1968 Mercury Cougar XR7. This is an all original, unmolested car. It has been sitting in a garage for the past 15 years, The fluids were changed and it started right up. It runs very well and the transmission shifts very smooth. A/C blows cold. The specs are as follows:


- 302 4v V8 Engine
- C4 Transmission
- 3.00:1 gears 
- Sunlight Gold Paint
- Nugget Gold Interior
VIN# 8R93J515465
Door Data Tag : 65B Y 6Y 08C 52 5 W

This car is from the original owners and is as original as it was when they drove it off the lot. Interior is in great condition for being original. A cracked dash and small tear in the headliner (shown in photos)are the only issues. Exterior paint needs to be repainted,(unless you like the original Patina look). The owners stored cleaning supplies on the hood of the car while it was in the garage. The supplies eventually leaked on the hood and destroyed the paint as you can see from the photos. The vinyl top needs redone, otherwise this car is ready to go. Tires are brand new, Brakes are good, Engine does not leak or burn oil. Floors are solid and rust free. There is a small amount of rust in the trunk as shown in the photos, otherwise a very solid car. This is a very nice original car to restore or drive like it is. The vehicle is on a non op registration that is current thru 04/13. Car comes w/ original manuals, owner card and black Ca. license plate. Shipping of the car will be the responsibility of winning bidder, I will be more than happy to assist in any way I can.

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line

Wed, 05 Jan 2011

The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.

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.
