Up for sale is this fine example of a 77 Cougar. I purchased it from the original owner who bought it in 1977 from a dealer in Columbus Ohio as a weekend car.  When I got it it had only 9500 miles, and now has a bit over 10,000. The car runs and drives like new and shows very well.

The previous owner made a few changes to the car from original.  A Holley 4 bbl. and an Edelbrock manifold were installed, as well as dual exhaust. I have the original cast iron 2 bbl that goes with the car but I do not have the original carb.  He also added a chrome alternator and had the exhaust manifolds Jet Coated which are now a bit rusty.  When I got the car, age had taken its toll on the all white interior. Some of the interior parts had yellowed badly. I removed the interior and refinished the badly discolored parts to a blue that matches the factory blue of the dash. That change made a huge difference in the appearance of the interior, and in my opinion should have been the way it was trimmed originally. I replaced the leaky heater core and the deteriorated polyurethane flex joint in the steering column. Also replaced were the heater hoses and the heater control valve. The master cylinder which was leaking was also replaced, but the car still retains its original "like new" brake pads and shoes. I  repacked the front wheel bearings and serviced the caliper slides on the front brakes. The rear brake mechanisms were checked and cleaned as well.

The trunk still holds the original unused General HR78-15 spare but the other 4 have been replaced, probably because of age. The car even has its original wiper blades. The paint shows some defects and there are some gravel chips behind the wheels, but is quite nice for a 37 year old car. The vinyl top is flawless and soft and the original Polycast wheels are like new.

If you have any questions, please ask. Thanks for looking!

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line

Wed, 05 Jan 2011

The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

Ford recalls 300,000 Crown Vics over lighting module

Wed, Dec 23 2015

The 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.
