I Have a getting hard to find 1967 cougar that I bought to restore but now have other project to do and no time to put on this one. I bought this from a person that had put a lot of money in the motor it has a 302 bored 40 over with a big cam and it also has aluminum JEGS heads on it witch are around a $1000 by them self. It however has been in a Garage for 7 years I took it home on a trailer and got it running and it does have some power but it seems the it has a main bearing Knocking or wrist pins ??? don't no much about motors or the car other then the little bit they knew the motor I was told has less then 3500 miles on it. I had two mechanics tell me it was the risk pins and one tell me it was the main we did drop the oil pan and all rods seem to be fine. Other then the noise when it warms up this car has a lot of power and runs pretty fair but could use some carb work but runs good after warmed up so not bad for sitting that long. But it is a restore project for sure. All lights work but has a lot of wire splices in it. the head light lids don't open by them self but i see the air lines going to them are not even hooked up and looked to be a little rotten. Not much rust from what i can see it does look like it has had some body work done last time it was fixed up but not sure what. The body looks pretty straight there is some spots in the trunk that have rusted threw but they are small. it has air shocks on back and traction bars i think under the back with a posi rear-end. I was told it was built to race however the car looks to be all there other then the center column is gone and replaced with race shifter also is missing some dash parts like glove box and radio and dash cover is in bad shape all glass is good the back driver side widow seems to be off the track. Their are no locks in this car also you have to flip a toggle switch on then turn the key to make it start.. so unless you no that it will turn over but not start until you flip that on. should be a easy fix i put the new ignition switch in it but i think their is a wire that need to be hooked back up for the key to do all the work again ???.
I am not going to say this car is perfect but they are worth the money and time if you have it to fix them up this one is in pretty good shape yet and can be driven. blinkers also work
well that is all i no about it.
Happy bidding

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 recalls 600,000 older-model sedans for braking issue
Fri, Dec 20 2019Ford is recalling 600,166 older-model Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles over an issue that could affect braking and increase the risk of a crash. The safety recall covers certain Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ sedans from the 2006 through 2010 model years that were built at Ford’s Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico between Feb. 22, 2006, and July 15, 2009. Ford says a valve that is normally closed inside the hydraulic control unit may get stuck in the open position or be slow to close, which could make it harder to engage the brakes and increase risk of a crash. Ford says itÂ’s aware of 15 reports of accidents and two injuries possibly related to the issue. Dealers will inspect the hydraulic control unit for signs of the problem and replace it, if necessary. The dealers will pressure-flush the system with brake fluid and replace the reservoir cap with a new one. Ford is also issuing a small recall of 33 of its 2020 F-150 trucks in the U.S. and 51 in Canada over potentially damaged spare tires. It says the bead area on the tires may have been damaged when it was mounted onto the wheel assembly, leaving it vulnerable to corrosion, separation of the bead wire and ultimately a rapid loss of air pressure and detachment from the wheel. Dealers will replace the spare tire. Affected vehicles were built at the Dearborn Truck Plant from Nov. 10-21 of this year.
Watch as an out-of-control car demolishes gas pump
Tue, May 2 2017A Baltimore area man was fighting for his life Tuesday after crashing his car into a gas station. According to WBAL, the unidentified 64-year-old lost control of his vehicle for unknown reasons around 4:55 a.m. May 1 in Parkville, Md. The 2007 Mercury Milan careened downhill, ramped over a curb, and smashed full-speed into a gas station pump. The car then flipped and came to rest against one of the station's canopy support pillars. Don Karbowniczek, owner of a service station across the street, told WBAL he was shocked there wasn't more damage. It's also surprising that the car even made it to the pumps, as it had to thread past a coin-op vacuum machine, the station's sign, a utility pole, and a traffic light pole. "It came right through, took some of our bushes out, just trimmed them for us, and how it got through and flip the way it did, I don't know. From what I see on the marks, it had to go airborne and just come down on the pump," Karbowniczek said. Thankfully there was no fire or explosion. Gas pumps have shear valves - safety devices that immediately cut the flow of gasoline when a pump is damaged. The driver was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, and was in critical condition. Police theorized the driver may have become stricken with a health issue when he lost control.
