You are looking at a rare 74 Cougar here. Bought this car exactly one year ago with the intention of fully restoring it. Car is all original with 52K on a rare 351 Cobra Jet 4BBL. Original rare paint code (see Marti Report) Body is perfectly straight with no dents, interior is in perfect shape with no rips, cracks or tears.  Interior is a beige corderoy type material that will be perfect once steam cleaned.  No stains.  I honestly have not even cleaned the interior since I bought it.  Car is completly rust free except for a rust spot about the size of a quarter near the bottom of the rear finder behind the back passenger tire.  Floors, trunk are solid and rust free. All chrome is in great shape.  Believe that that the AC will blow cold with just a charge.  I also was planning on replacing the Vinyl top as well as it has a few cracks behind the chrome moulding on it.  This is an original owner car from Pennsylvania. Previous owner in Texas bought it at an auction when it was traded in by the orignal owner. He then turned it around after a year and I picked it up last May. I have basically done nothing with the car except change all fluids, belts, hoses. Selling as my true passion is to own a 71-73 Cougar - willing to consider for a trade as well. Runs excellent, transmission is smooth, great suspension, power steering, dual exhausts.  This is quite a bit of a car for the money and would not take much to restore this cat to it's original beauty.  Car is beautiful even in it's current shape but my original goal was to bring it back to show room condition.  Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

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."
