This car is one of the best driving and looking not to mention fun cougars that I have ever owned, and in the last 30 plus years have had a bunch. The car is about 99.8 percent rust free, has one spot half the size of the end of your pinkie finger under paint at drivers bottom door corner and three bubbles same size under paint on pass. side bottom behind rear wheel, that's it,,,, car is fantastic,,,, The body is fantastic and the interior is like new,,,, head liner and vynol top are about two years old and are great,, The outside and inside of this car are almost like new for the year,, The inside has NO !! holes, tears or rips,,, NONE !!! All outside and inside lights work, even trunk and glove box light (clock and clock light don't work),,, All gauges work except the factory tach, it works but not correctly so added a 8000 rpm tach to steering column, and yes the factory RIM BLOW HORN WORKS !!!!!!!! Car was a factory 3-Speed manual but was changed to a Tremec TKO 5-speed, Work was done right,,, shifts perfect with NO vibration in drive train,, and I MEAN NONE !!! The rear end was changed to a posi rear end, NO winds or howls,,,,,, at 65 to 70 mph on freeway only tachs out at 2500 rpm so car is great for street or freeway and good on gas. Also has Wilwood racing disc brakes on front. This car is not a Barrett Jackson show car, not so much for condition but because of the salvage title, but this car is every bit as good as it looks and I think allot better, I know car was hit on drivers side quarter panel and one a-arm has been replaced, but could not have been hit hard and was repaired correctly,, looks fantastic and drives perfect,,,,, we all know how many old cars have had huge sections cut out because of rust and damage, some times put together from three or four diff cars but they still have a clear title,,, this car has none of that,,,!!!! This is the perfect driver and local car show car to win some trophies,,,, so with the condition and the way it drives unless you are taking it to Barrett Jackson Auction the title shouldn't matter,, and yes you can get classic car insurance like Hagerty or other companies except AAA, they won't do classic insurance on salvage title. So I don't want to hear anything about the title,,,, car is worth every penny I'm asking and more,,,,,,, just take a look at factory stick shifts on eBay and Craigslist and other sites to see what they sell for especially one in this condition if you can even find one this nice,,,, I welcome inspections,,, take a look or bring your mechanic to check it out,, car has NO mechanical problems,,!!!!!!!! No over heating, no noises,,, drive train is perfect,,, Remember this is a fantastic car but is used so is sold AS-IS ,,,,,,, This is eBay so if you bid and win,, YOU OWN IT ,,,!!!!!! please ask all questions before you bid,,,!!!!! Also the lic plates are personal plates and unless car gets at least $500.00 over reserve or is sold to out of state bidder I'm keeping the plates,,,, call, message or text me with any questions and I will do my best to honestly answer your questions,, all answers will be very honest, not lies or stretching the truth,,,, I value my feed back,,,,, number is 562-274-5637 Best time to call is between 5:30 and 11:00 Monday thru Friday and anytime on weekends, if can't answer phone please leave a message and will return it as soon as possible. Good luck and happy bidding ,,,,,,,

Bugatti 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.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Ford 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.

NHTSA investigating Ford's solution to May 2014 power steering recall

Tue, Apr 7 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a complaint that Ford's response to a May 2014 recall of the 2008 to 2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner doesn't quite go far enough to solve a troubling power-steering problem. Roughly a year ago, Ford recalled nearly a million vehicles after it was found that a problem with the torque sensor's communication with the power steering control module could cut steering assistance for drivers. While manual steering would still be available, the problem was enough to ask drivers to report in to have the PSCM inspected, and if necessary, replaced (along with the torque sensor, or in dramatic cases, the entire steering column). That would only happen, though, if trouble codes were being thrown. If there weren't any problems, dealers were told to simply update the PSCM's software so that any issues between it and the torque sensor would simply throw a visual and audio warning – power steering would still be maintained. The petitioner claimed that following the recall work, he still experienced a problem with the torque sensor. According to NHTSA, a claim was made that Ford didn't go far enough in its solution to the problem, and that "the software update itself may in fact cause further issues with the affected vehicle's power steering, causing it to fail, and ultimately requiring replacement of the torque sensor or entire steering column." The petition was filed in early February and is now officially being looked into by NHTSA.
