There are several pluses and minusus with this car. The negatives---the ugly color someone painted it years ago. There is rust in the floor. Nothing that would cause you to fall through while driving, but as can be expected with this car, it's there. A hole in the trunk floor as shown, the lower quarters have been patched at some point, there are patches in the floor boards. The wheels are horendously ugly !! The good?? It runs extremely strong, it can be driven anywhere, the top is like new. Whoever did the top did a beautiful job. Fits tight with no wrinkles. Almost looks like the top bows were powder coated. I have had this car for about six years. I moved it out of my garage to have some work done in the garage and it wouldn't start. Got frustrated, replaced some gas lines, installed a new battery, drained stale gas and replaced with fresh. Now I am ready to sell. Don't feel like going through same thing six years from now because I never use it and will never take the time to restore it. The interior is in really nice condition. Perfectly serviceable. The headlights are tired, so unless you prop them up at night, you'll be driving in the dark. I am starting this auction at a ridiculous price with no reserve after that. The winner will be getting a driveable 1970 convertible that looks decent. i even have the original manual where the dealer typed in the original owner's info. Sold at Devon Lincoln Mercury on 11/21/69 , Ann Arbor Michigan. Good luck.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford 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.

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
