1967 Cougar GT, this is a high option car that is very original and is a black plate California car with the old California title. The factory options include 390 320HP S code engine, automatic transmission, p/s, pdb, air conditioning, tilt steering, bench seat and more(see marti report attached). This is a running project car that I have driven a short distance down the street but in no way should be considered a driver unless some more work is done. The car has been sitting since around 1986. It will need brake work, fuel sender and/or a tank to be safe(may have scale in it after sitting so long) along with other items like tires. The transmission goes right into gear and shifts well, the power steering worked well and seemed really tight for a car of this age. The odometer shows 94K miles and although I have no documentation based on my experience with these cars seems about right. The tilt steering column is nice and tight moving up and down, the tilt away function is not working right now. The air conditioning is complete but we removed the belt as it also runs the smog pump which has seized from sitting. The turn signals do not work as the sequencer box has been removed, all plug ends are present so it should be plug and play. The dash lights for the turn signals come on so the power should be there for it. The original exhaust system with the transverse muffler(stamped FOMOCO with the C7Z part #) is still on the car and in very good condition , there are some small holes in the resonators and one in one tailpipe, the exhaust is very quiet. The engine has a lifter tick that may clear up with more run time but may need some cleaner run through it, who knows, it has sat for a long period. The shocks appear to be the originals, they are stamped AUTOLITE and are black. The top has some rust from the original vinyl top. The rust seems to be along the where the seams were in the vinyl just to each side of center. The edges and around the windows look to be nice still so I believe it to be a fairly easy fix, especially if you are putting another vinyl top on it.The qtrs are really nice except for a dent on each side at the lower valance, no bubbles that I have found on either of them.The leak from the top has rusted the passenger floor, mostly in the front but also some in the rear. I would put a full length unit on that side. On the lift the rest of the underside looks very solid and original. The front door corners are bubbled like usual and there is some rust around each the plug on each side of the trunk floor, very easy fix. When I got it the original trunk mat and sound pad were in there and trapped some moisture. The rest of the trunk floor looks good. If you are looking for a Cougar project this is a good one to do, high options and very solid. Feel free to ask any questions before bidding. If you need additional pics I have them, ebay only allows 24 so feel free to ask, I have some pics of the muffler with the part # clearly visible, this should be the same as a 1967 GT500 if I am not mistaken. My phone # is 425-308-0802 if you have any questions and are serious about the car.

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!
NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
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.
