This is an original numbers matching car. I have the Marti report on her and she is one of 21 cars built with the options she has. She was born in Michigan, was sold in a dealership in Atlanta and spend most of its life in California where I bought her from 18 months ago.

This cat purrrrs with only 72,000 original miles on her. The 351 Windsor engine and FMX transmission and Eliminator heavy duty suspension were rebuilt by the prior owner. Car was originally white but when restored was painted with care to the beautiful bright blue you see today. I believe it’s called competition blue. She is an original A/C car and I just redid the A/C with all new components at the cost of $3,000. I have a thick file of receipts totaling $22,000.00 NOT INCLUDING COST OF CAR! For you Cougar enthusiasts this is a rare car and the one to own!

Amazing condition, this is an all metal car NO BONDO. New top and rebuilt power top motor operate perfectly. She has functional working hide-away headlights and sequential tail lights. I just replaced the actuators on headlights. Speedo, gas gauges, windshield wipers, stereo, dashboard lights, door lights, reverse lights and even the cigarette lighter work! Has the rare Rimblo steering wheel and eliminator suspension. Just did a wheel alignment and put on 2 new tires. Drives and runs excellent.This is one of the best 69's you will find out there.  

ENGINE- REBUITMatching Numbers 351 CI & WAS FULLY REBUILT (LESS THAN 600 MI ) and Matching Numbers FMX TRANSMISSION  WHICH PROVIDES THIS RIDE WITH MORE THAN ENOUGH POWER FOR THIS DAILY DRIVER AND IS EXCELLENT ON THE HIGHWAY. GEARS ARE ORIGINAL AND PERFECT FOR HIGHWAY DRIVING OR CRUISING AROUND TOWN. THE CAR HAS POWER STEERING & NEW DUAL EXHAUST. THERE IS A NEW BATTERY AS WELL AS A REBUILT STARTER. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.

INTERIOR- THE INSIDE IS IN GREAT CONDITION WITH NEW CARPETING AND THE RARE / EXPENSIVE RIMBLO STEERING WHEEL FINISH OFF THE INTERIOR. ORIGINAL STEREO SYSTEM IS INSTALLED AND WORKING WITH NEW SPEAKERS. NEEDS SOUND RESISTOR

ELECTRONICS-  HEADLIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, WIPERS, GAS GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, INTERIOR LIGHTS, REVERSE LIGHTS & CIGARETTE LIGHTER WORK. Original STEREO SYSTEM & NEW RFID STARTER KILL.HORN IS NOT HOOKED UP. ORIGINAL A/C CAR THAT IS WORKING PERFECTLY WITH NEW CONDENSER, COMPRESSOR, POA VALVE ETC

RIMS & TIRES- THE CAR HAS NICE SETS OF STOCK RIMS.

EXTERIOR- BEAUTIFUL NEW COMPETITION BLUE PAINT JOB W BLACK HOOD SCOOP AND ELIMINATOR TAIL-FIN. NEW TOP AND POWER TOP MOTOR INSTALLED AS WELL. CHROME IS IN GREAT SHAPE BUT NOT PERFECT. GLASS IS GREAT TOO JUST NEEDS SLIGHT ALIGNMENT.

KEEP IN MIND THE CAR IS 42 YRS OLD AND ALTHOUGH BEAUTIFUL SHE IS BEING SOLD AS-IS WITH NO WARRANTY. I ALWAYS SUGGEST COMING TO SEE THE CAR IF POSSIBLE.

SHIPPING- Cost and coordination is responsibility of the buyer. I am happy to assist where and how I can and even happy to refer guys I have used to transport but again all cost and responsibility is buyers.

Lastly I might not be a high volume Ebay member but I have perfect feedback for a reason. I don't do wrong by anyone! If you are a scammer please move on. I will allow for international buyers but cash or a wire must clear before pick up. I do have another car for sale but I am NOT a broker. Just letting go of of some of my toys. I am not hurting for cash nor am I in a rush. Not interested ina trade for a motorcycle or a boat!

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers

Mon, 04 Aug 2014

These 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.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It'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 recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
