1974 Mercury Cougar Xr-7 Hardtop 2-door 7.5l on 2040-cars
Gastonia, North Carolina, United States

1974 Cougar XR-7. This car is one of one of the 92,670 Cougars
sold in 74. I have a Marti Report that I purchased last year. I just don't have time for the
car and my extra money if any goes to a couple of other cars I have. This car came
with all the reg options plus a Factory 460 4BBL Engine with C-6 and 3:25 Posi.
It also has Tilt, Cruise, Power Everything including Seats, Windows, Door Locks,
has Factory Tach, Gauge Package instead of lights, Clock, AM FM Stereo with 8
Track Tape Deck, Delayed Wipers, Rear Window Defrost, and Trailer Tow Package
Class II. Need to sell as it is getting a lot of Rust Problems in the lower doors and quarters. I rebuilt the
Engine years ago just before I parked it with New Pistons and the whole 9 yards
so to speak. The block had no wear so I was able to keep it standard but still
put in new pistons. The block must be a High Nickel Truck Block due to the Tow
Package to have Zero Wear with around 126,000 miles or more. Would like to sell
for $2,500. just so I don't have to crush a One of One Car with a Rebuilt 460. I
have too many engines now and no room. I have about 30 engines and other parts.
It is a deal. You can't pull the engine, do a professional rebuild and reinstall the engine for less than $5,000. The car also has Black Leather interior although it needs new
front covers. Mike. 704-516-8033. Another Donor Car from 1974 to 1976 Cougars, Montego, or Gran Torino Elite parts work. This would make a nice awesome car. Plus if you have a Street Strip or all out Drag Car you can use this Trailer Tow Package Cougar as the Tow Vehicle to Haul your Drag Cougar or other car to the track. Due to the car sitting for so long I cannot warranty anything about the car. I did however remove the gas tankseveral years ago, flush it and the fuel lines, rebuild the carb and with new gas the engine fired up without any problems at all. Call with any questions. Mike, 704-516-8033.

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
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.

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.
