Introduced in 1967, the Cougar was designed as an upmarket, luxury version of the wildly popular but slightly pedestrian, Ford Mustang. Based on the new-for-1967 Mustang, the Cougar had a three-inch longer wheelbase and all new sheetmetal, to give it a more European flavor. The old world styling extended to the interior as well, with a wood-grained dash, full gauge set and toggle switches in the top of the range XR7 model. The XR7 also featured an overhead console and a T-type shifter for the Merc-O-Matic automatic transmission. For 1968, the XR7 saw an upgrade from the base 289 cu.in. engine to the new, more powerful, 302. This came standard with a two-barrel carburetor but was also available in the even more powerful Super version, with a four-barrel. Offered here, is a gorgeous, two-owner, lifelong California car, featuring the extremely desirable XR7 package, the Super engine option and factory air-conditioning along with the best color scheme, Lime Frost Poly metallic paint and black vinyl roof. The freshly painted, rust-free body is in superb shape and the matching ivy gold and green interior looks terrific with a new dashboard pad and carpeting. The engine runs strong and smooth and the transmission shifts well. Steering and braking are equally good with new tyres all round. With tremendous visual appeal and performance to match, this extremely well-optioned car offers a great alternative to some of its more common peers. I can help with shipping anywhere in the world.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti 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.
Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.
