1968 Mercury Cougar XR7. This is an all original, unmolested car. It has been sitting in a garage for the past 15 years, The fluids were changed and it started right up. It runs very well and the transmission shifts very smooth. A/C blows cold. The specs are as follows:


- 302 4v V8 Engine
- C4 Transmission
- 3.00:1 gears 
- Sunlight Gold Paint
- Nugget Gold Interior
VIN# 8R93J515465
Door Data Tag : 65B Y 6Y 08C 52 5 W

This car is from the original owners and is as original as it was when they drove it off the lot. Interior is in great condition for being original. A cracked dash and small tear in the headliner (shown in photos)are the only issues. Exterior paint needs to be repainted,(unless you like the original Patina look). The owners stored cleaning supplies on the hood of the car while it was in the garage. The supplies eventually leaked on the hood and destroyed the paint as you can see from the photos. The vinyl top needs redone, otherwise this car is ready to go. Tires are brand new, Brakes are good, Engine does not leak or burn oil. Floors are solid and rust free. There is a small amount of rust in the trunk as shown in the photos, otherwise a very solid car. This is a very nice original car to restore or drive like it is. The vehicle is on a non op registration that is current thru 04/13. Car comes w/ original manuals, owner card and black Ca. license plate. Shipping of the car will be the responsibility of winning bidder, I will be more than happy to assist in any way I can.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Bugatti 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.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
