1965 Mercury Comet Cyclone, This car was built in Lorain, Ohio on December 12th 1964... shes almost 50. Sold new at Macon county Ford/Mercury it lived most of its life in Macon, Georgia. Its been in NC for a few years now. This is my 5th comet, 2nd Cyclone- I hate to sell it but have too many projects going on at once to finish it. I have a clear title in my name. Ill describe the car as best I can- Original red with white vinyl top, I thought about painting top white to look factory but I have the trim pieces to make it a regular hardtop if you wanted to. Car was painted about 7 years ago and shines nicely, has a few minor spots on rh front fender that may buff out. Top is losing its shine a little bit. Frame rails are solid. Needs heater core, bypassed for now. This is one of the Cyclones that came with the uber-rare factory fiberglass hood. Original owner removed it for safekeeping replacing it with standard hood but it was painted to match when car was done. It is in excellent condition, you know what these hoods go for since only an estimated 200-300 were made- see pics. Doors, hood, deck lid and front fenders were removed when painted so both sides could be done and are in great shape. Painted in PPG Nason Holly Red, real sharp. interior was originally red carpet with white buckets. Now has black caliente bench seats. Car has 69 mustang 4 barrel 302 with 88 mustang GT H.O. heads for running unleaded. Early 70s vintage weiand intake and edelbrock carb. Mild cam. Original 4 speed. Runs strong, turns great, brakes well, shifts well, sounds great nice throaty exhaust note. Lights, signals, wipers and gauges work but amp gauge doesn't always indicate proper volts though car charges perfectly. 69 mach one chrome wheels with fairly new rubber. New parts include- dash pad, battery, leaf springs (St Louis spring company) shackles, bushings and all hardware with new KYB gas-adjust shocks. Headliner is new but needs tightened up some. Windsheild and seal, rear window seal, trunk seal and door seals. Door panels were recovered with new armrests a couple years ago. Freshly chromed front bumper- still in box. Needs rear bumper chromed and has a slight bend in it that could be straightened by any decent bumper shop. I have rear window trim but haven't installed it yet. Also have 2 lower windshield trim pieces both in good shape. Many extra parts including headlight buckets with entire headlight assembly and housing, gauge cluster taillights, turn signals, rear trim panels, front wheelwell trim, drip rails, cyclone bucket seats and rear seat- need recovered, console- needs restored but all there and not broken- more trim parts etc. I do not have rocker molding or rear wheelwell trim- these parts are unique to the Cyclone and are very difficult to find. I opted to leave it plain but you can fnd them on ebay sometimes. If you want a true red 65 cyclone 4 speed, here ya go, drive it while you finish it or just cruise as is, guaranteed to draw attention everywhere you go. No warranty expressed or implied- NO RESERVE. Thanks for looking! |

Ford recalling 450,000 Fusion, Mercury Milan sedans
Tue, Nov 24 2015Ford has announced a pair of recalls, and both are critical safety issues. The exponentially larger of the two recall campaigns affects over 450,000 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans manufactured at the Hermosillo plant between July 21, 2008, and March 4, 2011. The canister purge valve in the fuel tank could malfunction and could cause the top of the tank to crack and leak fuel. That could cause a fire, although Ford "is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires" resulting from the issue. Affected vehicles will have their ECU software updated and their fuel tanks inspected for potential replacement. The company estimates there are 411,205 affected units in the United States (and its federalized territories), plus another 33,605 in Canada, and 7,055 in Mexico. The second recall affects 13 F-650 trucks. The column shifter's park position mechanism may fracture and let the truck roll away unexpectedly. Those 2016 models built in Ohio between July 29 and September 3, 2015 are all located in the US. Fixing the problem will require replacing the steering column and reconfiguring the instrument panel. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS IN NORTH AMERICA DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 23, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is issuing two safety recalls in North America. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles in North America for potential fuel tank issue Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 450,000 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles for a potential issue with the fuel tank. Some of these vehicles might have a canister purge valve that does not work properly, causing internal pressure changes inside the fuel tank. Repeated pressure changes inside the tank could result in a crack on the top of the tank, possibly allowing fuel to leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can lead to a fire. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant from July 21, 2008 through March 4, 2011. There are a total of approximately 451,865 vehicles that might be affected in North America, including 411,205 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories, 33,605 in Canada and 7,055 in Mexico.
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.
New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek
Fri, Jan 29 2016Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 – also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past – to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.
