1969 Mercury Cougar Xr7 428 Cobra Jet on 2040-cars
Ward, Arkansas, United States
Up for sale is my 69 XR7 Cobra Jet Cougar project car. This car has its complete original drive trane with block date 9C20, heads both 9D4, intake 8K19, distributor 9C8, original exhaust manifolds (not removed so no dates to include), finned valve covers and original breather set up. The carburetor is missing, the starter is a rebuilt unit and the alternator is a Motorcraft. I did not check the date on the water pump. The smog set up is also missing. The original radiator C8ZE S1 date 9C4 and Clutch Fan C9ZE E are still in place. The original fan shroud is in place but broken beyond repair.
It also has its original transmission with the R Servo and tag PGB AF1. It has the original drive shaft with original universals and the original N Case Rearend. The exhaust pipes and mufflers have been replaced. Basically this is an all original car still in original paint with original interior that survived. It shows its wear and tear for sure but do not be deceived. This is a very restorable car that is solid with great floors, torqe boxes, rails, engine panels and a perfect lower cowl panel to boot. The passenger quarter and door need replaced. The driver quarter needs patched. The driver door and passenger fender can be used but need some work. The driver fender could be straitened but I would replace. With that said, I will post up a lot of pictures and you can make your own assessments of this car. |

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.
Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

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.
