Up for auction is a 1974 Mercury Cougar XR7.  This is a 2 door coupe in need of restoration.  Someone could essentially put a motor in it and clean it up a bit and drive it.  It has current Oregon tags but they are not on the car at this time.  There is a small crack in the passenger side of the windshield. The drivers side door panel has some damage as well as the drivers seat and the passenger side headrest.  The car has been sitting outside under a canopy for several months.  There is some light mildew in the back seat area.  The carpet needs to be replaced.  As you will see in the photos, there is some rust on the car in the truck and drivers side quarter panel areas.  The molding on the front bumper has split on the passenger side so we have taped it to prevent further damage as it may be repairable.  The vinyl top was removed by the previous owner and was one of the items on my bucket list of things to do.

The Cougar XR7 had a 351C motor and was a great driving car until it dropped a valve.  We pulled the motor out hoping to put a new one in to continue driving the car.  However, just two days ago I was injured in a motor vehicle accident and I will not be able to complete this project as I had planned. 

This vehicle is located in Hillsboro, Oregon 97124 and will need to be transported at the buyers expense.  Therefore, you will be responsible for arranging and paying for any and all transportation costs from our location to yours.  We will send the signed title to you separately from the vehicle transporter to ensure that you receive the title in a timely manner.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

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 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.
