This car is one of the best driving and looking not to mention fun cougars that I have ever owned, and in the last 30 plus years have had a bunch. The car is about 99.8 percent rust free, has one spot half the size of the end of your pinkie finger under paint at drivers bottom door corner and three bubbles same size under paint on pass. side bottom behind rear wheel, that's it,,,, car is fantastic,,,, The body is fantastic and the interior is like new,,,, head liner and vynol top are about two years old and are great,, The outside and inside of this car are almost like new for the year,, The inside has NO !! holes, tears or rips,,, NONE !!! All outside and inside lights work, even trunk and glove box light (clock and clock light don't work),,, All gauges work except the factory tach, it works but not correctly so added a 8000 rpm tach to steering column, and yes the factory RIM BLOW HORN WORKS !!!!!!!! Car was a factory 3-Speed manual but was changed to a Tremec TKO 5-speed, Work was done right,,, shifts perfect with NO vibration in drive train,, and I MEAN NONE !!! The rear end was changed to a posi rear end, NO winds or howls,,,,,, at 65 to 70 mph on freeway only tachs out at 2500 rpm so car is great for street or freeway and good on gas. Also has Wilwood racing disc brakes on front. This car is not a Barrett Jackson show car, not so much for condition but because of the salvage title, but this car is every bit as good as it looks and I think allot better, I know car was hit on drivers side quarter panel and one a-arm has been replaced, but could not have been hit hard and was repaired correctly,, looks fantastic and drives perfect,,,,, we all know how many old cars have had huge sections cut out because of rust and damage, some times put together from three or four diff cars but they still have a clear title,,, this car has none of that,,,!!!! This is the perfect driver and local car show car to win some trophies,,,, so with the condition and the way it drives unless you are taking it to Barrett Jackson Auction the title shouldn't matter,, and yes you can get classic car insurance like Hagerty or other companies except AAA, they won't do classic insurance on salvage title. So I don't want to hear anything about the title,,,, car is worth every penny I'm asking and more,,,,,,, just take a look at factory stick shifts on eBay and Craigslist and other sites to see what they sell for especially one in this condition if you can even find one this nice,,,, I welcome inspections,,, take a look or bring your mechanic to check it out,, car has NO mechanical problems,,!!!!!!!! No over heating, no noises,,, drive train is perfect,,, Remember this is a fantastic car but is used so is sold AS-IS ,,,,,,, This is eBay so if you bid and win,, YOU OWN IT ,,,!!!!!! please ask all questions before you bid,,,!!!!! Also the lic plates are personal plates and unless car gets at least $500.00 over reserve or is sold to out of state bidder I'm keeping the plates,,,, call, message or text me with any questions and I will do my best to honestly answer your questions,, all answers will be very honest, not lies or stretching the truth,,,, I value my feed back,,,,, number is 562-274-5637 Best time to call is between 5:30 and 11:00 Monday thru Friday and anytime on weekends, if can't answer phone please leave a message and will return it as soon as possible. Good luck and happy bidding ,,,,,,,

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

Junkyard Gem: 1970 Mercury Cougar

Tue, Oct 10 2017

The plot of the Mercury Cougar story took a lot of strange twists and turns during its 35 or so years, from ponycar to immense luxobarge to family sedan to station wagon to Integra competitor. Examples of the first Cougar generation are nearly extinct in American wrecking yards, so I was excited to spot this one in Denver. Lest you shed any tears over this car going to the crusher, know that it was suffering from the ravenous teeth of the Rust Monster long before it got here. The 1967-1970 Cougar was based on the Mustang platform of the same era, and so it was a sleeker and quicker cat than its successors. Still, the longer wheelbase, extra equipment and all the cool-looking bodywork added some heft; the 1970 Mustang hardtop with V8 scaled in at 2,923 pounds, while the 1970 Cougar weighed 3,307 pounds. The current Ford Focus would fit just between those two weights. There was also a mid-cycle refresh in that era, with the '67-'68 and '69-'70 having different exterior styling and interiors. The '69 and '70 had different front end styling as well, with the latter re-adopting the vertical grille slats featured on the earlier model years. The '69 has horizontal slats. The drivetrain and just about everything else of value has been shorn from this car, perhaps before it arrived in this yard. In 1970, a bewildering assortment of V8 engines was available in the Cougar, including a Boss 302, two completely different 351s, and a 335-horse Cobra Jet 428. The base engine was a 351 Windsor making 250 gross horsepower. Since car rooftops mostly don't rust, why would someone cut out this one? Sheet metal needed for patching a leaky shed roof, perhaps? This 2005-2006 Denver Nuggets window sticker indicates that the car was on the street (probably) as recently as 11 years ago. This content is hosted by a third party.
