Good morning This a 1968 Cougar XR7 302 3 speed stick. The car was setting in a body shop when we bought it and had been there for 13 years. The car had been taken down to bear metal and had rust in the drivers side floor pan and light rust in the rear lower finders. My husband replaced the floor pan with a new stamp out one from CCCW. He welded in the new one and seam sealed it. The light rust in the lower finders were repaired using POR15. Car was sealed and painted. He installed a new carpet, new f-seats, new r-seats, new door panels, new kick panels, new window end seals new side window felts and wipers, new windshield and seal. The car also has a New Tires, brakes , battery, heater core, hoses, and tune-up. And the raidator was service. The car has a factory AmFm stereo with new speakers and cyclone wheels. We have done are best to bring you a good dependable car. All the chrome is on the car but is not new and shows its age. The paint job is ok and is a 7 out of 10 the interior looks good and is a 9 out of 10 Like I said this is not a show car but would make a great high school car for the boy or girl. and yes this car is nice anought to take to the week end [ show and shines ] or that Friday night cruses. The motor and tranny work good and sound great as it has duel exh with old school glass packs all the way out the back. . The interior is not stock but it sure looks good as you can see from the pictures. there are a few small problems. There is a small hole in the headliner from a now dead mouse. There is also a very small dent in the roof that can be pop right out when headliner is replaced. My husband has said that this was a fun car to build and should last another 40 years. He did not rebuild the engine as he said it runs good. My husband is just finishing this up this week and told me to list it for sale. This is his 253 car that he has built and sold. He has a glass man coming out to replace the windshield next week before the end of the auction. My husband has said that you can drive this car home but he thinks it should be trailered. This car is being sold as a good running driving car but because of age and millage the car is being sold AS-IS. The new windshield and seal will be installed thursday along with the newley recovered dash pad. and car will be done at that time. My husband has told me that if you need time to pick this up. He will keep it inside the shop for up to a month. after that it will be moved out side to make room for other car projects and a 1938 fairchild 24 airplane.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis LS

Sat, Jan 21 2023

Ford's now-defunct Mercury Division first began using the Marquis name in 1967, on a sporty full-size hardtop based on the Ford LTD, then began offering the Grand Marquis beginning in the 1979 model year. These big, boxy luxury sedans were replaced by big, curvy luxury sedans (on the same platform) starting with the 1992 model year, so today's Junkyard Gem is one of the very last squared-off Grand Marquises ever built. The 1991 Grand Marquis (or "Grandma Keith," as many refer to it today) looks nearly identical to its 1979 predecessor at a glance, just as the 2011 model doesn't differ much from the 1992 model. Ford saw no reason to follow short-lived fashion trends with its simple, sturdy rear-wheel-drive sedan. Only two Grand Marquis trim levels were available for 1991: the base GS and the (somewhat) upscale LS. The former listed at $18,741 and the latter at $19,241, which comes to about $41,494 and $42,601, respectively, in inflated 2022 dollars). This interior would have seemed comfortingly familiar to a 1968 (or even 1958) Mercury owner time-traveling to 1991. This is the optional "full grain leather seating surface," which cost an extra $489 (about $1,083 today). Dig those opera lights! Air conditioning was standard equipment in the 1991 Grand Marquis and its wagon counterpart, the Colony Park. The engine is the good old pushrod 5.0-liter Windsor V8, which would be replaced by a far more modern 4.6-liter SOHC mill in the '92 Grand Marquis. This engine was rated at 180 horsepower. A four-speed automatic was the only transmission available. The early 1990s ended up being the last gasp for padded vinyl roofs being considered mainstream equipment on new Detroit cars; this one was called the "Formal Coach" roof and cost an additional 725 bucks ($1,605 now). Such roofs were still available on a few cars later in the decade, but their time had passed. Why would such a clean Grandma Keith end up in a place like this? That's easy: it got T-boned directly into the right front wheel, mangling the body and bending up the suspension. This damage might have been worth fixing when the car was five years old, but it's a write-off when it happens to a 31-year-old Ford Panther. 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis Commercial - Savings Ad The granddaddy of them all, and on sale in South Texas!
