This is a nice looking car that is on it's third owner since new. It has always been in Florida. It runs and drives great. It has a bad rust issue under the vinyl roof and needs a roof replacement and an exhaust manifold leak. We drove this car 4 hours to Daytona and back with no issues. The engine runs great, but sounds loud due to the manifold leak. It has a C-6 rear, and the 351 Cleveland 2 BBL. Power steering and power brakes. The interior is ok, but some torn seams and the rear quarter back seat trim plastic is deteriorated.. The car looks and drives ok, It needs someone to care for her and I have one too many classic cars and want to make more garage room. Do not bid if not serious. I reserve the right to sell early if sold locally and end the auction. Do not ask me my reserve. Winning bidder must pay $500.00 within 48 hours of auction end, and pick up the car within two weeks after payment in full has been made and cleared. Have clear title. The paint looks good, but honestly, she needs a repaint. Not all the panels match, and someone spilled paint on the front passenger fender. This car is far too nice to consider parting....but I have no time to do the roof now. Thats why the price is as low as it is on buy it now. Open to offers but make it realistic or I will just keep the car. Call me at 239-823-3291 with questions. Ask for Ray or email ropthof2@comcast.net

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.
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
