1984 Mercury Cougar Ls Sedan 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
White Pigeon, Michigan, United States
My wife & I have owned this car since '92 & are the 2nd owners. We've been the only 2 people driving it the whole time. The 302 V-8 (5.0 Liter Throttle Body Fuel Injected) engine runs fine, Even though the car has 201-K on it. AOD (Automatic with Overdrive) transmission works great too. Radiator is the original one that was re-cored 4 yrs. ago. 8.8" rear axle has 2.70 ratio gears (I believe) & is in good condition as well. Along with this purchase I'm also including a drivers side rust-free door as parts. Engine & trans. (& rear end) are original to the car & never been apart. This vehicle is not to be considered for driving purposes due to severe rust on the unibody near the rear axle area. Trailering it would be a must upon purchase. The only rust free sheetmetal body panels on it are the hood; Roof; & trunk lid. It would be an excellent parts car for one this same yr. or you could use the drivetrain for another project car. It also has a rack & pinion steering set-up that could be used in another project. Car is 100% complete & you can hear it run upon purchase & it could even be driven onto a car trailer for transit to your location, Per buyer expense. I have this priced near what the scrap price is in our local area, But hate to do that if someone can use the drivetrain or other parts from it. I'd still be driving it if the Michigan winters wouldn't have caught up to it. Drivetrain has a lot of life left. (It was parked just recently). Thank you for checking out my listing!!! |

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
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.
