Here is a great little car that I would trust to go anywhere in the USA. This is my wife's daily driver and she loves the attention she gets driving it. It has way to many new parts to mention. The paint is a Pearl White that is 5 years old. It was a cloudy day and pictures don't do justice. The body does have a few places coming thru the paint but barely noticeable. I am selling at half the cost of the paint job because I must. It is a 1981 Ford Granada GL that I have cloned into a 1981 Mercury Cougar Bostonian because the body style is the same and I liked the Cougars. It is equipped with power brakes, power steering, air conditioning (needs a low pressure hose because it split), hard to find part. It worked great till that happened. Comes with a working AM/FM/ 8 Track Stereo. I will give buyer a few 8 track tapes with the purchase. It has a 200 c.i., 6 cylinder engine a C4 automatic transmission. No leaks and uses no oil between oil changes. It has only had 5W30 Valvoline in her since she was new. I have owned this car many, many years and I am the 3rd owner. just a sample of new parts, headliner, u-joints, brakes all around, rear shocks, alternator voltage regulator, all lights and bulbs, radiator, front end alignment, oil change due in 1500 miles. It does need a dash pad, carpet, cruise control diagham, choke adjusted for cold start, runs rough on cold start but smooths out in 3 minutes. A/C hose, and better seat covers. They are good but not original. This is a turn key car. Buy her and drive her home. Drove her to Columbia, S.C. from Indianapolis and cruised at 75mph and no problems and didn't expect any. She is not a show car but has won several awards. Look at the pictures and make up your own mind and e-mail any questions you may have. If you are in the area, come and check her out. Please call 812-508-4893 for more info if needed. She gets right at 22 MPG. Thanks again. ringo46

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford 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. Scroll down to read the recall announcement from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or download the full defect notice as a PDF, here.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
