1973 Mercury Cougar with the Eliminator Package (cloned). Has the most desirable color in factory "burnt orange". Screams 1970's. Clone Eliminator package in black. 69000 original miles. Excellent condition overall. A very nice driver. Original 351 Cleveland . Recent Edelbrock carb. Dual exhaust added at one point. Very loud and proud. The car was repainted the original factory color at one point, a decent paint job. Still bright but with minor hazing in a couple of places. Excellent original top with no snags or tears. This car was and is not a rusty car anywhere. The interior is overall excellent, only needing a drivers door panel to eliminate a five inch crack and a one inch crack. Dash is perfect. Original radio not in car. I have extra material for the interior. Has AC, appears to work but not ice cold. Needs nothing but detailed. Seen recently by a mechanic who works on vintage cars and he was impressed with how clean underneath the car has remained. Has new master cylinder and new aluminum radiator. If you are picky you may want to put new wheels on it as they are pitted in some places and not original to the car. Tires are matching Kellys all the way around. Open to partial trade for a snowmobile, snowmobile trailer or celebrity music memorabilia. This car has been used in a couple films and a new CMT TV series. A very solid car. You can call me at 615 504 1512 for walk around details.

NHTSA investigating Ford's solution to May 2014 power steering recall
Tue, Apr 7 2015The 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.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
