1964 Mercury Comet Cyclone on 2040-cars
Vienna, Virginia, United States
|
1964 Comet Cyclone: Only 7,454 of these were made. How many would you guess are left? Only one year of this body style was ever built. This car's Data Plate: 63E (2dr.Cyclone) J(Carnival Red) 05 (White interior) A28 (Jan.28 build) 22 (Dallas Texas) 1 (310 to 1) 6 (3 Speed Automatic) This car runs and drives like new. The engine and three speed automatic transmission were rebuilt. The exhaust is new with stainless mufflers and tips, and has a fabulous sound. The list or things done to it is endless but include: Petronics, tires, brakes and lines, radiator and shroud, heater core, halogen headlights, belts, hoses, generator, regulator, brake solenoid, seat belts, battery, and more. The undercarriage was so excellent that it has been cleaned and painted. (Pre-paint undercarriage pictures are available) You'll be impressed with the detailing and overall integrity of the lines and body. The older paint is buffed to a beautiful luster- not perfect but is excellent and gets a ton of compliments. The chrome is in excellent condition and the front bumper may have been re-chromed. Back bumper is very nice original. The headliner is original. As you can see, the door and trunk gaskets have been replaced. The interior is excellent having been reupholstered at some point and shows very little wear. The title and odometer show that the car has 54k miles and it looks and feels believable, although I would not represent a car this old as original miles. This is a rust free, drive anywhere no-nonsense car that is as unique as it is beautiful. The Carnival Red color is really rich, and has various looks depending on the light as you can see from the pictures. If you are looking for a car that will stand out in any meet or show, this is one to be proud of. You will, more than likely not see others in this kind of condition. I believe that if you search the country, you won't find another one like it as of this writing for sale. The car is being sold where is, as-is with no warrantee expressed or implied. I recommend you come see it prior to bidding. The car is not advertised anywhere else, but I reserve the right to end the auction at any time prior to it hitting my reserve. Everything but the tachometer and cigarette lighter works including the AM radio.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
Has the Mercury Marauder gotten better with age?
Fri, Oct 23 2015In the early 2000s Mercury desperately wanted to develop some edge for its brand – seemingly stuck between a quasi-premium, quasi-performance space in the Ford Universe. The Marauder is perhaps the most famous of the vehicles that resulted from those efforts, and is rapidly approaching Modern Classic status, today. Effectively a murdered out Grand Marquis with some updated trim pieces – what are company parts bins for, if not raiding? – the Marauder looked convincingly like a bad guy car. The 4.6-liter V8 under its hood that had been breathed on by engineers for a little more power, kicking out 302 horsepower and 318 pound-feet of torque from the factory. Not exactly Ferrari-baiting numbers, but it'd give your local cop's car a run for its money. Being a wild child of the last decade, of course our friends at MotorWeek had it on the program. What better way to test your mean-mugging muscle sedan than with John Davis' tanned and steady hands?
