This is a real Cobra Jet Q code 4 speed 1972 Cougar.
One of 877 with the equipped with the Cobra Jet package, 156 of which had 4 speeds. Original Engine, Original 4 Speed, Original Styled Steel Wheels. As you can see from the Elite Marti Report - this is the only car ever optioned in this manner - a True One of One car. This car does not drive well - it drives Fantastic! Starts, stops, turns - GOES. Running through the gears on this car is about the most fun you can have. This car does have significant damage to the rear on the drivers side that will have to be addressed upon restoration. However it is purely cosmetic, it does not effect the driveability of the vehicle (although I would be careful about placing smaller items that roll around in the trunk). The car - originally gold - has been painted a sharp black color - I get a two word reaction to the blacked out bumper and grille treatment - "Way Cool". These photographs were taken 3 hours ago, after I took them I noticed the front tire on the drivers side had gone nearly flat (it was OK yesterday). I am selling this car based on that tire being repaired or replaced this week before the sale is finalized. If you are looking for a rare, cool car that drives beautifully today and can be restored to perfection at the time of your choosing - you should consider purchasing this vehicle. After the first time you take it for a drive, I am confident you will be quite pleased with your purchase. Detailed questions regarding the car's condition can be directed to my mechanic Rick, ricksmithpontiac@gmail.com, 443-375-7026. |

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.
Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
