This is a real Cobra Jet Q code 4 speed 1972 Cougar.

One of 877 with the equipped with the Cobra Jet package, 156 of which had 4 speeds.

Original Engine, Original 4 Speed, Original Styled Steel Wheels.

As you can see from the Elite Marti Report - this is the only car ever optioned in this manner - a True One of One car.

This car does not drive well - it drives Fantastic!

Starts, stops, turns - GOES. Running through the gears on this car is about the most fun you can have.

This car does have significant damage to the rear on the drivers side that will have to be addressed upon restoration. However it is purely cosmetic, it does not effect the driveability of the vehicle (although I would be careful about placing smaller items that roll around in the trunk).

The car - originally gold - has been painted a sharp black color - I get a two word reaction to the blacked out bumper and grille treatment - "Way Cool".

These photographs were taken 3 hours ago, after I took them I noticed the front tire on the drivers side had gone nearly flat (it was OK yesterday). I am selling this car based on that tire being repaired or replaced this week before the sale is finalized.

If you are looking for a rare, cool car that drives beautifully today and can be restored to perfection at the time of your choosing - you should consider purchasing this vehicle.

After the first time you take it for a drive, I am confident you will be quite pleased with your purchase.

Detailed questions regarding the car's condition can be directed to my mechanic Rick, ricksmithpontiac@gmail.com, 443-375-7026.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Ford 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.

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.
