This is an original numbers matching car. I have the Marti report on her and she is one of 21 cars built with the options she has. She was born in Michigan, was sold in a dealership in Atlanta and spend most of its life in California where I bought her from 18 months ago.

This cat purrrrs with only 72,000 original miles on her. The 351 Windsor engine and FMX transmission and Eliminator heavy duty suspension were rebuilt by the prior owner. Car was originally white but when restored was painted with care to the beautiful bright blue you see today. I believe it’s called competition blue. She is an original A/C car and I just redid the A/C with all new components at the cost of $3,000. I have a thick file of receipts totaling $22,000.00 NOT INCLUDING COST OF CAR! For you Cougar enthusiasts this is a rare car and the one to own!

Amazing condition, this is an all metal car NO BONDO. New top and rebuilt power top motor operate perfectly. She has functional working hide-away headlights and sequential tail lights. I just replaced the actuators on headlights. Speedo, gas gauges, windshield wipers, stereo, dashboard lights, door lights, reverse lights and even the cigarette lighter work! Has the rare Rimblo steering wheel and eliminator suspension. Just did a wheel alignment and put on 2 new tires. Drives and runs excellent.This is one of the best 69's you will find out there.  

ENGINE- REBUITMatching Numbers 351 CI & WAS FULLY REBUILT (LESS THAN 600 MI ) and Matching Numbers FMX TRANSMISSION  WHICH PROVIDES THIS RIDE WITH MORE THAN ENOUGH POWER FOR THIS DAILY DRIVER AND IS EXCELLENT ON THE HIGHWAY. GEARS ARE ORIGINAL AND PERFECT FOR HIGHWAY DRIVING OR CRUISING AROUND TOWN. THE CAR HAS POWER STEERING & NEW DUAL EXHAUST. THERE IS A NEW BATTERY AS WELL AS A REBUILT STARTER. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.

INTERIOR- THE INSIDE IS IN GREAT CONDITION WITH NEW CARPETING AND THE RARE / EXPENSIVE RIMBLO STEERING WHEEL FINISH OFF THE INTERIOR. ORIGINAL STEREO SYSTEM IS INSTALLED AND WORKING WITH NEW SPEAKERS. NEEDS SOUND RESISTOR

ELECTRONICS-  HEADLIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, WIPERS, GAS GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, INTERIOR LIGHTS, REVERSE LIGHTS & CIGARETTE LIGHTER WORK. Original STEREO SYSTEM & NEW RFID STARTER KILL.HORN IS NOT HOOKED UP. ORIGINAL A/C CAR THAT IS WORKING PERFECTLY WITH NEW CONDENSER, COMPRESSOR, POA VALVE ETC

RIMS & TIRES- THE CAR HAS NICE SETS OF STOCK RIMS.

EXTERIOR- BEAUTIFUL NEW COMPETITION BLUE PAINT JOB W BLACK HOOD SCOOP AND ELIMINATOR TAIL-FIN. NEW TOP AND POWER TOP MOTOR INSTALLED AS WELL. CHROME IS IN GREAT SHAPE BUT NOT PERFECT. GLASS IS GREAT TOO JUST NEEDS SLIGHT ALIGNMENT.

KEEP IN MIND THE CAR IS 42 YRS OLD AND ALTHOUGH BEAUTIFUL SHE IS BEING SOLD AS-IS WITH NO WARRANTY. I ALWAYS SUGGEST COMING TO SEE THE CAR IF POSSIBLE.

SHIPPING- Cost and coordination is responsibility of the buyer. I am happy to assist where and how I can and even happy to refer guys I have used to transport but again all cost and responsibility is buyers.

Lastly I might not be a high volume Ebay member but I have perfect feedback for a reason. I don't do wrong by anyone! If you are a scammer please move on. I will allow for international buyers but cash or a wire must clear before pick up. I do have another car for sale but I am NOT a broker. Just letting go of of some of my toys. I am not hurting for cash nor am I in a rush. Not interested ina trade for a motorcycle or a boat!

Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls

Tue, 04 Nov 2014



Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.

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.
