Everything is there to make a very easy restoration or simply drive and enjoy how it is. I have had the car for several months now and have rebuilt the carburetor, replaced starter, new alternator, new water pump, new dryer for the a/c and fittings for r134a Freon, new plugs and wires, and several tanks of premium gasoline haha. Because I have put atleast 400 miles on the car testing and tuning. The old car has no problem cruising 70+ mph or banging through the gears and coming to a nice stop with the drum brakes. Car seems to me to have a early restoration sporting vin code paint of Dark Ivy Green Metallic with Original Cream Color Interior. All Badges, Chrome, Fender Skirts, Air Cleaner, and Original Hubcaps are all with the car. The Original NUMBERS MATCHING 289 still sports its original chrome valve covers and chrome dip stick. Still runs very strong and sounds AWESOME!!!! The Original 4 Speed Top Loader shifts very nice with Original wood knob shifter. All mechanics work very nice together for a nice ride especially in the Cold Ford Dealer A/C. This is a very solid car with only 1 spot of rust behind passenger wheel well that is nothing major at all. The entire underside of the car, trunk, floor pans, door pillars, fire wall are all very very solid with only minor surface rusting/discoloring. Body is pretty strait with a few bumps here and there. The paint is driver quality with scratches and blemishes but hey its older than I am. Interior is nice and neat very nice carpet but missing the dash pad. All gauges and lights are working. Can only be missing minor things but, have a bucket full of miscellaneous parts that go with the car. All chrome and other parts are in the trunk. PLEASE CALL!!!!

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford 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.

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
