1967 Mercury Cougar - LOW RESERVE
Offered for sale is a beautiful 1967 Mercury Cougar. This Cougar has only 97,998 Original Miles. Runs/drives great. 302 V8/Automatic Transmission. Very nice unmolested/unmodified car. Before I purchased the car it was in the same family since the late 60s. Clearly always been taken care of, very tight car. No rust or rot, floors /trunk/ torqueboxes are solid and in the condition you would expect of a car this nice. Recently re-chromed bumpers. As you can see this Cougar shows very nicely.
I drove over 300 miles in this car last weekend and it ran/drove fantastic. Car had brand new set of tires put on last week (see last picture, other pictures were taken last Wednesday before they were put on). Needs nothing to be driven and enjoyed as-is. Has sequential turn-signals and they work awesome. Currently you do need to flip the headlights manually and the heater core is currently disconnected (it works, too well for me in the middle of the summer even when completely off). Truly a very nice Cougar that hasn't been messed around with. If you're reading this listing you likely know how hard it is to find a car like this.
Please look at pictures, they tell the story of this car and illustrate the condition better than I can. It's not a perfect 100 point show car but it is very nice. Please ask questions before bidding. I invite any and all interested parties to come inspect the car in 02631. Car has very realistic reserve and should sell. I have sold several cars on Ebay and the buyers have always been happy, I want the lucky new owner of this Cougar to feel the same way.

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.
Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
