive side rocker panel. Which is a quick fix and I have another rocker for it, But really doesn't need it. Because I do body work and could fix it in a few hours, but I don't have the time. I pulled all the spark plugs out and shot some WD40 and Tranny fluid in each cylinder put the plugs back in and let it sit for about two weeks, I then took the plugs out again and turned the motor over by hand and it was free!!! I put the plugs back in it and put a battery in it and it turned right over. The Original owner parked the car because she bought a new one and would only drive the car about once a month and it ran when it was last parked for good in the early 90's. I have the original PINK slip and original owners manual, original keys along with the original registration slips that she gave me and she was going to give me all the service records for the car as soon as she could find them because it was always serviced by the dealership. It does need to have the brakes rebuilt because they no longer work. But has all of the original hub caps rims and some extra parts because her Dad had also bought a 63 Mercury Comet hardtop at the same time he bought this convertible and the hardtop was wrecked and he stripped some parts off of it and saved them, so there are extra moldings and extra radiator. that will go with the car. This was the first year that Mecury Comet came with a V8 and 4 speed with AC and convertible!!! Very low number of these cars were produced with these options.... Thank you for looking and God bless!!!

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7

Sun, 31 Jul 2011

You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
