Muscle Car Garage: We are a private collection of 60's and 70's muscle cars. We also do restorations in our two locations in the Jacksonville and Orlando area. From time to time we decide to offer one of our collector cars up for sale. Our vehicles are usually full "nut and bolt" restorations and are the quality of a regional or local show car winner. Many of our cars are previous trophy winners. We are not dealers just car enthusiasts who have been collecting cars for years and performing restorations to the level of regional show car quality. We are not a concourse restorer, and many of our cars are trailered to events but most vehicles can be driven if you choose to do so. All Around Details: Up for auction is our 1964 Mercury Comet Super Stocker Factory Issue Drag Car Tribute. This is a nice driver quality restoration on a rare 202 Comet made to look like a factory issue Drag Car from the sixties. Has vintage drag tint and quarter race stickers along with teardrop hood scoop and color match steelies and bullet lug nuts. Comet is fitted with a rebuilt late 60's Ford 302 and a Tremec 5 Speed Trans matted to a Ford 8" rear end with 3:08 gears. Car is super reliable and can be driven anywhere with no worries. Car is not super fast but will get up and go.. Motor was rebuilt about 9,000 miles ago to factory specs and also a new clutch went in at that time. Ignition was upgarded to Pertronix and also brakes were upgraded to a dual master cylinder and appropriate proportioning valve.

Interior has new headliner and carpet but upholstery and door panels are original and in decent shape. Car has aftermarket temp and oil pressure gauges. All blinkers, lights, wipers, etc work as they should. Windows roll up and down with ease. Car starts up easy everytime, does not run hot, and never has let us down. This is a super cool and rare muscle car that when you pull up to your local cruise in or car show, you will be the only one like it!!!!! All Around Rating: 8 out of 10
Exterior Details: Comet was repainted original Wimbledon White about 6 months ago. Color match steelies with new Kumho tires and bullet lug nuts give it that vintage drag car look. Hood is metal with fiberglass tear drop hood scoop that was applied in a high quality way with an epoxy agent for lasting results. Hood has working existing latch and hood pins. Comet has the super cool blue vintage drag tint and old school racing stickers in each quater window. All chrome and stainless are original and have the correct patina. The glass on the car is all good with no cracks, chips, or hazing. All in all the Comet has that super cool simplistic factory issue look that drag cars had back in the sixties, Exterior Rating: 8 out of 10 Interior Details: The interior of the car is mostly original but in very nice shape. The headliner and carpet were replaced but the upholstery and door panels appear original but are still pretty nice. We did replace some door handles and cranks as well as the dash bezel. All of the interior of the car was gutted and repainted blue so it looks nice inside. After market Oil and Temp gauges were installed under dash. Comet has an old school dash mounted true vintage Sun Super Tach giving it that sixties drag car look. The hurst Super Comp shifter is precise and looks cool with this bench seat beauty. All interior and dash lighting works as it should inclduing indicators and even the original AM radio light!!!! The cabin fan and defrost are also operational. Interior Rating: 8 out of 10 Mechanical Details: The Comet has a Ford 302 that was rebuilt approximately 9,000 miles ago. It was rebuilt to stock specs so we estimate the horsepower at 260. It has a factory Ford 4 barrel manifold and a Holley 600 cfm carb. The ignition has been upgraded to an electronic Pertronix as well as a Fireball Ignitor. Accell wires and Super Coil round out the under hood upgrades. The valve covers are original factory Ford HiPo chrome stamped valve covers with a K&N breather. Radiator has been flushed and brakes have been upgraded to a dual master cylinder reservoir and appropriate proportioning valve. Trans is the super Tremec T5 with cable actuated clutch. Clutch, pressure plate, and throw our bearing were replaced approximately 9,000 miles ago. Comet has dual exhaust into glass packs for that vintage sound and adjustable air shocks in the rear for the look you want. Rear end is a Ford 8" with 3:08 gears. So car runs down the highway nicely in 5th gear. The entire front suspension is from a 1969 Mustang and has the larger sway bar. The steering box was sent off to get rebuilt as well 9,000 miles ago. This Comet runs and drives very well. It is super reliable and actually gets decent fuel mileage with the 5 speed. There are no surprises mechanically as I rate this as one of our most reliable cars in the collection. Mechanical Rating: 9 out of 10
In summary, this 1964 Mercury Comet Super Stocker has a very cool vintage look. It runs and drives exceptionally well and is extremely reliable. This is a fun driver quality collectable muscle car that you can have fun with as is or take it to another level by adding a straight axle and a more potent engine for that true gasser look. The car has less than 80,000 original miles on it from what we know and is mostly untouched except for the drivetrain and suspension swap outs that have been done. Interior is mostly original and exterior is as it would have been in the '60's pulling up to the drag strip. Good luck bidding. You juist don't find these and this one is very solid underneath. Call me with questions that I have not answered here at (321) 277-6718. Thanks Terms Of Sale

Ringbrothers shows off Coyote-powered 1968 Mercury Cougar
Thu, Feb 25 2021We'll openly admit that not every SEMA build is our cup of tea. But this? A tastefully resto-modded 1968 Mercury Cougar with a 460-horsepower Ford Mustang V8? Yeah, this is right in our wheelhouse. Sadly, there was no in-pwerson SEMA show in 2020, so we missed out on gems like this one. SEMA or no SEMA, the aftermarket carries on, and co-owners Jim and Mike Ring of Ringbrothers (get it?) saw no reason to let their time and effort go to waste. When they're not building wild customs (see: 1,100-horsepower 1972 AMC Javelin AMX) or more subtle showcases (such as this Cougar or their 1971 K5 Chevy Blazer build from 2018), the folks at Ringbrothers crank out factory reproduction parts, whether for old-fashioned restoration or modification purposes. While '60s muscle cars are recurring build subjects for the two, the Cougar was the first of its kind they tackled. Keeping it in the family, Ringbrothers sourced a Ford 5.0-liter "Coyote" V8 and a 10-Speed Automatic (lifted from an F-150 Raptor, incidentally) for the build. They didn't stop with the driveline, of course. The suspension was overhauled with a little help from DSE and a set of HRE Series C1 C103 Forged 3-Piece wheels were thrown over upgraded brakes. "We put our heart into each car we build, and this Cougar is no exception," Jim said. "The finished product is mild and classy, yet any enthusiast instantly knows it's not stock. I imagine this is what Mercury designers would have come up with if they were building the Cougar today." "While we couldn't bring the car to the SEMA Show, we hope it can be shown to the public soon," Mike said. "We had never done a Cougar before, so this was a fun build. I love working with new shapes and coming up with new ideas." There's plenty to appreciate about this Cougar apart from the mechanicals, too. The finish is Augusta Green Metallic (courtesy of BASF), which was a factory color in 1968. You may know it by another name: Highland Green. There are a few custom exterior touches, but they're quite subtle and styled to be period-correct. The interior was also restored and updated, and it's where you'll find the only thing we're not fond of: that big, fat truck shifter. Gearbox choices notwithstanding, it's a bit of an eyesore. But considering how gorgeous the rest is, we'll give it a pass. Related Video:
eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
