There are several pluses and minusus with this car. The negatives---the ugly color someone painted it years ago. There is rust in the floor. Nothing that would cause you to fall through while driving, but as can be expected with this car, it's there. A hole in the trunk floor as shown, the lower quarters have been patched at some point, there are patches in the floor boards. The wheels are horendously ugly !! The good?? It runs extremely strong, it can be driven anywhere, the top is like new. Whoever did the top did a beautiful job. Fits tight with no wrinkles. Almost looks like the top bows were powder coated. I have had this car for about six years. I moved it out of my garage to have some work done in the garage and it wouldn't start. Got frustrated, replaced some gas lines, installed a new battery, drained stale gas and replaced with fresh. Now I am ready to sell. Don't feel like going through same thing six years from now because I never use it and will never take the time to restore it. The interior is in really nice condition. Perfectly serviceable. The headlights are tired, so unless you prop them up at night, you'll be driving in the dark. I am starting this auction at a ridiculous price with no reserve after that. The winner will be getting a driveable 1970 convertible that looks decent. i even have the original manual where the dealer typed in the original owner's info. Sold at Devon Lincoln Mercury on 11/21/69 , Ann Arbor Michigan. Good luck.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Ford 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.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A 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.
