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.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.

The AM37 is literally the Aston Martin of boats

Wed, Sep 28 2016

While sports car companies such as Porsche and Lamborghini are looking to SUVs to expand their offerings, Aston Martin has taken a page from Mercedes and designed a boat. Specifically, it's a 37-foot powerboat appropriately named the AM37. The boat was developed with help from Mulder Design and Quintessence Yachts, and is available in two different versions, both of which should the aquatic equivalent of Aston Martin performance. The standard AM37 is available with two different pairs of engines from Mercury, either 370-horsepower diesel engines or 450-horsepower gas engines. If that's not enough, Aston also offers the AM37S, which comes with a pair of 520-horsepower gasoline Mercury engines. Like road-going Astons, this boat is absolutely gorgeous. The lines are simple, crisp and clean. It features a beautiful wood deck, and an impressive double-curved, single-piece glass windshield. And if you get tired of the sun, the AM37 features a powered, carbon fiber bimini top. The interior completes the package with a carbon fiber dashboard, lots of leather and polished steering wheel, throttle and joystick. It's also incredibly well-equipped with seating for eight, air conditioning, mood lighting, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, a bed that folds out from the table, and even a bathroom. Aston Martin didn't release pricing or availability for the AM37. However, we suspect that if you really want this boat and have the means, pricing doesn't matter, and you're probably willing to wait.
