This includes extra front and rear windows, side windows, extra fenders, extra set of bumpers, extra set of hideaway light housings,extra set of Magnum rims, extra set of hubcaps.There is soooo much more that I cannot list it all. Both have factory Power Steering, Power brakes, and the factory A/C components are there ( though not hooked up). The Black Cougar Odometer says 21219, but probably has turned over. The Green Cougar has only 53K original miles. The engine is safely stored away outside of the car I have both original purchase booklets for the cars when they left their lots. Several manuals and magazines including the original CAR and DRIVER that featured the review of the 1st Cougars! The Black Cougar has 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 fenders look clean and The engine has been cleaned up, painted, and new plugs/wires/distributor. Cleaned and reinstalled the Holley carburetor.

Pieces include NEW Windshields, NEW carpet kit, NEW front and rear seats, New Power steering hoses, New rubbers, New Vinyl for the Landau Top, and MORE! The engine was removed in order to repaint and recondition, and I have extra set of cylinder heads with extra push-rods, and rockers. Engine is being stored safe and sound in my shed to keep the elements away from it. Lots of extra badges as well. I hate to part with them, but I have to condense my project inventory. You can see the first Cougar restoration process at the Classic Cougar Community site in the Project Forum under the "Twins in Cougartown" heading. 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 for more cash. 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..but there are 3 sets of Sequential Signal components.) Front Seats are worn (they are over 50 years old!) A/C needs to be hooked up, flushed, and charged... There are LOTS of pictures so I just included as many as Ebay will allow. But I will send any pictures you wish to see of any parts, pieces, or car sections.

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.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These 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.
