1969 Mercury Cougar Xrt on 2040-cars
San Antonio, Texas, United States
|
This Cougar has been well cared for over the years so the original paint, top and interior look great. It is not a garage queen or a museum bound dust collector, it is a driver. The magazine article shown claims that this Cougar was also built by Shelby Mustang in Las Vegas and also claims it was one of the three Shelby Cougars that was in the James Bond movie "Her Majesty's Service". AT BEST I BELIEVE THIS CAR IS A CLONE OF THE REAL SHELBY COUGARS USED AT THE MOVIE. This1969 cougar 428 car is claimed to have been owned by Carroll Shelby but there is no documentation. The FE motor has been warmed over and includes aluminum Shelby valve covers and a rare ram air cleaner assembly. The engine is coupled to a C6 automatic transmission connected to the Ford nodular case 9 inch differential. The car was also been upgraded with Shelby’s sway bar's front and rear and a Shelby roll bar. The body still has the original factory candy apple red paint job. Special features include a large hood scoop, an air dam and a rear spoiler. The Cougar also has Cobra insignias and Shelby wheels. With the original white convertible top up you can enjoy the air conditioning, power steering, power windows and power brakes. In the article about the Cougar, the previous order claimed the authenticity of the Cougar when Carroll Shelby signed the dash and spent time with the previous order. One way or another this Cougar Cobra Jet “tribute” car is fun to own and drive and gives you many stories to tell at your next outing. |

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.
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.
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.
