Up for auction today is a very rare Cougar XR7 factory equipped with a 428 CID Cobra Jet. Obviously this is a project car. However, it is one of the most complete and original examples in existence. The 428 Cobra Jet is still bone stock and features the original C8O Distributor, Factory Air Cleaner Snorkel & Heat Shield, C8Z Radiator and original clutch fan. The transmission is the Cobra Jet Specific casting with the R Servo and Cast Iron Tail Shaft Housing. The 9" Differential is the original 'N' Case with 31 Spline Axles. My reserve price is less than what this drivetrain is worth. Add in the other Rare & Desirable Options like Air Conditioning, Power Windows, Tilt-Away Steering Column and the XR7 options and this car stands out even more.
I AM NOT PARTING THIS CAR OUT!!!!
Again, this is a project car. It has spent many years in storage and its time for a new owner and a restoration. The car sat in a garage largely neglected. During the storage the carburetor was removed by the previous owner and lost. I found 2 of the original carburetor nuts, the other 2 are MIA. The intake was left open so I do not feel safe trying to run the engine not knowing where the other 2 carb nuts are. The previous owner stated the car ran when parked, again I have never heard it run. Plan on a complete rebuild. I believe the original mileage to be 129k. The only components I can see that are not original on the engine are the carburetor and the fuel pump, otherwise it appears original down to the correct fasteners. The A/C system is complete.
The body has surface rust from sitting in a damp garage. The floors appear to be solid as do the frame rails and torque boxes. Plan on the typical issues of the breed such as door corners and lower quarter corners. There is some rust on the lower drop-offs and some minor scale on the trunk floor around the body grommets. At some point the car had a minor repair on the passenger door and quarter panel. From what I can see it the damage was minor and was repaired with about an 1/8" thick skim of filler that I was able to simply pull of the quarter panel. The grill assembly is in decent condition with one crack on the grill center and one on the driver's side panel. Overall a good grill for one of these cars. The passenger side fender extension molding was only sat in place for photos.
The interior is still the original and presents well but shows wear. Luckily it also appears to be original and un-touched like the rest of the car. It would be fine for a driver but not up to any show standards. The tilt column is nice and tight with a crisp lock engagement that is quite rare in these. The Rim Blow Steering Wheel appears to be in good condition with no visible cracks in the woodgrain portion. The lower dash has surface rust from sitting in a damp environment. All they typical interior issues you would address in a restoration.
Please take a look at the photos and give the ad a good read. If you still have any questions please call me at 425-308-0802 thanks Mike.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The 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.
Watch as an out-of-control car demolishes gas pump
Tue, May 2 2017A Baltimore area man was fighting for his life Tuesday after crashing his car into a gas station. According to WBAL, the unidentified 64-year-old lost control of his vehicle for unknown reasons around 4:55 a.m. May 1 in Parkville, Md. The 2007 Mercury Milan careened downhill, ramped over a curb, and smashed full-speed into a gas station pump. The car then flipped and came to rest against one of the station's canopy support pillars. Don Karbowniczek, owner of a service station across the street, told WBAL he was shocked there wasn't more damage. It's also surprising that the car even made it to the pumps, as it had to thread past a coin-op vacuum machine, the station's sign, a utility pole, and a traffic light pole. "It came right through, took some of our bushes out, just trimmed them for us, and how it got through and flip the way it did, I don't know. From what I see on the marks, it had to go airborne and just come down on the pump," Karbowniczek said. Thankfully there was no fire or explosion. Gas pumps have shear valves - safety devices that immediately cut the flow of gasoline when a pump is damaged. The driver was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, and was in critical condition. Police theorized the driver may have become stricken with a health issue when he lost control.

More than 800,000 Fords recalled for faulty Takata airbags
Thu, Jan 12 2017The Basics: Ford is recalling about 816,000 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles built in the US for faulty passenger-side Takata airbags. The affected vehicles were all built in North America, with 654,695 recalled vehicles in the US and 161,174 vehicles in Canada. A wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs are affected. This is a planned expansion of an earlier recall. 2005-09 and 2012 Ford Mustang 2005-06 Ford GT 2006-09 and 2012 Ford Fusion 2007-09 Ford Ranger 2007-09 Ford Edge 2006-09 and 2012 Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln MKZ 2007-09 Lincoln MKX 2006-09 Mercury Milan The Problem: Like every other Takata recall, the problem rests with faulty airbags that can potentially expel shrapnel, injuring or killing vehicle occupants. Millions of vehicles from dozens of automakers are affected, so don't think that Ford is alone on this one. Injuries/Deaths: Ford stated in a press release that there have been no injuries or death linked to the vehicles in this recall. All in all, 11 deaths and 180 injuries across a variety of automakers have been linked to these Takata airbags. The fix: Ford will contact owners soon, and the affected vehicles will have their airbags replaced by a dealer at no additional charge. If you own one: Wait for contact from Ford, then head to the dealer to get a replacement. If you're wondering if your vehicle is affected, go to this Ford website and enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The recall reference number is 17S01.
