Thanks for viewing my 1974 Mercury Cougar XR7 in brilliant silver and with the original red leather interior. The odometer is showing 60k miles and by the condition and mechanical smoothness of this car, we have to assume this is accurate. I have driven this car quite a bit recently and everything is working very nicely. The A/C kicks on like it should but blows ambient, so it may need a refresh, but all other items are working fantastically. She starts nicely, with the choke setting just as it should, and the transmission is silky smooth. The ride around town and up at highway speeds is just as it should be. The radio sounds very nice and all the gauges (including oil, temp and amp) are reading well. The body on this car is just stunning with that long Cougar hood and incredible silver color -- as the photos hopefully show -- and the interior is so impressively pristine you really need to stop by in person and check it out. You will not believe your eyes. The underbody is nice and clean, as is the engine bay and trunk. This just a really incredible car that wil make someone very proud to own. The motor is a 351 V8 OHV with a 2-barrel carb that is purrs contentedly at idle and with 275 fb of torque gets up and goes when you want it to. And with a good-sized 26 gal gas tank, you've got a generous running range for those long cruises to shows and weekend getaways. I hope you take a good look at all my photos and ask any questions you may have, because this is really a special car. I've included many, many more photos at the link below:

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.
eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible
Wed, 31 Aug 2011Never 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 finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The 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.
