This Cougar was purchased by my son and has been stored in my shop for 7 years. When he bought it he borrowed enough money from the bank to replace the bad engine with a new engine from O'Riley Auto Parts. It was proffesionaly installed by a local shop in business 40 years. It was my son's daily driver but he never got the ac fixed. When his son was born it was no longer a useful vehicle for him. I have purchased the car from him to help him out. I do not need the car and am just trying to recoup my funds. Photos show the left fender wrecked. he did that right after he put it on the road. He clipped a concrete pole at our local carwash. It can be repaired or I have found original fenders for a few hundred dollars. The motor probably does not have 10,000 miles on it and runs great. I drove it to town about 2 miles away and it sputtered on me because the carb. needs cleaning. Remember it sat up about 7 years. The hide away headlights work very well as does the rear sequential turn signals. This is a true XR7 and was born with a 351 Cleveland Engine. It has the Oriley 351 Cleveland engine in it now. It is a 4 barrel with nice sounding duell exhaust. Very nice after market wheels and the tires are like new. Also it has rear air shocks to help keep fenders off the rear tires. There is a aftermarket cd player in it but the original push button radio is still in place. It will need a paint job and a new vinyl top.Will need front seat covers and headliner has a couple small tears in it. The passenger side floor pan has a small rust hole in it but before we installed a new factory carpet we covered the hole with sheet metal. Photos show the rear lower 1/4 panel and door corners will need a patch panel. The rest of the car is very sound including the trunk and under the hood. The glass is all good but the driver door glass is off the track and won't roll up. I am selling it as is with no refunds. It is also offered for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. You may call my cell with any questions. 409-383-4750

NHTSA investigating Ford's solution to May 2014 power steering recall
Tue, Apr 7 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a complaint that Ford's response to a May 2014 recall of the 2008 to 2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner doesn't quite go far enough to solve a troubling power-steering problem. Roughly a year ago, Ford recalled nearly a million vehicles after it was found that a problem with the torque sensor's communication with the power steering control module could cut steering assistance for drivers. While manual steering would still be available, the problem was enough to ask drivers to report in to have the PSCM inspected, and if necessary, replaced (along with the torque sensor, or in dramatic cases, the entire steering column). That would only happen, though, if trouble codes were being thrown. If there weren't any problems, dealers were told to simply update the PSCM's software so that any issues between it and the torque sensor would simply throw a visual and audio warning – power steering would still be maintained. The petitioner claimed that following the recall work, he still experienced a problem with the torque sensor. According to NHTSA, a claim was made that Ford didn't go far enough in its solution to the problem, and that "the software update itself may in fact cause further issues with the affected vehicle's power steering, causing it to fail, and ultimately requiring replacement of the torque sensor or entire steering column." The petition was filed in early February and is now officially being looked into by NHTSA.
Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?
Fri, May 27 2016When 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.

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.
