West Roxbury, Massachusetts, United States

I am selling my 1969 Mercury Cougar. This vehicle is a matching number and fully documented piece of American Muscle History. This was an older restoration from the ground up from sometime in the late 90s by the previous owner. For the past few years she has really been a blast to own and has always been a turn key type of car with no issues. The Engine is the 351 Windsor with a mild cam along with a Holly 750 4 Barrel Carb. New Hooker headers going into dual 40 series Flowmasters which makes this cat really roar. Has a C6 transmission with a 9 inch posi rear end. The Body was repainted at the time of its restoration with its original "Y" Code Burnt Orange Metalic Paint #3202-A. The Interior is jet black with bucket seats in mint condition with no rips or torn material. The engine compartment is clean. The trunk is very clean with its padding in place. This vehicle originally came with 14 inch Magnum 500 Chrome Wheels on brand new Dunlop Qualifier raised white lettered tires which are also in the purchase along with the 15 inch Cragars which have brand new B.F Goodrich Radial T/A tires that are on the vehicle now. Today you could not fully restore this Cougar for my asking price never mind trying to find a good clean solid one to begin with. This is a daily driver when weather permits, always stored inside climate controlled garage and never driven in the rain or snow. If interested please feel free to call me at Three,Three,Nine-Two,Two,Five-Eight,Seven,Five,Five  and I will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible

Wed, 31 Aug 2011

Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Ford 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.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
