This cougar is a real head turner ! Its not a show car, but looks good.Car had a bad engine when I purchased it off Ebay almost 2 years ago. I replaced it with a low mileage engine out of a wrecked 1998 Lincoln.The mileage on the car was 74,000.After putting in the engine I put it in the muffler shop and had dual exhaust with Flowmaster racing muffler placed at the rear.I ordered the Xenon body kit and had a friend to put  it on and paint the car.It wasnt the best work but it was Free ! The hood scoop is fiberglass bondoed to the factory hood.The car runs and drives like a champ.Everything works as it should and the ac is cold ! The only 2 things this car needs is upper ball joints,and O2 sensors (service light is on and I had the codes scanned ).I drive this car daily and drive it hard at anytime .This will be a collector car in the near future since its the last year for the rear wheel drive Cougar.Feel free to ask any questions about the car and I will answer asap.I bought a new truck so this car is not needed. I will consider partial trade for a old Ford or Mercury. The $100.00 deposit is non refundable and that is to cover my relisting fee if the winning bidder dont pay.Also,speaker box and amp is not included with the sale.       Bid To Win !!!!!!!

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
