The car has bubbles under the vinyl top and needs a new roof. It has an exhaust manifold leak. The auto choke needs work. Floors are mostly solid with one small rust thru on passenger side. It is not a rustbucket except for the roof. The sheet metal is good, straight, never been hit. The paint is fair, glossy but some alligator in places, The rubber is fair. Mileage is estimated, rolled over. A/C not hooked up."

This is a nice looking car that is on it's third owner since new. It has always been in Florida. It runs and drives great. It has a bad rust issue under the vinyl roof and needs a roof replacement and an exhaust manifold leak. We drove this car 4 hours to Daytona and back with no issues. The engine runs great, but sounds loud due to the manifold leak. It has a C-6 rear, and the 351 Cleveland 2 BBL.  Power steering and power brakes. The interior is ok, but some torn seams and the rear quarter back seat trim plastic is deteriorated.. The car looks and drives ok,  It needs someone to care for her and I have one too many classic cars and want to make more garage room. Do not bid if not serious. I reserve the right to sell early if sold locally and end the auction.  Do not ask me my reserve. Winning bidder must pay $500.00 within 48 hours of auction end, and pick up the car within two weeks after payment in full has been made and cleared. Have clear title. The paint looks good, but honestly, she needs a repaint. Not all the panels match, and someone spilled paint on the front passenger fender. This car is far too nice to consider parting....but I have no time to do the roof now. Thats why the price is as low as it is on buy it now. Open to offers but make it realistic or I will just keep the car. Call me at 239-823-3291 with questions. Ask for Ray or email ropthof2@comcast.net     

I have a walkaround video I can email if you would like.

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers

Mon, 04 Aug 2014

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Thu, 24 Feb 2011

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.
