Up for sale is a very rare 1969 Mercury Cougar Eliminator. The Eliminator was Mercury's answer to sister-company Ford's Mach I and Boss Mustangs, and is a very rare and special muscle car... only 2,250 total were produced in 1969. They were only made in four colors: Competition Orange, White, Yellow, and Bright Blue Metallic. There were only 106 made in blue, making it the rarest of the rare. How many are left?
This particular car is in excellent condition inside and out. It shows 74,473 miles on the odometer, believed to be original. One repaint in original Bright Blue Metallic, fresh reproduction factory interior, perfect dash pad, gauges, etc. Gas gauge reads a little lower than actual, and the rim blow horn does not work, but otherwise everything works as it should, no apparent issues. The body is straight, paint is nice and shiny, interior great, running gear strong, etc. A great example of a very rare car. I'd rate the car a solid 7.0-7.5 of 10 or higher in all respects. Not perfect, but very nice throughout. Lights, turn signals *(sequential!), headlamp doors, gauges, tach, speedo, interior courtesy lights, etc. all work. Nice upgraded AM/FM/CD/Aux radio, and I'll include the ordinal as well. The Marti report verifies the car as an authentic Eliminator, and features the following information: Serial Number Information Serial Number 9F91M564424 9 1969 F Built at Dearborn 91 Cougar Hardtop M 351 4v High Performance Engine 64424th Mercury vehicle scheduled for production at Dearborn DOOR DATA PLATE INFORMATION: 65A Cougar Hardtop 6 Bright Blue Metallic Paint, Ford #3077-A 5AA BlackVinyl High Back Bucket Seats 16D Scheduled for build: April 16th, 1969 54 Seattle Ordering District 9 3.25 Optional Axle Ratio X FMX Automatic Transmission Dealer # 54C009 Your vehicle was ordered with the following features: Eliminator Package FMX Merc-O-Matic transmission Optional axle ratio F70-14 Raised white letter tires Console Power front disc brakes Power steering AM radio Decor Group Remote control left hand racing mirrors Heavy-duty suspension While every effort is being made to describe this vehicle accurately, it is in fact a 44-year-old classic, and therefore being sold as-is, without warranty or guarantee expressed, written, or implied.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
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.
