1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 Convertible, one of 4024 made. one of 219 in Medium Blue Metallic, original Blue Leather interior, 89k+ original miles. I have a big file of receipts for normal maintenance type stuff at shops around Nebraska, going back to the early 80's, showing a mileage progression to current, so I believe the mileage to be accurate. the original engine runs like you'd expect a well maintained 89k mile Ford V8 to run. Currently shows 89,470. Also comes with the original owner's manual, a 69 Mercury full line brochure & Cougar spec book.

In the last 5 years, it's had the original carb rebuilt, timing chain & water pump replaced. left valve cover gasket, new radiator & hoses. A/C Converted to R134, the clutch engages & runs but ac doesn't blow cold. Car spends a lot of time sitting so likely has a leak somewhere. Transmission front pump seal is starting to leak but shifts perfect otherwise. The fuel gauge & clock don't work, tires have about 500 miles on them. Cruise control does work-never seen one of these with cruise. The AM/FM stereo & 8-track work. Dash pad is in perfect condition, All the power windows work, the right rear one is missing the chrome switch face, but still works. the left rear window, the rollers are loose at the glass, where they ride on the regulator track. Goes up fine if you help it, but tries to bind sometimes otherwise. The master window switch, the master lock out switch that disables the other windows-is missing. Both those switches are available reproduction elsewhere on Ebay for about $45ea.

The guy I got the car from, was an instructor at an Automotive technical school in the area & he put on; a new flowmaster exhaust, replaced all the wheel bearings, calipers, rotors, M/C, brake hard lines and hoses, wheel cylinders, rotors, drums, the rear axle seals have been replaced. new check valves for the headlamp vacuum operated system, which-still leaks down a few minutes after the engine is shut off, like they all do, but they work perfectly otherwise & are aligned as original. It always amazes me to see these 69/70 Cougars that get rotisserie restored-and the headlamps/grills are aligned like crap. The car was repainted at some point in it's past, I think a bit darker than original. Ahead of the trunk lid the paints flaked off as well as a spot on the LF fender. The quarters where replaced at the time but are starting to bubble up in some spots. The trunk & rockerboxes/spring perches are in decent shape, the floor in the front footwells, someone put some sheet metal over the original rusted floor pan, under the original carpet, which is faded in spots. The convertible top is enough to keep the wind & sun off, doesn't have any major tears, but should ultimately be replaced. the rear glass hinge-the plastic strip between the top & bottom sections of glass where it folds is completely separated. The top mechanism works perfectly, has no rust & doesn't have any unusual play in the pivots. The rear bumper has a ding in it, I have an extra that comes with the car.

This car could really sparkle, fully restored or you can enjoy turning heads every where you go in it, just as I've done-still plenty of time this season to cruise it before winter! This car was optioned out to be the perfect summer cruiser & I think, the perfect color combination.

Remember, your bid is a legal, binding contract. A non paying winning bidder has a very strong chance of being tracked down, tarred, feathered, publicly shamed etc. Buyer responsible for transportation & pickup-in a "reasonable amount of time." I really need to reclaim some garage space for other projects. I can coordinate with your shipper as needed.

***THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION, WINNING BIDDER TAKES IT HOME!!!***

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible

Wed, 31 Aug 2011

Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
