This car comes with the original owners manual showing all service records from June 6, 1968 up to it's 24,000 mile check up. Was in storage for over 15 years before being completely nut and bolt rotissorie restored. This beauty has been professionally restored to show quality. This is NOT a "20 footer". The entire restoration was photo documented and no expense was spared. The body is lazer straight. The paint is House of Kolor Kameleon (color shifts and changes multiple different colors) and is as smooth as glass. It has shaved door handles with remote keyless entry. All body lines are perfect and the doors close like a new car. The bumpers are painted and bolts have been shaved. Flat Black front and rear spoilers have been added for an aggressive look.

Dynamat insulation has been installed under the carpet for a quiet ride. Car comes with a Marti Report. Far too many new parts to list! Original intake and carb are included in the sale and come with the car. Booster has a vacuum leak and requires a little extra pedal effort other than that she is spectacular and show ready. This car is a great investment. You could not build it for this price. If your looking for something different that no one else has, this is it! Email questions. This car is restored but still 45 years old, so is being sold as-is and can be inspected at any time. Shipping is the buyers responsibility. Car is being sold locally so I reserve the right to end auction early. I am open to "Buy It Now" offers.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack
Sat, May 30 2015With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.
