My deceased Grandmother's Black Beauty 1978 XR7 Cougar. Black exterior, red pinstripe & leather landau, maroon interior. 70,000 original miles literally driven by a 4'9" woman. Car has 1 small hole in drivers side carpet where Grandma's high heel would pivot in and out of car. Paint is passable but could use a new coat. I know a guy willing to do acrylic paint for about $1,200. Has minor rust spots on hood and top of cabin, no dents.
This car was professionally appraised at the value of $4000. This sweet ride comes equipped with a working 8-track tape deck, remote mirrors, cruise control (over 35 mph), a movable steering wheel (up and down), and an AM/FM Radio. Leather seats in excellent shape, no cracks. AC needs freon. Windows & seats work, however a gear has slipped on the locking mechanism. Tires replaced at 67,000 miles. Interior in great shape, in need of a few seals and gaskets for windows but is passable as it sits now. My Grandmother had the oil changed exactly every 5,000 miles +/- 100 mi. I had the oil changed last at 67,000 miles. This car rides great, feels like a giant floating couch, has a trunk that could hold the pacific ocean. It's pretty huge. Comes with a free spare tire, old school jack, a boot for that jack, chains for wintery weather, and a cover for the car. This car is a great project for a person who loves old school good lookin' cars. For more pictures, find my craigslist ad: Click Here |

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.
Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The 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.
