1974 Cougar XR-7. This car is one of one of the 92,670 Cougars sold in 74. I have a Marti Report that I purchased last year. I just don't have time for the car and my extra money if any goes to a couple of other cars I have. This car came with all the reg options plus a Factory 460 4BBL Engine with C-6 and 3:25 Posi. It also has Tilt, Cruise, Power Everything including Seats, Windows, Door Locks, has Factory Tach, Gauge Package instead of lights, Clock, AM FM Stereo with 8 Track Tape Deck, Delayed Wipers, Rear Window Defrost, and Trailer Tow Package Class II. Need to sell as it is getting a lot of Rust Problems in the lower doors and quarters. I rebuilt the Engine years ago just before I parked it with New Pistons and the whole 9 yards so to speak. The block had no wear so I was able to keep it standard but still put in new pistons. The block must be a High Nickel Truck Block due to the Tow Package to have Zero Wear with around 126,000 miles or more. Would like to sell for $2,500. just so I don't have to crush a One of One Car with a Rebuilt 460. I have too many engines now and no room. I have about 30 engines and other parts. It is a deal. You can't pull the engine, do a professional rebuild and reinstall the engine for less than $5,000. The car also has Black Leather interior although it needs new front covers. Mike. 704-516-8033. Another Donor Car from 1974 to 1976 Cougars, Montego, or Gran Torino Elite parts work. This would make a nice awesome car. Plus if you have a Street Strip or all out Drag Car you can use this Trailer Tow Package Cougar as the Tow Vehicle to Haul your Drag Cougar or other car to the track. Due to the car sitting for so long I cannot warranty anything about the car. I did however remove the gas tankseveral years ago, flush it and the fuel lines, rebuild the carb and with new gas the engine fired up without any problems at all. Call with any questions. Mike, 704-516-8033.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7

Sun, 31 Jul 2011

You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A 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.
