I am listing a 1968 Cougar XR-7 metallic gold with a black vinyl roof. With a 302 automatic 2 barrel carburetor with A/C Power steering and Power Brakes. I purchased the vehicle about 5 months ago off of Ebay. The gentleman advertised the car as no rust, which is correct. The floor pans and lower quarters have been replaced. The original color on the car was Nugget Gold (Code Y). The interior is the XR-7 Black Leather Bucket seats (Code 6A). The story behind the car as was told, it was purchased from a estate sale from the original owner. Was then stripped and repainted a high gloss (close to the original color metallic gold), paint job is immaculent The odometer is showing 13, 932 was also thought to be original miles on the vehicle. Which I can not guarentee. The car starts and runs, extremely well. Like all A/C systems from that time period needs a hose replaced and a proper charge on the system. Don't be fooled in to someone suggesting changing to 134a refrigerant when they have a drop in R12 replacement allowing you to use existing components. We are posting as many pictures as possible, and will be glad to answer any email questions aswell as provide additional pictures. We will be glad to assist in loading the vehicle. I have described this car to the best of my knowledge. I would probably invest in a master cylinder for the brakes, brakes seem to be holding up but seems a little weak. Also there is a small scratch above the XR-7 on the vinyl roof, looks to be a screwdriver mark when placing XR-7 Label, It would be a easy repair. I feel the car is excelent driver and for the money you definitely can't go wrong. Additional parts I assume removed from the car when undergoing new paint are included. I am listing the car locally and have the right to close auction early if needed, Thanks for your consideration.

*This vehicle is being sold AS-IS. No warrantee offered nor implied*

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

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.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri

Mon, Sep 19 2016

Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:
