Up for sale is a 1970 Cougar Eliminator project car. It is am M code 351C 4 bbl with an automatic FMX transmission. It does not have many options other than power steering and a center console. Originally was a manual brake car, but previous owner converted to front disc brakes. Car comes with a Marti report and an Eminger invoice that verifies it as an Eliminator. It is a southern car with a 21 DSO(Atlanta). I have owned this car for over 10 years and have been restoring and collecting parts for it for as long. I have bought three cars just for parts to contribute to this one. There is way to much info to put down in this small space, so call me with any questions (256) 282-4055. Current State: Car is a rolling chassis, with engine and transmission removed, quarter windows and back glass removed, and interior removed. Recently had a professional replace floor pans. A lot of the parts have been restored and are in boxes. Car does have new upper and lower control arms and spring perches. Some of the parts worth noting are: -- rechromed bumpers front and rear with restored bumper brackets -- rechromed rear turn signal assemblies with restored lenses -- rechromed quarter window moldings -- rebuilt dash, upper and lower, with all camera case trim present, new headlight switch, nice dashpad, correct working am radio w/ new surround bezel -- restored turn signal assemblies -- restored side marker assemblies -- correct 70 sport mirrors, right and left -- nice decklid trim and blackout stripe kit -- nice, possibly NOS, exterior door handle assemblies -- nice center console -- new KYB shocks front and rear --- all Eliminator correct parts, camera case dash, hood scoop, rear spoiler with support brackets, walking cat fuel door, etc Driveline: Original engine and transmission were gone when I bought the car. Does have a 351C and FMX that have supposedly been rebuilt and have 3000 miles on them, but can not document. Engine has 2bbl heads on it now, but I have a rebuilt set of closed chamber heads and factory cast iron intake to go with it. Exhaust manifolds have been blasted and painted with Eastwood cast iron high temp paint and heat cured. Have a nice rebuilt automatic shifter with lock out rod. I do not have the automatic kick down rod. Driveshaft has yet to be touched, but is there. Rear end is a 3.25 open , if it is the same it is built with. Have not done anything to the rear axle. I do have the correct air cleaner, heat shield and S tube. It presently has a set of 69 GT wheels on it. Sheet metal: Have gone through three different cats and picked the best sheet metal for the Eliminator. Very nice doors and fenders and decklid, and hood. The right rear quarter has a wave near the body line and was recommended it be replaced. The left quarter has some filler in front of the wheel well from previous damage. I have a right rear quarter that comes with the car. Floor pans have been replaced. Torque boxes, trunk drop-offs, aprons. rockers,cowl, roof, frame rails, shock towers, all are solid. The left torque box does have one small piece of the vertical area, where the parking brake cable goes through, that has some rust, but structurally solid. The battery apron was replaced by previous owner. Has nice stone shield, front and rear valance. Interior: Car originally came with standard black interior. I do have a used set of standard door panels and rear quarter panels. They are far from perfect, but not junk either. Nice center console. No carpet, headliner or weatherstrip. I do have repop sail panels and package tray. Seat belts are all there, but need restoring. Seats upholstery is older, possibly original, but is ok without any rips or tears. Parts I know that will be needed that I do not have: ---- Carpet, weatherstripping, brake lines(may have some used ones),fuel lines, nuts and bolts and various hardware, exhaust system with h pipe, etc. Everything Else; There is a lot that I have not mentioned, not on purpose, but because there is so much information in my brain on this car because I have owned it so long. If you have any interest in this vehicle, it would be best to call me at (256)282-4055. Best time to call would be during the day, 8-5.It is easier for me to tell you about the car than to type about it. This car is registered in Alabama, where there are no titles on vehicles prior to 1975. This car does not have a title. Buyer will receive a written bill of sale and a copy of the registration. Car to be picked up in Anniston, Alabama in a reasonable amount of time, no marathons. Prefer that potential buyer preview car in person, if at all possible. |

The 1965 Ford Mustang could have looked a lot different
Fri, May 8 2020The 1965 Ford Mustang is unquestionably an automotive design icon, and nearly every generation of Mustang has some connection to that original car. Because it's such a universally-known vehicle, we were amazed to see all the different designs that were being considered. Head of Ford's archives Ted Ryan recently shared photos of design proposals for the original Mustang on Twitter that he and Jamie Myler found, and we reached out to them to find out more. As Ryan initially noted, the photos were taken on August 19, 1962, and they are proposals for the Ford Mustang. Apparently Ford had committed to doing a Falcon-based youth-oriented car at this point, and it did have plans to launch the car in 1964 for the 1965 model year. But after having little success with early design proposals, the company asked all of its design studios — the Advanced Studio, Lincoln-Mercury Studio and Ford Studio — to submit proposals. With only about two years before the planned launch, Ford was understandably short on time, and it's believed that the studios only had a month to create and present these designs. Lincoln-Mercury design proposal View 8 Photos The majority of the designs, a total of five, came from the Advanced Studio, and part of this was because they already had a couple of concept designs in reserve it could present. Two other models representing three design possibilities came from Lincoln-Mercury, and just one model with two options came from Ford. The Advanced Studio proposals are shown in the gallery at the very top of this article, and the Lincoln-Mercury and Ford proposals are in the gallery directly above this paragraph. The Advanced Studio's most radical design is the one that was clearly related to the Mustang I concept that would be shown later that year with huge wraparound rear glass, turbine-inspired bumpers and enormous side scoops. The other proposals from the studio were more conservative, featuring simple lines, grilles reminiscent of the Falcon, and one even borrowing the jet-thruster-style taillights made famous on the Thunderbird. Lincoln-Mercury had some impressively bold designs, particularly its fastback that had buttresses to extend the shape all the way to the tail. This car had two different side trim possibilities. The other Lincoln-Mercury design was toned down a bit, but had two interesting possibilities for side detailing, as well as some crisp, low-profile tail fins.
Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America
Wed, May 27 2015Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

Four minor accidents and no injuries are attributed to one of these conditions.
Ford recalls 382k vehicles across six campaigns
Wed, Sep 30 2015Ford needs to repair a total of 381,633 vehicles in North America across six newly announced campaigns, including five safety recalls and one compliance recall. By far the largest of these campaigns covers the 342,271 examples of the 1998-2003 Windstar to double check an earlier recall repair. Among these, 283,413 are in the US and 58,858 are in Canada. The combination of corrosion and stress can cause cracks in the rear axle and eventually lead to the part to snap completely. The company reports a small number of accidents might be connected to this, but there are no injuries. The minivans were recalled for this issue back in 2010, and it was investigated by NHTSA. According to Ford's latest announcement, the reinforcement brackets on some of these models might not have been installed correctly. This time, dealers will perform an inspection. Minivans with incorrectly installed brackets will get a new rear axle. The rest of the owners will be offered a deal to replace the part at a reduced cost. The next largest campaign covers 36,857 examples of the 2015 F-150 to fix a problem with the adaptive cruise control. Specifically, there are 33,481 affected trucks in the US, and 3,376 in Canada. According to Ford, "when passing a large, highly reflective truck" the radar in the system can misidentify a semi as being in the same lane as the pickup. The collision warning system would then activate, slowing the F-150. There's one report of an accident with this happening but no injuries. The fix is simply an update to the adaptive cruise control module software. Ford also has a recall for 1,477 examples of its 2016 F-53 and F-59 stripped chassis models, and they're all located in the US. A manufacturing issue might allow the trucks to shift into reverse without the driver first applying the brakes. There are no reports of any accidents from this, though. To repair the problem, the models get a new transmission shift control bracket and an adjustment to the shift cable. The Blue Oval's safety compliance recall covers 708 examples of the 2016 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, including 658 of them in the US, 28 in Canada, and 22 in Mexico. On these models, a manufacturing problem with the fuel tank could allow it to crack in a crash, which isn't allowed under federal rules. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires. The fix will be a new fuel tank for all of them. The company is also repairing 251 units of the 2015 Taurus and Lincoln MKS, plus the 2016 Explorer.
