1968 Mercury Cougar 289 2bbl on 2040-cars
Manhattan, Kansas, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1968 Mercury Cougar. Well optioned out of the factory. Power steering, power front disc brakes, air conditioning.This was my project for the last year and I have lost interest and decided to move on and focus on my family. I received the vehicle from a friend who purchased the vehicle from the original family in Wamego, KS. It was stored inside for most of its life, but the previous owner needed room, so it was moved out. Motor Turns over, runs and idles, but carburetor is leaking.
I bought spark plugs, cap and rotor and points and condenser. Transmission grabs nicely as I have put it in Drive and reverse in my driveway. Brakes will need to be completely overhauled. Very little peddle and fluid drains out somewhere. The interior is surprisingly in decent shape. the leather is cracked. Well optioned as it has the rare headrest and the shoulder belts. The floor is solid, carpet needs to be replaced. Very little rust on the vehicle, looks to have been undercoated from the factory. Rear Trunk wells have rusted out, no other rust can be seen(I have not put it up on a lift.) When I received the car it was missing the drivers door. I located a replacement door, but misaligned the hinges and the front fender needs to be moved forward to open the door or damage to both the fender and door will occur. Windshield is cracked. All other glass is in good shape and I have the driver's door glass in the trunk. Roof has a fair amount of bondo on it, possibly from an earlier repaint. I do not see any holes, and there are not leaks inside the car. Previous owner may have backed into a mailbox, dent on the trunk and taillight panel.( I have a good replacement Trunk Lid that will be included) I have both tailights and extras, was told the sequential turn signals still work, have not tested yet. Vehicle has the original wire hub caps and steel wheels. Tires will need to be replaced sooner rather than later. 3 hold air, the right front has a bad valve and will leak out over night. Many Spare parts and trim will be included. Should not take long to make this one a good driver, possibly a show car. Clean title. Please look over all pictures and ask questions. Vehicle will need to be towed, more than likely on a flatbed trailer. I have described the vehicle to the best of my knowledge, I recommend inspecting the vehicle before committing a bid; vehicle is sold as is, where is. |

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.
Ford recalling 450,000 Fusion, Mercury Milan sedans
Tue, Nov 24 2015Ford has announced a pair of recalls, and both are critical safety issues. The exponentially larger of the two recall campaigns affects over 450,000 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans manufactured at the Hermosillo plant between July 21, 2008, and March 4, 2011. The canister purge valve in the fuel tank could malfunction and could cause the top of the tank to crack and leak fuel. That could cause a fire, although Ford "is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires" resulting from the issue. Affected vehicles will have their ECU software updated and their fuel tanks inspected for potential replacement. The company estimates there are 411,205 affected units in the United States (and its federalized territories), plus another 33,605 in Canada, and 7,055 in Mexico. The second recall affects 13 F-650 trucks. The column shifter's park position mechanism may fracture and let the truck roll away unexpectedly. Those 2016 models built in Ohio between July 29 and September 3, 2015 are all located in the US. Fixing the problem will require replacing the steering column and reconfiguring the instrument panel. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS IN NORTH AMERICA DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 23, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is issuing two safety recalls in North America. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles in North America for potential fuel tank issue Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 450,000 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles for a potential issue with the fuel tank. Some of these vehicles might have a canister purge valve that does not work properly, causing internal pressure changes inside the fuel tank. Repeated pressure changes inside the tank could result in a crack on the top of the tank, possibly allowing fuel to leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can lead to a fire. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant from July 21, 2008 through March 4, 2011. There are a total of approximately 451,865 vehicles that might be affected in North America, including 411,205 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories, 33,605 in Canada and 7,055 in Mexico.
