I am listing a 1968 Cougar XR-7 metallic gold with a black vinyl roof. With a 302 automatic 2 barrel carburetor with A/C Power steering and Power Brakes. I purchased the vehicle about 5 months ago off of Ebay. The gentleman advertised the car as no rust, which is correct. The floor pans and lower quarters have been replaced. The original color on the car was Nugget Gold (Code Y). The interior is the XR-7 Black Leather Bucket seats (Code 6A). The story behind the car as was told, it was purchased from a estate sale from the original owner. Was then stripped and repainted a high gloss (close to the original color metallic gold), paint job is immaculent The odometer is showing 13, 932 was also thought to be original miles on the vehicle. Which I can not guarentee. The car starts and runs, extremely well. Like all A/C systems from that time period needs a hose replaced and a proper charge on the system. Don't be fooled in to someone suggesting changing to 134a refrigerant when they have a drop in R12 replacement allowing you to use existing components. We are posting as many pictures as possible, and will be glad to answer any email questions aswell as provide additional pictures. We will be glad to assist in loading the vehicle. I have described this car to the best of my knowledge. I would probably invest in a master cylinder for the brakes, brakes seem to be holding up but seems a little weak. Also there is a small scratch above the XR-7 on the vinyl roof, looks to be a screwdriver mark when placing XR-7 Label, It would be a easy repair. I feel the car is excelent driver and for the money you definitely can't go wrong. Additional parts I assume removed from the car when undergoing new paint are included. I am listing the car locally and have the right to close auction early if needed, Thanks for your consideration.

*This vehicle is being sold AS-IS. No warrantee offered nor implied*

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers

Mon, 04 Aug 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.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It'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.

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.
