I am listing a 1968 Cougar XR-7 metallic gold with a black vinyl roof. With a 302 automatic 2 barrel carburetor with A/C Power steering and Power Brakes. I purchased the vehicle about 5 months ago off of Ebay. The gentleman advertised the car as no rust, which is correct. The floor pans and lower quarters have been replaced. The original color on the car was Nugget Gold (Code Y). The interior is the XR-7 Black Leather Bucket seats (Code 6A). The story behind the car as was told, it was purchased from a estate sale from the original owner. Was then stripped and repainted a high gloss (close to the original color metallic gold), paint job is immaculent The odometer is showing 13, 932 was also thought to be original miles on the vehicle. Which I can not guarentee. The car starts and runs, extremely well. Like all A/C systems from that time period needs a hose replaced and a proper charge on the system. Don't be fooled in to someone suggesting changing to 134a refrigerant when they have a drop in R12 replacement allowing you to use existing components. We are posting as many pictures as possible, and will be glad to answer any email questions aswell as provide additional pictures. We will be glad to assist in loading the vehicle. I have described this car to the best of my knowledge. I would probably invest in a master cylinder for the brakes, brakes seem to be holding up but seems a little weak. Also there is a small scratch above the XR-7 on the vinyl roof, looks to be a screwdriver mark when placing XR-7 Label, It would be a easy repair. I feel the car is excelent driver and for the money you definitely can't go wrong. Additional parts I assume removed from the car when undergoing new paint are included. I am listing the car locally and have the right to close auction early if needed, Thanks for your consideration.
*This vehicle is being sold AS-IS. No warrantee offered nor implied*

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.
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.
Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
