Up for auction is a 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7. This car will be a great restoration project or parts car. This is a complete car but is rusty. I have not done a close inspection but I have seen rust in the quarters, doors, floors, shock tower tops, torque boxes. Frame rails seem to be solid. This Cougar was a daily driver until 2009 when it was parked. It will run if you keep a supply of fuel to the carburetor but will not pump from the tank. There is a brake leak somewhere and a water hose leak. Engine and transmission appear to be in good working order. I purchased this car as an investment to resell and is listed at a fair price. The 2bbl carburetor and intake was replaced with a 4bbl Carter AFB Carburetor. Wheels are Ford Steel with hubcaps (3, missing one). The previous owner drove it from 1994 until 2004, then occasionally started/moved it until 2009. I am willing to deliver the car up to 300 miles from my home at $1.00 per mile ROUND TRIP. Rate to be calculated before delivery via Google Maps. I would prefer local pickup in Jeffersonville, IN. Please ask questions before you bid or give me a call at 502-445-3993 to discuss the car. VIN and Door Tag information is below. Happy bidding - Jeff

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.
NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
