This is a super rare 4spd AC Q code XR7  Comes with a MARTI report.  The Kevin Marti book of Cougar XR7's states that there were 3100 XR7 convertibles produced in  1973 and only 64 with the 4spd and the Q code 264HP motor. The Black and tan color combo looks great on this car. I just bought the car from a person who needed garage space because he just bought another car.  he was the second owner of record  I can explain more of the history by phone I brought it to my mechanic and he went through it and fixed things as needed new power steering lines  tune.time and a new voltage regulator were all it needed. I find any serious buyers will call and I encourage that. Basically the car is a great cruise night car with ice cold AC that sounds rides and drives great. Super smooth on the highway and the fun of a standard shift on back roads. Again please call for honest info    Email call or text Vin nine seven eight   835 6009

 

The black paint I would rate really nice I have photos showing a couple imperfections

The car shows 90K but the motor has a nice cam in it and an Edelbrock manifold and carb the original carb manifold air cleaner and valve covers come with it the chrome dress up but I am not sure when it was done or what was done to the motor when they opened it up to put the cam in  It does sound and run super   It has power front discs and rear drums

New flowmaster exhaust with just the right muscle car sound.. New front end work The tires have approx 600 miles on them. The rally wheels have the correct Mercury insignia on the caps

The interior as you see looks very nice with just a few small blemishes here and there. All gauges work even the clock  The AM Fm Radio works OK  All power windows work but the rear drivers side has to be put up from the switch at the window itself  The map light and courtesy light work    There is a new custom carpet that comes with the car when installed it will compliment the interior quite nicely.

The exterior has no visible rust anywhere  the undercarriage,frame,floor pans and trunk are rust free. The bumpers are clear of any pitty or rust at all

The top is in good shape except for the one area depicted in the photos  Its something that could be lived with in top down weather and fixed or replaced at the new owners convienience   Again I encourage questions or inspections from serious buyers  All questions will be answered with complete honesty

The car is fore sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction if that happens

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.

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!
