UP FOR BIDS IS A 1968 COUGAR MANUAL WITH T5 4 SPEED. I STARTED RESTORATION AND WAS DISASSEMBLED FOR PAINTING,THE ORIGINAL 302 WAS STOLEN WHILE THE ENGINE BAY WAS DRYING SO I LOOKED FOR SAME ENGINE BUT COULD NOT FIND A TRUE MANUAL ENGINE,ALL THE 302 I FOUND WERE EITHER FROM AN AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL FROM A TRUCK, I FOUND A 1970 COUGAR WITH ORIGINAL 351 WINDSOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR SO I INSTALLED IT AND DROVE IT. BEFORE THE PAINTING,THE BODY HAS SURFACE RUST AND WAS SANDED AND PRIMED. I NEVER FINISHED INSTALLING THE NEW HEADLINER,THE CARPET IS DECENT, THE UPHOLSTERY NEEDED REPAIR DUE TO SOME IDIOT PUTTING HEAVY SHARP PARTS ON TOP OF THE SEATS AND RIPPING THEM,INSTALLED A NEW REAR VALANCE BECAUSE THE OLD ONE WAS STOLEN AS WELL,THE BUMPERS ARE DRIVER QUALITY,NOT RUSTED. I STRIPPED THE TRUNK FLOOR AND SPRAYED WITH BEDLINER.THIS WAS AN ORIGINAL BABY BLUE CAR. THE WHEELS ARE SLOTTED MAGS CORRECT ERA OPTION AND BRAND NEW TIRES. HAS LONG TUBE HEADERS AND CHERRY BOMB PIPES. I HAVE STARTED THE CAR HERE AND THERE AND MAY NEED TUNE UP, BASICALLY I JUST LOST INTEREST DUE TO STOLEN ORIGINAL PARTS LIKE THE DASH PANEL,THE EMBLEMS. THE TRIMS ARE COMPLETE THOUGH AND ,THE DASH PAD IS NICE ,TRANSMISSION HAS LESS THAN 1000 MILES IN THE REBUILD. THIS IS ONE OF THE RARE MUSCLE CARS, THERE ARE A LOT OF COUGARS OUT THERE BUT ARE EITHER AUTO OR 3 SPEED,THIS ONE IS A FACTORY 4 SPEED . GLASSES ARE GOOD. MAY NEED A SMALL PART HERE AND THERE BUT NOTHING MAJOR. R DOOD WAS SCRATCHED BUT I REALLY LOST INTEREST IN FIXING.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
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.
Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti 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.
