For your consideration a 1967 Mercury Cougar. Restoration has been on going for the past three years. Bodywork needs to be completed. I purchased the car on ebay from a private owner in California. The person I bought the car from could not verify if the mileage was correct. It has a freshly rebuilt engine and transmission with less than 500 miles @ 61429. Rebuilt starter, alternator, regulator as well as a new battery. The power steering has been overhauled including the pump, hoses and actuator. The front suspension has been completely rebuilt. It has five new tires and rims. It has baby moon hubcaps. Rebuilt water pump, aluminum radiator and transmission cooler. The headlight door actuators were also rebuilt. The exhaust system is new from the Hooker plasma coated header through the pipes and Flowmax mufflers. New Grant steering wheel. Seats, dash and console have been reupholstered. The sequential direction lights has a digital processor. I installed a '68 Cougar Tachometer in the clock position. It has new speakers front and back. The bumpers and other parts have been rechromed Yes, there is rust on the car. A lot has been done, but more is needed. The Cougar sat in a backyard (not mine) with the driver's side window open for five years. The floor pans in the back seat and trunk needs to be reconstructed. If I could keep the car, I would also replace the rear axle bearings. The car comes with new door seals and other parts ready to be installed after the restoration is complete. I am also including manuals and catalogs as source of information.

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.

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill 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!
