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 recalls 300,000 Crown Vics over lighting module
Wed, Dec 23 2015The Basics: Ford is recalling 312,814 units of the Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis sedans from the 2003-2005 model years. They were built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant between Oct. 3, 2001, and Aug. 2, 2005. Ford says 296,004 of those units are located in the United States, with another 14,714 in Canada and 2,096 in Mexico. The Problem: The solder joints on the lighting control module could crack, depriving the headlamps of the power they need to light the way ahead. That could increase the risk of a crash, particularly at night and in other low-visibility situations. Injuries/Deaths: Ford reports that it is aware of 11 accidents that resulted from the problem, leading to one injury described as "minor." The Fix: The manufacturer is instructing dealers to replace the entire lighting control module. If You Own One: Make sure your headlights are working before getting under way. If they're not, avoid driving under low-light conditions, including at night, in heavy precipitation, or in fog.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
