1968 Mercury Cougar 302 V8 4 speed manual.  I have owned this car since 2011, I have the clean clear Pennsylvania title in my name and ready for immediate transfer.  The odometer is a 5 digit odometer and reads 35xxx,  To the best of my knowledge actual mileage it is 135xxx,   I purchased the cougar from a gentleman in Ohio.  He had the car built in the early 1990's by his good friend who worked as a local racing engine builder(in Ohio).  So the 302 with a holley 4 barrel carb and weiand intake manifold under the hood is very strong good running engine.  Sorry I don't know the engine specs but it runs great, and always starts right up.  The 4.10 gears in the rear and the 4 speed manual transmission make for a fun drive.  Flowmaster mufflers, Hedman headers, Accel coil and distributer.  Mercury cougar embossed valve covers.  The previous owner had a new flywheel, clutch, starter installed and had the gear box redone(I am pretty sure it is a hurst transmission)  All this was done in 2007.  The car has new Magnum 500 wheels with the Mercury man center caps and new tires on the car.  Rear are 16" and fronts 15".   The cars sequential turn signals in the rear work great with updated electronics recently installed.  The hidden headlamp doors also work excellent.  In 2012 a new aluminum radiator and edelbrock water pump were installed on the car.  The car looks good, has small surface rust bubbles on the front of the left fender, small bubble on exterior passenger door, and on the rear deck lid real small spots(They are the exact same size as when I bought the car in 2011, never changed at all)  Some small paint peeling on the quarter panel as well(never changed size or worsened since I purchased he car) There was a small aftermarket spoiler on the deck lid when I got the car and I took it off(wanted the original look), there is a photo of the black rubber plugs I have used to block the small mounting holes.  The all black interior is in excellent condition. original rear seat, fronts were recovered in the early 90's when the car was rebuilt.  The cougar sports deluxe door trim panels.  Also have the cougar floor mats in the car I have found them as reproductions and they look great.  Heater works,  Car originally had ac, but there is no compressor.  Kenwood cd player that is I pod ready along with alpine speakers front and rear in the car, I never turn the radio on, I personally enjoy the sound of the 302 under the hood!!  The vinyl top is in excellent condition, the paint is average for a car that was painted in the early 1990's, pretty straight with no dents or dings this is a great 10 footer.  Paint shines nice, but not a high end paint job.  This is a solid great running Mercury Cougar!  I can supply you with any additional photos you may need.  I have shop manuals for the car and a reproduction owners manual.  She is a great looking car and runs great.  Stored under cover in a heated garage.  The Cougar is ready to drive with no work needed  Wouldn't take much to make a perfect show car, right now it is a very nice driver!!  It is a real head turner.  No warranty expressed or implied, I personally recommend seeing the car in person, but certainly not mandatory.  I can help with loading etc.  $500.00 dollar non refundable deposit due within 24 hours of auction end.  Car is located in Clarion Pennsylvania, 16214.   LOW RESERVE!!

As you can tell in the photographs, this car had minimal miles put on it since the rebuild.  It was driven just enough to maintain it properly, she never sat long periods of time and was always maintained properly when in heated winter storage.

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7

Sun, 31 Jul 2011

You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.

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.
