This vehicle has been stored in a garage for the past 20 years. Only 3 spots of rust evident, around the rear wheels (see pictures). Now that replacement panels are available for these sections of the rear quarters this repair is straight-forward. The previous owner cut out the rust on the driver side; the rust on the passenger side is minimal. The rest of the car is rust free, no rust in the frame, doors, trunk, trunk lid, tail panel, roof, rear valence, hood, or front fenders. I did notice a rust hole on the driver side rear quarter panel around the wheel well, probably sits under the GT side trim, very small and appears to be superficial. Torque boxes and floor pans are great. There are four quarter inch holes in the roof just above the rear window where someone attempted to mount a rear set of louvers. As you can see in the pictures the car comes with both front and rear bumpers with brackets. The front grille is complete and almost flawless, but there is a piece of the black louvered plastic missing that is less than 2 inches long x half inch tall just behind the gun sight, should be easy to fix. The car includes all of the hard to get and correct parts to install power disc brakes and power steering (correct steering box, brake pedal, power brake booster, spindles, steering control valve and slave cylinder, brake proportioning valve). The car also comes with the spring loaded rear license plate bracket in excellent condition. Fender caps all around are in great condition. Car includes parts stacked on the hood and roof and on the floor (drive shaft, valve covers, hub caps, D0OE radiator) as shown in pictures. Does not include windshield seen in picture with bumpers. There is also a 351 cleveland block in the engine compartment, but it is not original to the car, no transmission in the car. Mileage listed above was only entered to satisfy eBay, mileage is unknown.

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 closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
Mercury Cougar from Bond film 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' is up for auction
Fri, Nov 20 2020To a James Bond fan, this is a very cool and important car. This 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 up for auction by Bonhams was one of three used during the filming of 1969's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," the one-and-done film starring George Lazenby that's a dark horse favorite among many Bond fans (this one included, there's a Japanese-market 'OHMSS' poster hanging behind me as I type this). However, this was not James Bond's car in the movie. He drove an Aston Martin DBS, including in the film's pre-titles sequence when he follows Tracy di Vicenzo driving her bright red Cougar. She would go on to rescue him with it in Switzerland (hence the skis), sacrificing its pretty red paint and body work in a demolition derby on ice that they use to shake Blofeld's Benz-driving goons. Later, after getting caught in a blizzard, they seek refuge in a barn -- a pivotal scene in the film and one where this particular Cougar was apparently used. ON HER MAJESTYS SECRET SERVICE | Ice Car Race However, even without the Bond connection, this Cougar is a very cool car. It was one of only 127 in 1969 to be fitted with the top-of-the-line 428 CobraJet Ram Air V8 rated at 335 horsepower. Tracy had a serious muscle car. Bonham's doesn't seem to have thought to provide a Marti report, but I'm guessing the build of XR7, convertible and a color combo of matching red exterior and interior wasn't exactly a common one. Well, we know there were at least three. With skis and French number plates, too. As for the '69 Cougar itself, this was the only year it looked like this: it got a new body for '69 that would last two years, but the horizontal grille slats that extended over the headlight doors (so cool!) didn't carry over to 1970. It looked worse, and it could easily be argued that it was only downhill from here for the Cougar. The auction is set for December 16 and Bonhams is estimating a sale price of between $130,000 and $200,000. That certainly makes sense given the rarity of a CobraJet Cougar, the film connection and the complete restoration undertaken by the man who found it in a classified ad in the late 1980s. He originally just wanted it for the engine until he discovered the Bond connection. I actually saw this very car at the 50th Anniversary "Bond in Motion" exhibit at the Beaulieu Motor Museum in England back in 2013 (pictured below). There's also a model of the thing sitting next to me.
