West Palm Beach, Florida, United States

I'm no expert, just bought this from a retired school teacher and wish to sell it straight away. Interior and exterior look great. Looks like it was restored about 7 years ago and has been garage kept. She recently replaced tires, fuel pump, voltage regulator, refurbed generator, relined gas tank, master cylinder and brakes, gaskets, headlights, starter, rebuilt carb, battery, water pump, belts and misc. There is rust underneath and a few small bubbles under the paint here and there but not bad. The body, bumpers and trim all straight and in tact. All original parts from what I can tell. I also have a shop manual and some parts catalogs. The engine sounds and runs good, but needs some carb tweaking which I'm going to do. It wants to stall at stops but was able to keep running with my foot on the pedal slightly. But the lady mentioned it normally runs good and sat for a while and needed those tweaks. I have the manual on the carb and will run through all the recommended settings. After playing with it a little without knowledge it ran much better, so I assume I can get it purring. There are no leaks and we drove it for about 20 minutes no problem. Steers nice, brakes are old school but work fine. All the lights work. Radio is original and works good, the speaker was just replaced. Headliner is good. There are no tears or cracks on the dash or seats. Has seat belts. All Door locks and trunk work. There are boxes of spare parts in the trunk. Has a jack and spare tire. Windows all crank and seat nicely.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.

Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
Watch as an out-of-control car demolishes gas pump
Tue, May 2 2017A Baltimore area man was fighting for his life Tuesday after crashing his car into a gas station. According to WBAL, the unidentified 64-year-old lost control of his vehicle for unknown reasons around 4:55 a.m. May 1 in Parkville, Md. The 2007 Mercury Milan careened downhill, ramped over a curb, and smashed full-speed into a gas station pump. The car then flipped and came to rest against one of the station's canopy support pillars. Don Karbowniczek, owner of a service station across the street, told WBAL he was shocked there wasn't more damage. It's also surprising that the car even made it to the pumps, as it had to thread past a coin-op vacuum machine, the station's sign, a utility pole, and a traffic light pole. "It came right through, took some of our bushes out, just trimmed them for us, and how it got through and flip the way it did, I don't know. From what I see on the marks, it had to go airborne and just come down on the pump," Karbowniczek said. Thankfully there was no fire or explosion. Gas pumps have shear valves - safety devices that immediately cut the flow of gasoline when a pump is damaged. The driver was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, and was in critical condition. Police theorized the driver may have become stricken with a health issue when he lost control.
