1969 Ford Mercury Xr7 Cougar Great Resto Project Or Mustang Donor Car! Rust Free on 2040-cars
Newport Beach, California, United States
|
This 1969 XR7 Cougar would make a great restoration project or a donor car for a Dynacorn new body Mustang. This car has spent its life in sunny So California so it doesn't have any rust other than surface rust. A VERY original survivor car that has never been modified or disassembled. It still retains nearly all its factory parts in very good to excellent condition. Lots of high value parts if it's parted out. Would make a great resto mod too! Since this is an XR7, it is fully loaded: 351 Windsor 2V. 9" Rear Axle, Complete Power Steering system, Complete A/C system, Complete Power Disc Brake calipers including Bendix booster and orig Bendix master cylinder. Engine is complete except for carb & air cleaner. I sold the radiator, seq. box & console already, otherwise the car is complete. All these systems are identical to a 1969 Mustang. Deluxe interior group includes: Tach Gauge package, Power windows/locks, Tilt Steering Column with Rim blow wheel. A/C, Deluxe door panels & upholstery. Clock panel, Map Light. Original color I believe is Indian Fire (Burnt Orange, same color as the show car pictured). Black vinyl roof. This XR7 has never been wrecked or in a crash, The frame is very straight. The whole front clip is perfect, no damage. The hood is nearly flawless as are the bumpers, grille, fenders, RH door, quarter panels & deck lid. Somebody kicked in the drivers door and broke the glass but it's fixable. Dent in roof and at RH qtr end cap. otherwise the body is in excellent condition. If you need a donor car for a Dynacorn Mustang body, this is the perfect car for that. All the systems are an exact match for a 1969 Mustang. |

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford 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.

Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti 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.
NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
