1971 Mercury Cougar Base 5.8l on 2040-cars
Valley Village, California, United States
|
This car is equipped with a Cleveland 351 4 bbl., automatic transmission, and shows 44853 miles. You are welcome to make me an offer. I purchased this car in 2004. The following was replaced to make the car roadworthy and dependable: transmission (complete overhaul); fuel tank, fuel level sending unit; fuel pump, and forward fuel line; radiator, heater core, hoses, belts, thermostat and water pump; new shocks and front end overhaul; rebuilt carburetor, fuel filter, cap, rotor, wires and plugs; exhaust system and muffler; tires; front and rear brakes and front brake lines; battery; power steering hoses; sequential turn signal unit switch (with solid state unit); door panels and upholstery. This car originally was green with a green interior. The prior owner converted it to red with a black interior. The repaint has held up well and the job was done thoroughly. The convertible top should be replaced as it has a small tear in it. The hydraulic motor to close and open the top is missing; however, the dash switch and hydraulic lines are still present. Replacement motors are easily sourced and installed. The original radio has been replaced with an aftermarket AM/FM radio. The true mileage of the car is unknown. I am certain that the odometer has rolled over once. The car start and runs as it would have in 1971 and is reliable. While not a show car, this is a fun weekend car for anybody who enjoys a dependable early 1970s convertible. The car is simple, mechanically speaking, and NOS and and reproduction parts are plentiful. |

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
