1968 Cougar, numbers matching, 302 four valve four barrel carb, automatic, air, power steering, power front disc brakes, stainless dual performance exhaust,like new interior including XR7 opera lights, working original am/fm radio.

I am the third owner of the car. It was purchased new in California in late 1968. Within a year the original owner installed the American Racing wheels that are still on the car and have been for 45 years. He had the car for most of its life. The next owner rarely drove the car but made good investments into its upkeep including new paint and some interior work.

I have owned the car for a couple of years. All of the projects are now complete. The car is ready for the next owner to enjoy. Here is a breakdown of work completed and the condition of the car.

The car is rust free. The only issue was the front passenger floor. A small hole in the firewall allowed water to accumulate under the carpet. When the carpet was replaced the issue was discovered and repaired. There is no bondo on the car. The paint is very good and was made better. A professional shop repainted the threshold areas, inside of the doors, underside of hood and trunk. Dash was also repainted. Rear bumper was rechromed. Passenger side mirror installed and opera ligts installed.

Dynamat sound deadening was installed on floor, in trunk and inside doors. New carpet installed. New speakers and wire installed. The original AM/FM radio works great. A previous owner installed speakers in the door panels. While I replaced them, I never would have cut the panel for speakers. I acquired another set of matching door panels which you can swap out if you choose. New trunk mat, tire cover, board inserts and tool bag in the trunk along with original jack.

The air conditioning system was completely replumbed and converted to modern materials. It works perfectly. Front end is new, oil pan is too. Front disk brakes and rear drums are new. Battery, plugs, ignition wires, cap etc all recently replaced. A new Holly carb was installed and performance has never been better. The original carb comes with the car. The car starts immediately and runs beautifully. It needs nothing.

I welcome your questions.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer.

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.
