This is a collector's special - RARE 1973 XR7 Mercury Cougar convertible. This vehicle is virtually rust-free. This car was purchased from the original owners in 1991 with just over 50k miles on it. It was originally purchased and lived its first 18 years in Nevada, before being brought up here to Salt Lake. It has been garaged for the past 22 years, driven very little. The vehicle was in good running condition five years ago when it was parked, but has not been driven in a while and will probably require a good tune-up.

Soft top is white, but will probably need to be replaced

Was running smooth and strong, but has simply been parked for too long. I am not a mechanic, and would prefer to see this great car go to someone who knows what to do with it to make it what it needs to be.

Clean, clear title in hand. Email with questions, or to set up a time to come take a look and I will do my best to respond as soon as possible.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
