1967 Mercury Cougar XR7. Clear Nevada Title. I will post a more accurate description within the next few days. For now, I believe this is a 289 motor. It has a C4 automatic 3 speed transmission. It is an A/C car but the compressor is gone. The car was painted burgundy 2 years ago. Base coat, clear coat. Problem is after the car was taken from the paint shop to the upholstery shop by my interior guy, he cleaned the car after installing the factory correct top. Top came out like the factory did it. The headliner is in great shape, carpet also looks original but the door panels and seats will need repair. He called and told me the paint was "tiger-striped". Which I found out meant the base coat was not applied fully. To make matters worse, the body shop cleared the base coat. I told the upholstery guy not to re-do the interior, that I'ld be down to pick it up as is. But saying I was bummed out about the paint is an under statement. Apparently this was one of the last cars a (I thought), reputable body and paint shop in Las Vegas did prior to closing their doors. It was about 2 weeks from paint to top replacement that I got the car home. When I went down to the body shop, they had a new address where they moved to posted. Yeah right!! They are gone. Since then the hood has been removed and the underneath has been smoothed and 2 K primed & ready for paint. The door jambs have been 2 K primed and painted base coat only. The engine compartment was partly primed and painted but not completed. I haven't found the person to finish the job. I'll research the numbers on the engine and vin as soon as possible. I just don't have time now. If there are ANY specific questions you folks have, Please get back to me and that info will become a priority for me to get. The carb is a Holley and it has been rebuilt. The water pump is new as is the almost complete front end suspension. The front end needs to get to the alignment shop. The mechanic who did the front end replacement, also did the front end of the motor. He said the crank was "degreed", he flushed out the motor, the car has roller rocker lifters and some kind of RV cam. He thought it was a Hi-Po motor but said they came in mustangs not cougars. The aluminum radiator has been rebuilt. New thermostat and gasket, transmission filter and seal, ignition switch, belts, wires, plugs, valve cover gaskets & fuel filter. I have both bumpers, they are driver quality. The rims are aftermarket and the tires are ok, 195-65R 15. I would have them replaced prior to any speed driving. I have the headlight metal painted inserts along with the front cougar grill assembly.
There is a lot of info I have to get posted. I will asap. Thanks

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
