This 69 Cougar was being built to go on the power tour in 2013, all of the drivetrain was gone through and it was converted from a automatic to a 5-speed at this time. This cougar runs great and drives great, when shifting into 3rd it will sometimes grind, I think it is an adjustment issue for the clutch cable but it could be the trans. if you make sure the pedal is all the way to the floor it doesn't grind. The front suspension was rebuilt and subframe connectors were added. It has had new quarter panels installed, they are welded but the bodywork wasn't finished. The seats were redone and new carpet installed,new weatherstripping and headliner come with the car. It has a brand new dual exhaust system and also new 15 inch American Racing torque thrust wheels and tires.Center console is in good shape and it has a nice crack free rim blow steering wheel. New front spoiler and boss 429 style hood scoop. It has power steering and power disc brakes with a/c it may be a little low on Freon but it does work. This is a really nice driving car that just needs some body and paint work. It is very smooth and quiet,the exhaust has a nice mellow note to it but is not too loud.This cougar had a black vinyl top but the holes were welded up when the quarters were installed.All of the sheetmetal is in good shape,both doors will need small patches in the usual places but they are not big maybe 2inch by 4 inch.The headlight doors operate very well and will stay closed for a week if the car is left without being started.All of the trim that is not on the car is included and in the trunk as well as some extra stuff.

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.

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.

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday

Mon, 04 Oct 2010

Ford 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.
