I Have a getting hard to find 1967 cougar that I bought to restore but now have other project to do and no time to put on this one. I bought this from a person that had put a lot of money in the motor it has a 302 bored 40 over with a big cam and it also has aluminum JEGS heads on it witch are around a $1000 by them self. It however has been in a Garage for 7 years I took it home on a trailer and got it running and it does have some power but it seems the it has a main bearing Knocking or wrist pins ??? don't no much about motors or the car other then the little bit they knew the motor I was told has less then 3500 miles on it. I had two mechanics tell me it was the risk pins and one tell me it was the main we did drop the oil pan and all rods seem to be fine. Other then the noise when it warms up this car has a lot of power and runs pretty fair but could use some carb work but runs good after warmed up so not bad for sitting that long. But it is a restore project for sure. All lights work but has a lot of wire splices in it. the head light lids don't open by them self but i see the air lines going to them are not even hooked up and looked to be a little rotten. Not much rust from what i can see it does look like it has had some body work done last time it was fixed up but not sure what. The body looks pretty straight there is some spots in the trunk that have rusted threw but they are small. it has air shocks on back and traction bars i think under the back with a posi rear-end. I was told it was built to race however the car looks to be all there other then the center column is gone and replaced with race shifter also is missing some dash parts like glove box and radio and dash cover is in bad shape all glass is good the back driver side widow seems to be off the track. Their are no locks in this car also you have to flip a toggle switch on then turn the key to make it start.. so unless you no that it will turn over but not start until you flip that on. should be a easy fix i put the new ignition switch in it but i think their is a wire that need to be hooked back up for the key to do all the work again ???.
I am not going to say this car is perfect but they are worth the money and time if you have it to fix them up this one is in pretty good shape yet and can be driven. blinkers also work
well that is all i no about it.
Happy bidding

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
