1967 Mercury Cougar Base 4.7l on 2040-cars
La Grande, Oregon, United States
|
I started it today and it sounds like it might need some engine work. I was hoping for light mechanical but no deal. The front fenders are off a 1968 Cougar. From what I can tell they were replaced due to an accident. All the glass looks to be original except the windshield and drivers main door glass. There is some rust and overall, you should go through this top to bottom. I'll try to list enough pics to satisfy all questions. Needs all new upholstery, headliner, paint, tires. No warranty of course. Your bidding on a 1967 Cougar that has sat around for years. I bought it 2 weeks ago and just jump started it with a carb full of fresh gas. It ran till the gas ran out, but is making a noise in the engine. A guy up my street says he thinks it needs lifters?? I have no idea. I have a few pics of some numbers, decipher what you can, cause I don't have a clue if it's all original. I have no way to verify if the engine,transmission,carburetor, fuel pump or anything else for that matter is original, so I tried to show all pertinent photos to help you decide.

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.
Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.

Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti 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.
