1973 Mercury Cougar Xr-7 Convertible on 2040-cars
Kerrville, Texas, United States
|
What a fun car to cruise in. We have loved touring the Texas Hill Country in the Cougar. We just purchased a 2014 Mustang GT Convertible and I am purchasing a 1930 Model A so this Cougar is looking for a new caretaker. This car was built when pride was shown in the products this country produced and it is evident in the way this car runs and drives. Every time you turn the key it fires right up and is ready to cruise. Convertible top works flawlessly. If any down side can be said of this car it would be the radio. It is aftermarket and does not work well. I wanted to find a factory radio and put a ipod style player in the glove box. This car will come with the original tires and wheels with factory hub caps as well as the brand new custom tire and wheels as seen in the pictures. Cougar sets with just the right amount of rake without sacrificing ride quality. Dual exhaust sounds awesome and the engine is strong even with the original 2 barrel setup. And yes the sequential turn signals work great which is one of my favorite attributes of these cars. Car is for sale locally as well so I reserve the right to remove car from auction if sold. Thank you for looking and good luck. Cruising season is here ! |

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.
NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A 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.
Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
