The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Perfect opportunity to buy a classic Cougar with some issues for less than a parts car. The car has bubbles under the vinyl top and needs a new roof. It has an exhaust manifold leak. The auto choke needs work. Floors are mostly solid with one small rust thru on passenger side. It is not a rustbucket except for the roof. The sheet metal is good, straight, never been hit. The paint is fair, glossy but some alligator in places, The rubber is fair. Mileage is estimated, rolled over. A/C not hooked up."

This is a nice looking car that is on it's third owner since new. It has always been in Florida. It runs and drives great. It has a bad rust issue under the vinyl roof and needs a roof replacement and an exhaust manifold leak. We drove this car 4 hours to Daytona and back with no issues. The engine runs great, but sounds loud due to the manifold leak. It has a C-6 rear, and the 351 Cleveland 2 BBL. Power steering and power brakes. The interior is ok, but some torn seams and the rear quarter back seat trim plastic is deteriorated.. The car looks and drives ok, It needs someone to care for her and I have one too many classic cars and want to make more garage room. Do not bid if not serious. I reserve the right to sell early if sold locally and end the auction. Do not ask me my reserve. Winning bidder must pay $500.00 within 48 hours of auction end, and pick up the car within two weeks after payment in full has been made and cleared. Have clear title. The paint looks good, but honestly, she needs a repaint. Not all the panels match, and someone spilled paint on the front passenger fender. This car is far too nice to consider parting....but I have no time to do the roof now. Thats why the price is as low as it is on buy it now. Open to offers but make it realistic or I will just keep the car. Call me at 239-823-3291 with questions. Ask for Ray or email ropthof2@comcast.net

I have a walkaround video I can email if you would like.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There 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 closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It'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.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
