This is the 2nd time I listed this car on ebay. I have now owned the car 3 years. I bought it for my wife who will not drive it (she thinks the hood is too long). I was driving it once a week, but as we got heavier into our 1963 Nova restoration the car got driven less and less and this is just not right. I know I will never do anything with this Cougar. I am just not a convertible kind of guy. I've lowered the price from last year because I would like this car to have a home this year. If you want to see a video of the top working, go to my flickr website flickr.com/mydogaragon/sets/72157630611980944 and you can see the top work as well as other photos.

I just gave it a complete real tune up, replacing everything. I noticed the timing was a bit off and the distributor was frozen, so we put in a new distributor. I also put in a new alternator. The car has many new parts from me as well as the previous owner. To name a few: Gas tank, shocks, fuel pump, top rubbers, wheel cylinder, lens, clock, windshield, radio with USB port, speakers.

The car was parked 13 years ago when it's windshield was cracked by a rock. The owner moved it once a week. I have it inspected and tagged and drive it when I can. Right now it's parked for display and moved every other day. As far as I know The mileage is original. The car is un-restored and it shows in a few places as you can see in the photos. I'm sure the car was repaired at some point in the 70's or 80's. There is bondo in many spots and the nose needs some work. The Drivers door does not line up correctly (Have to be up close to tell) and looks to have bondo in it as well. There is rust where you would expect it to be, but nothing showing through the paint. If you want something to drive right now that looks good from 10 feet this is your car. If you want a restoration project, you have a good running car and all the original stuff to work with.

The photos don't show the center console as I personally don't like it, but I have it in my shop on a rack. Any parts I replaced (like radio and clock), I kept the originals in case the new owner wanted them. Most everything I bought came from west coast classic cougar.

The car is listed locally. A $500 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit would be need for me to pull ads and hold the car for you.

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!

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.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
