1969 MERCURY COUGAR ELIMINATOR. BEFORE I GIVE THE DETAILS THIS IS NOT A NUMBERS MATCHING CAR NOR DID THIS CAR COME FROM THE FACTORY WITH THIS ENGINE. IT ORGINIALLY CAME WITH A 351 AND FMX TRANSMISSION. NOW FOR THE DETAILS, HAS FRESHLY REBUILT 428 ENGINE FROM A LOCAL MACHINE SHOP WITH ANEW ELEBROCK CARB, HOOKER HEADERS, EARLY 1970'S ALUMUNIUM ELEBROCK STREET PERFORMER 890 MANIFOLD. NEW STARTER,REGULATOR, BATTERY, REBUILT RADIATOR. FROM THE EARLY 1970'S A OVAL COUGAR AIR CLEANER ( NOT A REPRO ). AUTO C-6 TRANSMISSION, NEW DRIVELINE, NEW FRONT COIL SPRINGS, NEW FRONT DISC ROTORS AND BEARINGS. WHEELS ARE FROM THE LATE 1960'S EARLY 1970'S BUT ARE NOT ORGINIAL TO CAR. HAS BIAS PLY TIRES. RECHROMED FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS, TAILIGHT HOUSINGS AND ALL TRIM EXCEPT FOR FRONT AND BACK WINDOW TRIM. WINDOWS ARE ORGINIAL WITH SOME SCRATCHES, BUT NOT BAD. NEW DOOR HANDLES AND ROCKER TRIM. NEW BRAKE LINES AND FUEL LINES, NEW FUEL TANK. INTERIOR HAS NEW UPHOLSTERED FRONT SEATS, REAR SEATS, DOOR PANELS AND QUARTER PANELS WERE DYED BLACK. WAS ORGINIALLY BLUE. NEW CARPET PACKAGE TRAY AND SAIL PANELS. ALL GAUGES WORK. NEW EXHAUST FROM ENGINE BACK. THE PAINT IS IN GREAT CONDITION WITH A FEW CHIPS AND SCRATCHES. I HAVE A KEVIN MARTI REPORT AND BUILD SHEET ALSO. YOU MAY NOTICE THAT IT DOSEN'T HAVE A CLOCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THAT PANEL HAD SURFACE RUST SO BAD THAT I COULDN'T SAVE SO I REPLACED WITH A STANDARD PANEL AND HAD IT COVERED. AND YOU MAY ASK ABOUT THE SIDE STRIPES, I MADE IT TO MY LIKEING AND DID NOT PUT THE STRIPES DOWN THE SIDE AND PUT THE ELIMINATOR AND 428 ON THE FENDERS.

HISTORY OF THE CAR GOES LIKE THIS:

BOUGHT CAR ON EBAY, TAKING THE OWNERS WORD FOR IT AS A RUST FREE CAR. WHEN IT ARRIVED I INSPECTED IT THE FLOORPAN WAS COMPLETELY GONE, ALL ENGINE APRONS RUSTED, FRONT PASSINGER DOOR RUSTED ON BOTTOM, FRONT FENDERS NEEDED REPAIR AND REAR QUARTERS NEEDED ATTENTION.

HAD A PROFESSIONAL BODY SHOP REPLACE AND FIX ALL THE RUST.

I HAD A 1 PEICE FLOORPAN INSTALLED, FOUND 2 1969 FRONT FENDERS TO USE AND FIXED THE REAR QUARTERS, LOCATED A 1969 PASS.DOOR AND INSTALLED, REPLACED ALL ENGINE APRONS.

AS ALOT OF YOU KNOW WHEN RESTORING THESE KINDS OF CARS YOU CAN QUICKLY GET MORE MONEY INTO IT THAN IT IS WORTH.

SO, TO STOP THE BLEEDING THERE ARE STILL A FEW THINGS THAT THE NEW OWNER WILL NEED TO ADDRESS:

THE DRIVER DOOR MIRROR WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE CABLES ARE BROKEN

THE RIM STYLE STEERING WHEEL HORN WILL NEED TO BE FIXED

THE BACKUP LIGHTS AREN'T WORKING

AND THE RADIO IS THERE BUT DOESN'T WORK.

I HAVE PUT ON A FAIR RESERVE, BUT I'M WILLING TO TAKE A 1967/8 MUSTANG FASTBACK ON TRADE. PLEASE NO RUST BUCKETS.

AS WITH MOST SALES AS IS WHERE IS.

IF YOU WANT ANY PICTURES OF A CERTAIN SPOT OR SIDE LET ME KNOW AND I'LL TRY TO GET THEM TO YOU.

THANKS

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America

Wed, May 27 2015

Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

Four minor accidents and no injuries are attributed to one of these conditions.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
