1964 Comet Cyclone: Only
7,454 of these were made. 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) Car runs & drives like
new. Engine & 3 speed auto transmission were rebuilt. Exhaust is new
with stainless mufflers and tips, fabulous sound. List of things done is
endless but include: Petronics, tires, brakes & lines, radiator & shroud,
heater core, halogen headlights, belts, hoses, generator, regulator,
brake solenoid, seat belts, battery, +more. Undercarriage was so
excellent that it has been cleaned and painted. You'll be impressed
with detailing and overall integrity of the lines and body. Older paint buffed
to a beautiful luster- not perfect but is excellent and gets a ton of
compliments. Chrome in excellent condition and the front bumper may
have been re-chromed. Back bumper is very nice original. Original headliner.
Door & trunk gaskets have been replaced. Interior is excellent having been
reupholstered at some point and shows very little wear. 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. A rust free,
drive anywhere no-nonsense car that is as unique and beautiful. 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. 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 for sale locally and 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.
Looks to be a non matching 289 2 BBl. It makes sense that it's
a 289 because it is very quick off the line, and on the highway.
People who have looked at the pictures say they "know" it is a 289ci,
but doubt it's the original motor as the color is wrong. I don't know
either way, and said that in the ad that it is probably a (NOM) non-matching
number. I've been told that you need to take the starter out to check the
numbers, and I'm not going to do that at this point. So assume it's not
the original motor in bidding. Original manifolds. It does not have headers. It's a great car, but if you are looking for a pure matching number Cyclone, this is more than likely not for you. Also included is a set of poverty caps.

Junkyard Gem: 1989 Mercury Tracer Four-Door Hatchback
Sat, Mar 6 2021During the life of the Mercury brand, which began in 1939 and ended in 2011, nearly every Mercury sold in North America was a cosmetically enhanced version of some Ford model also sold here. The exceptions to this rule came when Mercury sold Fords originally designed for non-North American markets, and for which no Ford-branded version existed on our shores. The 1991-1994 Capri was such a car, as was the 1999-2002 Cougar (the Mondeo-based Cougar was unique among all Mercuries in that no other cars in the sprawling Ford Empire shared its body). The 1970-1978 Capri was sold through Mercury dealers here, but never had Mercury badging. One of the rarest of all these Mercury cars was the first-generation Tracer, a Mazda design that made its way here via Australia. The bloodline of the Tracer goes back to the Mazda 323, the ancestor of today's Mazda3 and the platform used for all those US-market Ford Escorts of the 1990s. Starting in 1991, the Tracer name went onto badge-engineered Escorts, according to Mercury tradition, but the 1988-1989 Tracers were based on the Australian-market Ford KE Laser. Underneath all of those cars (as well as the early-1990s Capris) lived Mazda 323 running gear, of course. This one nearly made it to the 175,000-mile mark during its time on the road, which is respectable by the standards of 1980s Mazdas. With an automatic transmission transferring the 84 horses from its Mazda B6 engine to the front wheels, this car wouldn't have offered a great deal of driving excitement. 1989 Tracer buyers could choose between a two-door hatchback, a four-door hatchback, and a four-door wagon. Not many Americans hurried over to their local Mercury dealers to buy Tracers, despite the fact that the nearest Ford-badged identical twins were on the other side of the globe. Mercury still seemed relevant in the late 1980s, but its days were numbered. The actress driving the Tracer in this TV commercial seems to have the same deer-in-headlights facial expression of the hapless driver-training students in the 1968 AMC Rebel commercial.
Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
