1968 Mercury Cougar Xr7g Sunroof, Factory Air on 2040-cars
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
|
This is a 1968 Mercury Cougar XR7G 390, factory sunroof, factory air conditioned project car. The car is a true XR7G and the Marti report is included to prove. This is one of only 619 G cars and is very rare so it deserves a restoration. I purchased this car from North Carolina and the US title is still with the car so it can easily be returned to the US. For that matter the car has the Canadian taxes paid so it can be easily transferred to a Canadian title also. The car has all the really hard to find correct factory xr7g parts including the floor console, g mirror, sunroof parts, super puff door panels, three pin headlight door button, third horn, hood scoop, and front valance lucas fog lamp buckets etc. The car has the correct date coded engine but it is apart right now. The car is a very restorable car but with any older car they have some issues, this car needs floor panels but the frame rails and torque boxes appear to be solid. The car should have a passenger quarter panel and passenger door pillar post replaced because a previous repair was in my opinion not done up to snuff for the caliber of car that this is. The car was hit on the passenger side at one point in its life, but the rocker was not hit and it still has the original date coded windshield in it so it was obviously not hit that hard. I can possibly help with the shipping but it would cost an additional fee. Serious inquiries can call me at two five zero eight 96 six zero 40 Please ask all questions before bidding.

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.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
