1976 Mercury Capri. Interesting Capri. Saw limited time as an Ice Racer #42, The Spanish Red Racer" with AMEC but the RWD was not the best for racing on ice with all other carshaving front wheel drive. Retired in 2007. Great interior seats and has the fold down rear seats like a fastback Mustang. Custom Steering wheel. Needs a good paint job. V-6 2.8 has a mild cam, Offenhauser intake and a Holley carb. Headers and dual exhaust. Also has a five core custom radiator so would not overheat when racing. Standard shift with four speed Ford transmission. Extremely quick and can top 100 miles per hour. Comes with a choice of wheels. Either the 13 " American racing wheels with radial tires or the 13 " MOMOs with Bridgestone/Firestone snow sponge tires. Your choice. Starts and drives very nice. Power steering rebuilt in Florida and new reverse gear in transmission. Some rust but nothing major as it is a sound car. Original spare wheel and tire. Had a vinyl top at one time but that has been removed. Also factory sun roof in working order. Registered and inspected in New York. Good luck bidding, Seller Adding two photos from 2007 at Algonquin Lake in Wells, NY with #42 Steet Legal Unstudded( SLU) with Bridgestone/Firestone Tires.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.

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.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
