1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator Clone Convertible on 2040-cars
Calgary, Alberta, Canada
|
1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator Clone Convertible. This car is being sold as a Restoration project. Original 351W, FMX trans, dual exhaust. Motor was rebuilt and runs. Car hasn't been driven in 20 years. Front and rear spoilers, and the bold hood scoop with the Eliminator striping kit. Previous owner replaced floor pans, both quarters and fenders at one time, but used the original doors. They didn't make aftermarket quarter panels back then, so most likely these were original FoMoCo quarter panels that were used. Quarters look good as do the front fenders. Previous owner did a hatchet job cleanup on the doors and appears to have sprayed bombed and bondo'd the door corners. Overall the doors do look very good and are hard to find used.
Complete interior. AM/FM radio is included but unconnected and no speakers in dash or door panel slots.The carpet is new and the front bucket seats were reupholstered. The original dash pad is in very nice shape, and I couldn't find any cracks anywhere.There is a matching set of four P225/70SR14 inch Grand Prix Radial G/T raised white lettered tires mounted on Magnum 500 wheels. Brakes are not in working order but I am going to attempt to repair. Missing all mirrors and headlight vacuum switch. The trunk also has the factory styled trunk mat t from Ken's Cougars and a full size Magnum 500 spare with an original jack and crow bar. The trunk floor in good condition however the drivers side torque boxes and frame rails are poor. Paint is a 10 footer and is chipped and faded. Front bumper is in need of re-chrome. This is being sold as a restoration car or for parts, not safely drive-able at present. I will answer any questions you have honestly and truthfully unlike some sellers on this site. I will assist with shipping anywhere |

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls
Tue, 04 Nov 2014
Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners 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.
