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 |

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
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.
Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
