I find any serious buyers will call and I encourage that. Basically the car is a great cruise night car with ice cold AC that sounds rides and drives great. Super smooth on the highway and the fun of a standard shift on back roads. Again please call for honest info Email call or text Vin nine seven eight 835 6009

The black paint I would rate really nice I have photos showing a couple imperfections

The car shows 90K but the motor has a nice cam in it and an Edelbrock manifold and carb the original carb manifold air cleaner and valve covers come with it the chrome dress up but I am not sure when it was done or what was done to the motor when they opened it up to put the cam in It does sound and run super It has power front discs and rear drums

New flowmaster exhaust with just the right muscle car sound.. New front end work The tires have approx 600 miles on them. The rally wheels have the correct Mercury insignia on the caps

The interior as you see looks very nice with just a few small blemishes here and there. All gauges work even the clock The AM Fm Radio works OK All power windows work but the rear drivers side has to be put up from the switch at the window itself The map light and courtesy light work There is a new custom carpet that comes with the car when installed it will compliment the interior quite nicely.

The exterior has no visible rust anywhere the undercarriage,frame,floor pans and trunk are rust free. The bumpers are clear of any pitty or rust at all

The top is in good shape except for the one area depicted in the photos Its something that could be lived with in top down weather and fixed or replaced at the new owners convienience Again I encourage questions or inspections from serious buyers All questions will be answered with complete honesty

The car is fore sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction if that happens

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Thu, 24 Feb 2011

Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
