This listing is for a 1986 Mercury Cougar XR7, this is the Mercury equal to a Turbo Coupe T Bird. I purchased this car back in 2009 from a gentleman in southern Ohio. The car was purchased new in West Springfield MA, and then from what I can tell went to the mid-west area until I bought it. The owner prior to myself had a new remanufactured motor installed in it at approx 109k miles. When I bought the car it had a turbo issue so I bought a new one and replaced it and then over the past few years put approx 25k miles on it. I never drove it during the winter months and although I dont know for sure it doesnt appear that it was winter driven prior to my ownership as the underside doesnt have the normal north east US rust issues that seem to plague most fox body Fords. Items replaced since my ownership that I can remember would include: new turbo, new radiator, new master cylinder, frt brake hoses, frt brake calipers and pads, rear brake shoes, rear wheel cylinders, heater core, aux fan motor, the tires on the back are brand new with just a few miles on them before I put it away the frt still have good tread. They are all matching tires, I picked up some road debris in the rear one which was why they were replaced.

The car has a 87/88 style turbo coupe hood on it now with the hood scoops. I had a guy make a set of block off plates for them to keep out debris and rain but they are removable if you wanted to add a top mount intercooler. I have the original ductwork that mounts to the hood for that. I also have some various extra pieces in the trunk that will go with the car also. The car has the original keys and I purchased a extra set of the turbo ignition/door key and the small trunk key although they need cut. I also have a couple of the 1986 Ford factory manuals that will go with it.

This car in 1986 listed for $16148.00( I have the original window sticker). I have set a very low reserve on the car to help it sell as I might be changing careers and need to let go of some stuff. If you have any questions or want to see other pictures send a note and I will answer as soon as possible. If you are local and want to see it in person that can be set up also. Car is running, driving, stopping, etc under its own power so if it goes by transporter there are no issues. Car is located about an hour and a half south of Buffalo NY or an hour north of Erie PA. Title is clean clear and in my name and the car will not leave until payment is made. A guy I know hauls cars for a living so if you were needing transport I can get you his info. Although it is listed with a reserve, bid what you are willing to pay. I have way to many toys so I dont need any trades. If reserve is not met I will most likely contact the final high bidder to see if interested so bid to win

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line

Wed, 05 Jan 2011

The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

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!

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.
