Offering for sale is a very restorable, loaded with options, 1967 Mercury Cougar. This CAT has a DSO, district sales office code, of 84 which is Home Office Reserve. It is loaded with options A/C, power steering, power disc brakes, 289 4-V engine, C-4 transmission, low fuel warning light (very rare on a car this early), 5 styled steel wheels and the spare is the original tire. This Cougar was partially disassembled by a PO. Have boxes of parts and hardware. I restore classic Mustangs and have owned several Cougars over the years. I won't do like alot of Mustang enthusiasts and strip all the goodies of this special Mercury Cougar. This is a project car, the engine is apart and in the car. No guarantee that every piece, part, bolt, etc is here, but will include one of everything that I do have of the parts that are boxed up or otherwise placed in the car. When this Cougar was first retrieved from retirement by a PO/scout, a chain was tied around the bumper, DUH, I have another front grille for it, but not sure if I have a bumper. Do have a decent daily driver bumper for the rear. Would like to see this Cougar get the proper restoration it deserves, but once you buy it, you can do anything you can live with doing to it. Here's a couple of pics to get this auction started. More to come as I catalog the contents. Winning bidder is responsible for all transportation costs. If this classic 1967 Mercury Cougar doesn't sell, it could visit my restoration shop during slow hours and the price will be higher the next time it's offered. Available for inspection during the week, also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction if no bids have been placed. This vehicle is sold on a Bill of Sale, Alabama Title Laws started in 1975, can be processed into a Tennessee Title for $200 to cover title and taxes. Please don't bid if you don't have the money or a way to move it. When was the last time you saw a Cougar driving down the street?! Good luck!

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A 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.
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The 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.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
