This is a "Project" car that still needs more work. Look at the pictures and read the description. Starting the bid low to give everyone a chance. Due to disability and financial problems, I am unable to finish the car. Now looking to sell to raise quick cash for bills. The Rebuilt Engine, Transmission and Rear plus all these parts listed, then add all the machine shops and all the mechanics costs come to over $12 grand total. Most of the hard work and cost has been done. Should not take much more to get it on the road.
Owned this car Since 1982 when I purchased it from family member. This car was a daily driver up until several years ago. We decided to upgrade the engine, transmission and rear end. Plenty of New parts and alot of mechanical work has been done. Started up this engine for it's first time (has zero miles since rebuild) and it sounded great with the Hooker Headers and Turbo Mufflers. Unfortunately it stalled out a few times due to bad fuel (tea colored) shown in the clear fuel filter. I would recommend replacing the 40 year old Gas Tank and Fuel Lines because of the gas tanks internal rust will contaminate the engine. The engine has no miles on it and will need adjustments and a breakin period. The 3 Speed Automatic transmission has no miles on it, needs to run all gears and check fluids. The rear end was rebuilt with new bearings and 4.11 gears also with no miles on it. The car will need some minor work and TLC before you can drive it on the road. The car needs lots of body work, has rust in quarters, floor and trunk. Will need paint and body work to make is look great. Plus any other minor mechanical issues. The interior is original all black as it came. Dash shows cracking and so does the leather seats. The black carpet is worn and needs replacement. The door panels show alot of wear. The black headliner has wear and a minor few tears. This is normal condition for a 40 year old car. Below is a partial listing, many more New parts just too much to list all of them.
This sale is for serious car buyers only, email me with your phone number for more details and appointment. This car is in a Las Vegas Storage Facility. Not driveable, so it will need to be towed and or shipped. Local buyers, If you want to hear the engine, I will get help to start it up for a demo run (not to drive). Payment in cash upon pickup. Clean Nevada Title in my name. Sold "as-is" condition all sales are final.

A 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.

You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.

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.
