1946 Mercury coupe clear ohio title notarized and ready to be signed over. Flathead v8 turns over but backfires when attempting to start, that's all I know about the engine condition. Im not sure if its a timing issue, valve issue, or maybe compression? Car would be a good winter project. It is fairly solid but will require some patches on the driver side floor as well as some of the lower areas of the car. Doors close nicely without sagging. Mostly complete so it could be restored.or build a rat rod. car has a nice patina. Would make a cool survivor style driver. The nearly impossible to find grill and dash is intact. I noticed that it has a different rear bumper, the driver side door trim doesn't match the rest( I assume its a ford trim pc). also the running boards have been replaced with ford coupe running boards but I do have the Mercury trim that can be swapped. radiator has a dent from a barn beam that fell on the old hood at some point during its years of storage. current hood is from Nebraska and is very nice(cost was $300) I removed the old hood hinges and they are in the trunk. It appears that a backyard bodyman pop riveted some tin inside of the rear wheel wells in an attempt to make inner fenders liners, I have taken photos from inside the trunk to show that the tin on the bottom wasn't hiding anything major. I have too many projects and could use the some cash to complete some of the ones that are further along. I don't want to see this car sit outside all winter. please don't bid if you don't intend to buy. email me with any questions or to set up a time to view it before bidding if you would like. buyer is responsible for picking up the vehicle. I live in the country so the car can be stored for awhile until shipping can be arranged AS LONG AS IT IS PAID IN FULL first. I will gladly assist with loading.

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.

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.

Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
