1969 Mercury Cougar Convertible
Here's a creme puff of a car. A one owner Southern California totally rust free driver. This car has only had one owner. A little old lady named Beverly bought this car new. The car has been tuned up, checked for safety, road tested and is ready to go to a new owner to take it to the next level. This car won't need much. It drives straight and true down the road. It has been detailed and left alone. I even left her bumper stickers and custom license plate frame on the car. This car will need tires soon. They are cracked from the warm Southern California weather. It was optioned with the stout 351- 2 barrel engine. One of the neat features of this car are the functioning rear cougar specific rear blinkers, they have been checked and do function correctly. The headlight doors also function as they should. This is also an A/C car even though it is a convertible. The A/C has not been serviced but is holding pressure. It does not blow cold. Once serviced it will be nice to have on those extra hot days. The rim blow wheel is not functioning at this time but is crack free as is the dash pad, all in great shape. This car has been garaged its entire life. The carpet is faded a little. The driver seat has a 5 inch tear in the seam that has been glued down. Besides that it is in excellent, supple shape. The top is also in great shape, no tears. The rear glass is also in tact. This car is 100% rust free. This Cougar does look great and is a rust free specimen. It was driven with joy and pride (per the plate) and does have chips, nicks and bruises here and there. It can be enjoyed as is or taken up a notch. Its the new owners call. She is only untouched and original once. This Cougar is being sold as is and no reserve. Bid to win and ask all questions. Thanks and good luck!! |

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.

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
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.
