This is an original numbers matching car. I have the Marti report on her and she is one of 21 cars built with the options she has. She was born in Michigan, was sold in a dealership in Atlanta and spend most of its life in California where I bought her from 18 months ago.

This cat purrrrs with only 72,000 original miles on her. The 351 Windsor engine and FMX transmission and Eliminator heavy duty suspension were rebuilt by the prior owner. Car was originally white but when restored was painted with care to the beautiful bright blue you see today. I believe it’s called competition blue. She is an original A/C car and I just redid the A/C with all new components at the cost of $3,000. I have a thick file of receipts totaling $22,000.00 NOT INCLUDING COST OF CAR! For you Cougar enthusiasts this is a rare car and the one to own!

Amazing condition, this is an all metal car NO BONDO. New top and rebuilt power top motor operate perfectly. She has functional working hide-away headlights and sequential tail lights. I just replaced the actuators on headlights. Speedo, gas gauges, windshield wipers, stereo, dashboard lights, door lights, reverse lights and even the cigarette lighter work! Has the rare Rimblo steering wheel and eliminator suspension. Just did a wheel alignment and put on 2 new tires. Drives and runs excellent.This is one of the best 69's you will find out there.  

ENGINE- REBUITMatching Numbers 351 CI & WAS FULLY REBUILT (LESS THAN 600 MI ) and Matching Numbers FMX TRANSMISSION  WHICH PROVIDES THIS RIDE WITH MORE THAN ENOUGH POWER FOR THIS DAILY DRIVER AND IS EXCELLENT ON THE HIGHWAY. GEARS ARE ORIGINAL AND PERFECT FOR HIGHWAY DRIVING OR CRUISING AROUND TOWN. THE CAR HAS POWER STEERING & NEW DUAL EXHAUST. THERE IS A NEW BATTERY AS WELL AS A REBUILT STARTER. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.

INTERIOR- THE INSIDE IS IN GREAT CONDITION WITH NEW CARPETING AND THE RARE / EXPENSIVE RIMBLO STEERING WHEEL FINISH OFF THE INTERIOR. ORIGINAL STEREO SYSTEM IS INSTALLED AND WORKING WITH NEW SPEAKERS. NEEDS SOUND RESISTOR

ELECTRONICS-  HEADLIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, WIPERS, GAS GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, INTERIOR LIGHTS, REVERSE LIGHTS & CIGARETTE LIGHTER WORK. Original STEREO SYSTEM & NEW RFID STARTER KILL.HORN IS NOT HOOKED UP. ORIGINAL A/C CAR THAT IS WORKING PERFECTLY WITH NEW CONDENSER, COMPRESSOR, POA VALVE ETC

RIMS & TIRES- THE CAR HAS NICE SETS OF STOCK RIMS.

EXTERIOR- BEAUTIFUL NEW COMPETITION BLUE PAINT JOB W BLACK HOOD SCOOP AND ELIMINATOR TAIL-FIN. NEW TOP AND POWER TOP MOTOR INSTALLED AS WELL. CHROME IS IN GREAT SHAPE BUT NOT PERFECT. GLASS IS GREAT TOO JUST NEEDS SLIGHT ALIGNMENT.

KEEP IN MIND THE CAR IS 42 YRS OLD AND ALTHOUGH BEAUTIFUL SHE IS BEING SOLD AS-IS WITH NO WARRANTY. I ALWAYS SUGGEST COMING TO SEE THE CAR IF POSSIBLE.

SHIPPING- Cost and coordination is responsibility of the buyer. I am happy to assist where and how I can and even happy to refer guys I have used to transport but again all cost and responsibility is buyers.

Lastly I might not be a high volume Ebay member but I have perfect feedback for a reason. I don't do wrong by anyone! If you are a scammer please move on. I will allow for international buyers but cash or a wire must clear before pick up. I do have another car for sale but I am NOT a broker. Just letting go of of some of my toys. I am not hurting for cash nor am I in a rush. Not interested ina trade for a motorcycle or a boat!

Ford Announces Free Brake-Pad Offer If Customers Stop By Dealers

Mon, Aug 4 2014

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers. "We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts. Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1. "This program reflects our commitment to providing customers with an excellent ownership experience regardless of the age of their vehicle," said Frederiek Toney, President of Ford Customer Service, in the company's announcement of the offer. Scroll down to read the all the details.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A 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.

Junkyard Gem: 1995 Mercury Tracer Trio

Sat, Feb 5 2022

With the rise of Radwood, cars with exaggerated characteristics associated with the 1980s and 1990s are cool again. That means some combination of pastel and/or neon colors, squiggly squeezed-from-toothpaste-tube graphics, nonfunctional decklid spoilers, giant TURBO badging, and kicky youth-centric nomenclature are required if you want your wheels to be considered in compliance with the sacred tenets of Radism. I do my best to find rad machinery while crawling around in car graveyards, and since I came of driving age in 1982 I know a bit about the subject. Today's rare Junkyard Gem shows us the Mercury Division's belated attempt to sell fun cars to rad-leaning youngsters: a Tracer Trio, found in a Denver yard a few weeks back. The Trio package added 310 bucks to the cost of the $11,280 base Tracer sedan (that's about $575 on a $20,925 car in 2022 dollars), and it got the hip-and-trendy young buyer a leather-wrapped steering wheel, seven-spoke wheels, a decklid spoiler and these rad fender badges. I'm going to say that the much louder graphics and candy-cane-colored displacement badges on the Pontiac Sunbird W25 out-radded the Tracer Trio by a mile, but then Pontiac generally out-radded everyone in those days. Even Plymouth got into the act with such radness as the Breeze Expresso and Sundance Duster (we'll overlook the anti-rad Horizon Miser here). Perhaps tellingly, Mercury, Pontiac and Plymouth all got the "Old Yeller" treatment not long after the Rad Era ended. The Tracer name always went on Mercuries built on Mazda platforms, starting with the Australia-built, Ford Laser-based 1987-1989 cars and then continuing with Mexico-assembled, Ford Escort-based 1991-1996 cars. That generation of Escort/Tracer was mechanical twins with the Mazda Protege, itself the bridge between the 323 and the Mazda3. Some Tracers got the a 1.8-liter Mazda engine that was related to the Miata's engine, but this one has the pure-Detroit CVH 1.9. You're looking at 88 horsepower right here; the Mazda 1.8 offered 127 horses. At least the original buyer of this car got the base five-speed manual transmission instead of forking over $815 extra (about $1,510 today) for the four-speed slushbox. As a 29-year-old slacker living in San Francisco's Mission District and driving a hooptie '65 Chevy Impala sedan at the time, I would have taken the manual transmission without the Trio package, had I been forced to buy a new Tracer.
