I have a 1973 Mercury Cougar XR 7 Convertible in good solid condition for your consideration. The car runs great I just had it out on the freeway and drove solid for 50 miles at 75mph. The tranny shifts out nice it is newly professionally rebuilt. The 351 Cleveland engine power packed. The power top motor just went out. The previous owner did redo the interior and it is very nice so is the carpet. The floor of the the trunk is solid(see pics).The top is new.....the paint is NEW! The chrome is very good(see pics) and all the glass is intact and not cracked. The body one small rust bubble on the passenger door. The underside of the car is solid, floor pans are solid. The car has no fluid leaks at all. Here is what I have done:

1. Replaced drivers side rear tail light lens very rare to find in this nice shape.

2. Replaced radio with 8 track player that works, people love to hear it play

3. Tranny is newly rebuilt in August.

4. New rear axle seals with pinion seal

5. Replaced hood ornament

5. Blinkers now work but not sequentially

6. Brake lights did not work now they do.

7. Convertible release handle is new.

8. Fuel gauge is not working, all others do.

9. New trunk lock

10. New lower radiator hose.

11. Carb is new

12. Battery is new

13. Coil is new

14. Brand new paint

15 All the lights work.

So look at my pics and ask me any questions. Buyer is responsible for pick up. I have a great shipper if you need him. Call me at 210-842-1447. There are no warranties and I have described as best as I can. Opinions vary and mine is one of a non-purist, non-perfectionist. So do not bid if you are a purist. Bid if you want a good car to keep for years to come. The car is for sale locally so I can end this auction at any time. I have added new pictures from underneath the car and the trunk and the body and panel gauges. You can see the car is pretty solid underneath as is the body. This is the Base model, you can install AC very easily to the pulleys and mount a compressor. I have a set of headers that will go to the buyer. FMX tranny is good to go.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

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.

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."
