1971 Mercury Comet Base 5.0l on 2040-cars
Troy, Missouri, United States
|
I am selling my 71 Mercury Comet GT, this car has a 302 bored .60 over
and is putting out over 300 hp. It was set up to drag race and had
times of about 12.5 seconds in the quarter mile.
9" rear end, subframe connectors and traction bars are installed also. It is streetable and I have 1971 License plates on it. The car is an automatic on the floor with a line loc on it. It runs STRONG and drives good, I just don't use it and could use the cash for other things. It does need some cosmetic improvements but is a nice street car as it sits. I have an original set of front bucket seats for the car that would go with it. It has a racing bucket for the driver seat right now and another bucket on the passenger side. The carburetor was rebuilt last year. The battery is new and is mounted in the trunk. Mileage unknown and odometer and speedometer are not hooked up, fuel gauge does not work. Tachometer is inoperative, worked when I got car, but I think it shorted out when positive battery cable hit frame on a bare spot. NO power steering or brakes, and has four wheel drums on it. No heat or AC, lower dash has been removed for racing purposes to reduce weight, I do not have parts. When was the last time you saw one of these for sale. Tires are great and I have an extra set that will also be included, along with a couple of boxes of spare parts and other stuff I got with the car. Thanks for looking. |

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.

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
