I am selling my 1969 Mercury Cougar. This vehicle is a matching number and fully documented piece of American Muscle History. This was an older restoration from the ground up from sometime in the late 90s by the previous owner. For the past few years she has really been a blast to own and has always been a turn key type of car with no issues. The Engine is the 351 Windsor with a mild cam along with a Holly 750 4 Barrel Carb. New Hooker headers going into dual 40 series Flowmasters which makes this cat really roar. Has a C6 transmission with a 9 inch posi rear end. The Body was repainted at the time of its restoration with its original "Y" Code Burnt Orange Metalic Paint #3202-A. The Interior is jet black with bucket seats in mint condition with no rips or torn material. The engine compartment is clean. The trunk is very clean with its padding in place. This vehicle originally came with 14 inch Magnum 500 Chrome Wheels on brand new Dunlop Qualifier raised white lettered tires which are also in the purchase along with the 15 inch Cragars which have brand new B.F Goodrich Radial T/A tires that are on the vehicle now. Today you could not fully restore this Cougar for my asking price never mind trying to find a good clean solid one to begin with. This is a daily driver when weather permits, always stored inside climate controlled garage and never driven in the rain or snow. If interested please feel free to call me at Three,Three,Nine-Two,Two,Five-Eight,Seven,Five,Five and I will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill 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!
