I am selling my 1969 Mercury Cougar. It is the base model 2 door coupe. I am the second owner of the vehicle and I hate to see it go but I need the money so it has to go. I was told it was purchased in 1969 in Allentown, Pa. So this car has not went far at all. It has a 351 Windsor in it and has an automatic transmission, It ran when I put it in the garage like a month ago, I didn't try starting it today but I am almost a hundred percent sure that it will start as soon I turn the key. The carburetor needs to be cleaned out probably because it stales when in drive and you push the gas pedal. The car does need tlc, it needs a paint job, needs body work (it was bondoed in different spots but I think that could be done better), the frame looks good, but there are two holes at the front drivers side of frame that just need weld patches and at the front of passenger side. Trunk pan is in good shape and passenger floor too. Drivers floor could need a patch or two. Has a brand new headliner in it, and the majority of the interior is really nice as seen in the pictures. Drivers window needs to be aligned. Some chrome is nice and some other pieces are pitted. I also have the chrome that goes around the back window and that goes on the quarter panels. I made sure I listed everything wrong because I don't want to hide anything but this car could really shine up nice with a little bit of time and money. Please if you have any questions message me and I will do the best to answer them and I will also send more pictures if you need.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
