1969 Mercury Cougar
351-2v, A/C car with 91K original miles! 99% Rust Free!

This 1969 Mercury cougar is an excellent driver with its 91k original miles. Originally bought here in Albuquerque where it has been its entire life.  It is 99 % rust free with the floors, trunk in perfect condition. Runs down the road perfectly with no issues or noises. This is NOT a show car but rather a very nice driver that could use some interior work and minor detailing. This is still a head turner at 10 feet.

DETAILS:
Rust/body: (please see all pics) lower driver door size of fifty cent piece, older rust repair by rear window passenger side starting to bubble through and lower quarter has so-so bodywork. Dents and dings here and         there nothing large. Missing center grill section. Missing door tag for some reason. Vin plate is there. Doors are staring to sag and driver door is getting hard to close.

Paint: Was repainted sometime in the past. Definitely a ten footer not a high show quality job but also not an Earl Shibe.

Interior: Interior is 100% original. The back seat is completely tore up on the top and the dash is badly cracked, both due to New Mexico sun. Door panels, front seats, Head liner, sun visors, handles, knobs, AM             working radio, are all present and in good shape. Nothing is missing.
 
Engine: 351w 2v that runs amazing and starts instantly. NO SMOKE. Complete from air cleaner to oil pan including the A/C unit.

A/C: complete but does not work, nothing missing.

Glass: All original FoMoCo except the front windshield. all in good shape with no cracks or chips.

Electrical: everything works as it should, including the tri-sequential taillights. head lights work great and go up and down.

Guages: all gauges work as they should. Gas, temp, speedo and milage all work correctly.

Wheels and tires: both are new with less then 200 miles on the set. "stock" 15" magnums with cougar caps. (not 14").

Title: clean free NM title in my name.

As mentioned before this is an amazing, stock running vehicle, and I would have no issues with saying that someone could fly here and drive it home with no issues.
Please call me with any question that you might have. I have nothing to hide and have been an Ebayer for more than 12 years with 100% feedback!!! Please come and take a look if you would like!!

Junkyard Gem: 2007 Mercury Mariner Hybrid

Sat, Dec 19 2020

Once hybrid vehicles from Honda and Toyota proved to work well in the real world of American streets during the early 2000s, other U.S.-market manufacturers climbed aboard the gasoline-electric bandwagon. Ford introduced the Escape Hybrid for the 2005 model year and sales proved quite strong; its Mercury-badged sibling, the Mariner Hybrid, appeared the following year. The Mariner Hybrid never induced many vehicle shoppers to sign on the line which is dotted, despite gasoline prices going absolutely ape in 2008, though it remained available all the way through the Mercury brand's 2010 demise. Here's one of those rare trucks, found in a Denver-area yard last month. The Escape/Mariner Hybrids got amazing fuel economy for tall, truck-shaped machines, though the serious penny-pinchers with long commutes skipped anything built in the 21st century and began driving up the prices of the once-scorned Geo Metro XFi, gas-sipping champion of the previous decade. The Mercury brand was on the ropes by this time, with not much to distinguish the once-distinctive Mercury machines from their near-identical Ford counterparts. The 1999-2002 Cougar was the last Mercury sold here with no twin brothers over in the Ford showrooms. I do see the occasional Escape Hybrid in places like this, though such gas-saving small SUVs tend to retain their value well enough that it takes a crash to retire one. This Mariner Hybrid hit something hard and either flipped on its side or scraped a guardrail for some distance. The airbags deployed and, presumably, spared the occupants from serious injury. That's the good news. The bad news is that fixing this kind of damage to a 13-year-old vehicle made by a defunct brand just isn't worth it to insurance companies, hybrid-electric powertrain or not. We can assume that the battery pack lives on in another Escape/Mariner. Navigation, Bluetooth, and other features that were considered pretty slick in 2007. This truck was in pretty good shape until the very end. Jill Wagner proved that you can bury a Mercury emblem in volcanic soil and it will grow into a brand-new Mariner Hybrid. That's how science works! You can go to the same field and tap on a Mercury emblem, if you want to get a regular gasoline Mariner.

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America

Wed, May 27 2015

Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

The 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.
