Where do I start. This has been a labor of love for twelve years. It is almost finished. Sadly I cannot complete this project.
The car was stripped down to bare shell, media blasted to bare metal. New seam sealer applied. So many details so much money, I can't include it all here. This was an extensive TOTAL restoration. Whats left is the detail stuff. install vacuum canister and harness for headlights. Install rubber parts, clock, door panels, window cranks,heater box, side lights, alighn and titen bumpers,etc. I have most of the parts to complete. I Don't have the fiberglass side panels for back seat. Those are available new. The steering wheel is nasty. front and rear bumpers are new. I have rocker mouldings but no clips. The motor was built by auto legend Jeff Jahns (Jahns Pistons)before his retirement The 351 windsor motor was stroked to 408" estimated horsepower 450+ Transmission is a rebuilt toploader 4 speed. differential is a lincoln versais with disc brakes. interior and top are new with 1970 cougar seats (I prefer the highbacks ) If you are serious about this project, I'm sure you can tell how much money has gone into this. Please call me with any questions or concerns Peter 541 4793333 On Jul-17-14 at 18:48:03 PDT, seller added the following information: Please note the car comes with generic tires and wheels.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It'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.
Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.
