Charleston, South Carolina, United States

1969 Mercury Cougar (Eliminator Model Tribute) Somehow Steppenwolf singing “Get your motor runnin' Head out on the highway…” sounds better on a radio from 1969. You’re going to have a blast in this beautifully restored Mercury Cougar, because now is the right time for you to get the car you’ve wanted for a long time. This Cougar is not an actual Eliminator, but it’s just as badass. It has the original equipment as the Eliminator; from the working ram air cowl and dashboard with tach and clock on the glove compartment, to the overhauled 302 engine. Lots of original equipment; like the spoilers, front and back, the wheels and suspension are original too. Even the pristine leather interior was restored to original specs. Remember those hidden headlights with flip up lids and the sequential tail lights? She’s got ‘em. It also has high performance parts like the water pump, aluminum radiator and suspension bars. This is a trophy winner with the rumble of the custom exhaust and ceramic headers to the Mercury Orange urethane paint that was restored down to bare metal. I’ve only had this clean Texas car for 2 years and can’t bare to part with it, but I don’t have the time to get her on the road as much as she deserves. Note: The carb runs but could use a rebuild or replacement, the RPM tach is not currently working. Newly installed rebuilt piston power steering system has minor hydraulic leak. Exterior: 3 stage urethane Paint Body additions: matte black front splitter and ram air scoop and rear wing Head lights, tail lights (working lids, sequential) tires: New Cobra Radial GT with less then 1,000 miles Original Cougar Eliminator wheels Interior: Dash has no cracks and full instrument panel with tick tock dash Instrument light and interior lights all work White and black leather seats in great condition and well cared for. Carpet is in immaculate condition with no stains and very little wear Roof headliner is in amazing condition, no stains and looks great Engine: (engine compartment) 302 V-8 High performance water pump Aluminum radiator Ceramic headers Custom exhaust (Loud and sounds great) Other: Newly installed rebuilt power steering pump (minor leak) New breaks rotors and brake pads as well as new brake lines.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It'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.
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
