VINTAGE
MUSCLE CLASSIC!
What would Cougartown Florida be without a real Cougar?! I am selling a 1968 Mercury Cougar Coupe with a numbers matching V8 302 J engine. It has the C4 Automatic Transmission, and factory disk brakes. Has the hideaway lights and that timeless style . It has factory Power Steering, power brakes, and factory A/C components are there, but not hooked up. Odometer says 21219, but probably has turned over. It has had 2 owners that I am aware of. I have the original purchase booklet for the car when it left the lot. The internal body has been sprayed with a form of Rhino Lining, and the outside bodywork had the standard marker lights shaved off to give it a meaner, sleeker look. The engine has been cleaned up, painted, and new plugs/wires/distributor. Cleaned and reinstalled the Holley 4 barrel carburetor. Also has a new Brake Booster and Master Cylinder. All other new or reconditioned parts are listed below. New Alternator Belt Vacuum lines rerun New Battery New headlight Switch New Brake Switch New Accelerator Pump It has been restored to about 90% completion. I have several extra pieces that will further complete the car to full restoration, and give options to alter the look of the car, or you can resell on Ebay for more cash. I have a set of original Magnum Rims and also Cougar hubcaps, as well as a couple 68 fenders with the marker lights. The body is black matte primer, so you can simply drive into the paint shop and pick your color. The remaining components needing troubleshooting are Turn Signals (original sequential lights aren't responding.. I am not an electrician...) Front Seats are worn (they are over 50 years old!) A/C needs to be hooked up, flushed, and charged... Some body badges (have them, but were removed for painting) The NADA had listed this car Style/Year/Engine/Options at Poor Condition -$12k Good Condition - $20K Excellent Condition - $33K |

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
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.
eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
