 First off let me say that this car is pretty much an original car the way it is and the only reason I put it as a project is because it needs minor body work, paint and interior to be really nice but it is a pretty nice driver the way it is Here we have a 1966 comet up for sale. It is mostly an original car with a few improvements made. Originally this car was a 390 bbc car but it now has a 428 service block (C6ME) with 427 tri power  low riser heads (C3AE-8090-G) witch spec out to 428 cj head specs . I mean they are identical with 70cc combustion chambers  and  the same size valves pretty much the same head just different casting numbers. Now the build on this motor is only about a year old so there is not a lot of miles on it and it shows. It is bored 30 over with 12:1 compression pistons and a solid cam with high/lift duration and comp roller rockers with shell lifters and dove  push rods. Sitting on top is a 428 police interceptor intake (C7AE-9425) with a new Edelbrock  650 carb. The ignition is a Mallory unilite mech adv distributor with new cap and wires.

Now the tran’s has been upgraded too with a manual valve body and B&M shift kit and a factory 2500 stall convertor and new rear  tranny  mount  and if you stick your foot in the carb it will snap your head back when it hits second gear. The rear end was not left out either it is a factory 3:25 28 spline posi unit that was completely rebuilt. So the whole drive line is as close to new as you can get.

The car is pretty much all original with original paint and interior. The front seats need to be redone but the back seat and door panels look good yet and the dash pad has one crack at the speaker grille besides that it is very nice but the headliner around the rear deck looks like years of moisture on the back window has taken its toll and it will need to be replaced at some point. The console is in very good condition and all interior lights work as they should. All gauges work as they should and even the radio still works. Head lights,blinkers and brake lights work as they should. Tires are new 205/75/r14 and the brakes work good but it is 4-wheel drum brakes. Nada values this car from low retail at $10,465 to high retail at $31,070 with the average price of $18,265. Now my reserve is well below the average retail price so this is your chance to get a valuable car for under book value. If you have any questions you can email me thru ebay or call me at 231-206-5258 and my name is Kirk. Thanx for looking

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
