1969 Cougar Convertible on 2040-cars
Grants Pass, Oregon, United States
Where do I start. This has been a labor of love for twelve years. It is almost finished. Sadly I cannot complete this project.
The car was stripped down to bare shell, media blasted to bare metal. New seam sealer applied. So many details so much money, I can't include it all here. This was an extensive TOTAL restoration. Whats left is the detail stuff. install vacuum canister and harness for headlights. Install rubber parts, clock, door panels, window cranks,heater box, side lights, alighn and titen bumpers,etc. I have most of the parts to complete. I Don't have the fiberglass side panels for back seat. Those are available new. The steering wheel is nasty. front and rear bumpers are new. I have rocker mouldings but no clips. The motor was built by auto legend Jeff Jahns (Jahns Pistons)before his retirement The 351 windsor motor was stroked to 408" estimated horsepower 450+ Transmission is a rebuilt toploader 4 speed. differential is a lincoln versais with disc brakes. interior and top are new with 1970 cougar seats (I prefer the highbacks ) If you are serious about this project, I'm sure you can tell how much money has gone into this. Please call me with any questions or concerns Peter 541 4793333 On Jul-17-14 at 18:48:03 PDT, seller added the following information: Please note the car comes with generic tires and wheels.

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.
Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
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.
