1973 Mercury Cougar with the Eliminator Package (cloned).  Has the most desirable color in factory "burnt orange".  Screams 1970's.  Clone Eliminator package in black.  69000 original miles.  Excellent condition overall.  A very nice driver.  Original 351 Cleveland .  Recent Edelbrock carb.  Dual exhaust added at one point.  Very loud and proud.  The car was repainted the original factory color at one point, a decent paint job.  Still bright but with minor hazing in a couple of places.  Excellent original top with no snags or tears.  This car was and is not a rusty car anywhere.  The interior is overall excellent, only needing a drivers door panel to eliminate a five inch crack and a one inch crack.  Dash is perfect.  Original radio not in car.  I have extra material for the interior.  Has AC, appears to work but not ice cold.  Needs nothing but detailed.  Seen recently by a mechanic who works on vintage cars and he was impressed with how clean underneath the car has remained.  Has new master cylinder and new aluminum radiator.  If you are picky you may want to put new wheels on it as they are pitted in some places and not original to the car.  Tires are matching Kellys all the way around.  Open to partial trade for a snowmobile, snowmobile trailer or celebrity music memorabilia.  This car has been used in a couple films and a new CMT TV series.  A very solid car.  You can call me at 615 504 1512 for walk around details.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The 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.

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday

Mon, 04 Oct 2010

Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
