Here’s a 1969 Cougar XR7 Conv Project car rustfree from Nevada. Was going to make this a Restomod out of it. Didn’t care how complete it was.You must HAVE a good foundation for a good car. The owner started to restore this by taking it apart and then pass on. As you know these First year 1969 Cougar Conv have been taking off in value in recent years. This is being sold as a basic shell--No motor --trans interior and misc. This is perfect for a replacement body for your damage --rusted out car to be replaced. This would be cheaper to build. Make the car your own. LETS DO THE MATH….to replace floors in a 1969 Mustang or Cougar your average cost is 3000.00. Quarter panels brought used off a western car Dealer would run about 800-1000 per side not including shipping 500-750 each side or together 1200. Buying the repo’s 1/4s run 400.00 ea plus 100.00 per side or yours for 500.00 each side. . Now the tricking part is ... trying to find a good body shop to replace it for you --800-1000 per side and on time with a good job ?? And that’s not all the another things also.. SO.. Your far ahead of the game just getting one that doesn’t need so much work. If you have one .Rusted out body...it would still be cheaper to get a rust free body to start with. Look at the Marti report this was a fully loaded car! One YEAR color in Copper/White interior One of 74 XR7 Conv built code--with PS PB PW AC Stereo. Condition--Rust free body Nevada straight body --You Do Not have you replace panels or floors. I see no patches….Paint is terrible-peeling -faded-scratched -some bondo here and their-dents--pass 1/4 was sideswiped at one time and was full of bondo….it was replaced with a Brand New repo one--nice job !! Interior is missing--except dash and rear seat--also some wiring--floors are nice with minor pitting in spot or two--I see only a couple minor pin holes--windshield is cracked.. same as dash pad--Desert cars get their interiors burnt up and one repaint faded paint job.

Ford recalls 600,000 older-model sedans for braking issue

Fri, Dec 20 2019

Ford 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.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

The AM37 is literally the Aston Martin of boats

Wed, Sep 28 2016

While sports car companies such as Porsche and Lamborghini are looking to SUVs to expand their offerings, Aston Martin has taken a page from Mercedes and designed a boat. Specifically, it's a 37-foot powerboat appropriately named the AM37. The boat was developed with help from Mulder Design and Quintessence Yachts, and is available in two different versions, both of which should the aquatic equivalent of Aston Martin performance. The standard AM37 is available with two different pairs of engines from Mercury, either 370-horsepower diesel engines or 450-horsepower gas engines. If that's not enough, Aston also offers the AM37S, which comes with a pair of 520-horsepower gasoline Mercury engines. Like road-going Astons, this boat is absolutely gorgeous. The lines are simple, crisp and clean. It features a beautiful wood deck, and an impressive double-curved, single-piece glass windshield. And if you get tired of the sun, the AM37 features a powered, carbon fiber bimini top. The interior completes the package with a carbon fiber dashboard, lots of leather and polished steering wheel, throttle and joystick. It's also incredibly well-equipped with seating for eight, air conditioning, mood lighting, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, a bed that folds out from the table, and even a bathroom. Aston Martin didn't release pricing or availability for the AM37. However, we suspect that if you really want this boat and have the means, pricing doesn't matter, and you're probably willing to wait.
