Up for Auction is this incredible Mississippi Barn find 1965 Comet Cyclone 2 door hardtop 289 4 speed dealer installed A/C car. This is truly a rare find being only around 400 1965 Comet Cyclones were produced!!! This Car has been sitting 20+ years until falling into my possession. Everything is there to make a very easy restoration or simply drive and enjoy how it is. I have had the car for several months now and have rebuilt the carburetor, replaced starter, new alternator, new water pump, new dryer for the a/c and fittings for r134a Freon, new plugs and wires, and several tanks of premium gasoline haha. Because I have put atleast 400 miles on the car testing and tuning. The old car has no problem cruising 70+ mph or banging through the gears and coming to a nice stop with the drum brakes. Car seems to me to have a early restoration sporting vin code paint of Dark Ivy Green Metallic with Original Cream Color Interior. All Badges, Chrome, Fender Skirts, Air Cleaner, and Original Hubcaps are all with the car. The Original NUMBERS MATCHING 289 still sports its original chrome valve covers and chrome dip stick. Still runs very strong and sounds AWESOME!!!! The Original 4 Speed Top Loader shifts very nice with Original wood knob shifter. All mechanics work very nice together for a nice ride especially in the Cold Ford Dealer A/C. This is a very solid car with only 1 spot of rust behind passenger wheel well that is nothing major at all. The entire underside of the car, trunk, floor pans, door pillars, fire wall are all very very solid with only minor surface rusting/discoloring. Body is pretty strait with a few bumps here and there. The paint is driver quality with scratches and blemishes but hey its older than I am. Interior is nice and neat very nice carpet but missing the dash pad. All gauges and lights are working. Can only be missing minor things but, have a bucket full of miscellaneous parts that go with the car. All chrome and other parts are in the trunk. PLEASE CALL!!!!

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible
Wed, 31 Aug 2011Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.
Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
