1969 Mercury Cougar Xr-7 5.8l on 2040-cars
Norwalk, California, United States
|
This car is one of the best driving and looking not to mention fun cougars that I have ever owned, and in the last 30 plus years have had a bunch. The car is about 99.8 percent rust free, has one spot half the size of the end of your pinkie finger under paint at drivers bottom door corner and three bubbles same size under paint on pass. side bottom behind rear wheel, that's it,,,, car is fantastic,,,, The body is fantastic and the interior is like new,,,, head liner and vynol top are about two years old and are great,, The outside and inside of this car are almost like new for the year,, The inside has NO !! holes, tears or rips,,, NONE !!! All outside and inside lights work, even trunk and glove box light (clock and clock light don't work),,, All gauges work except the factory tach, it works but not correctly so added a 8000 rpm tach to steering column, and yes the factory RIM BLOW HORN WORKS !!!!!!!! Car was a factory 3-Speed manual but was changed to a Tremec TKO 5-speed, Work was done right,,, shifts perfect with NO vibration in drive train,, and I MEAN NONE !!! The rear end was changed to a posi rear end, NO winds or howls,,,,,, at 65 to 70 mph on freeway only tachs out at 2500 rpm so car is great for street or freeway and good on gas. Also has Wilwood racing disc brakes on front. This car is not a Barrett Jackson show car, not so much for condition but because of the salvage title, but this car is every bit as good as it looks and I think allot better, I know car was hit on drivers side quarter panel and one a-arm has been replaced, but could not have been hit hard and was repaired correctly,, looks fantastic and drives perfect,,,,, we all know how many old cars have had huge sections cut out because of rust and damage, some times put together from three or four diff cars but they still have a clear title,,, this car has none of that,,,!!!! This is the perfect driver and local car show car to win some trophies,,,, so with the condition and the way it drives unless you are taking it to Barrett Jackson Auction the title shouldn't matter,, and yes you can get classic car insurance like Hagerty or other companies except AAA, they won't do classic insurance on salvage title. So I don't want to hear anything about the title,,,, car is worth every penny I'm asking and more,,,,,,, just take a look at factory stick shifts on eBay and Craigslist and other sites to see what they sell for especially one in this condition if you can even find one this nice,,,, I welcome inspections,,, take a look or bring your mechanic to check it out,, car has NO mechanical problems,,!!!!!!!! No over heating, no noises,,, drive train is perfect,,, Remember this is a fantastic car but is used so is sold AS-IS ,,,,,,, This is eBay so if you bid and win,, YOU OWN IT ,,,!!!!!! please ask all questions before you bid,,,!!!!! Also the lic plates are personal plates and unless car gets at least $500.00 over reserve or is sold to out of state bidder I'm keeping the plates,,,, call, message or text me with any questions and I will do my best to honestly answer your questions,, all answers will be very honest, not lies or stretching the truth,,,, I value my feed back,,,,, number is 562-274-5637 Best time to call is between 5:30 and 11:00 Monday thru Friday and anytime on weekends, if can't answer phone please leave a message and will return it as soon as possible. Good luck and happy bidding ,,,,,,,

Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls
Tue, 04 Nov 2014
Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
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.
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.'"
