1967 Mercury Cougar Xr-7 4.7l, Excellent Project on 2040-cars
Magnolia, Texas, United States

67 Mercury Cougar XR-7 project car for sale. If you are a Cougar fan then this project is for you. What you are bidding on is a very complete highly optioned first year production Cougar XR-7. This car has always been a California and southern car and therefore has very little rust to worry about. Floors, aprons, doors, hood, deck lid, rockers, torque boxes, fenders all rust free. Car is overall about 95% rust free with the only issues some minor issues around wheel openings on quarters. The inner and outer wheel houses are rock solid and the quarters are most definitely salvageable. There is also one spot on the passenger side trunk drop. Other than that this car is bone dry. I purchased this car from a guy in Alabama with the intention of making a Gurney/Bud Moore Trans Am replica and after getting the car I have come to the realization that this car is too nice to chop up. First of all it is a highly optioned car with the XR 7 package, power disc brakes, A code 4bl 289, A/C, and Power steering. The previous owner completely dissembled the car and every part that he removed comes with the car with most parts very organized and tagged. He also took about a hundred pictures of the disassembly as this was his first restoration attempt. I remember doing this too about 30 cars ago! The car was a running, driving car when he took it apart. There was a 302 in the car when he took it apart but was intent on restoring the car to original so he found a correct date coded 289 4BL that is currently sitting in the car. In addition to the parts removed from the car there are a number of new and reconditioned parts that will come with the car. There is a completely refurbished wood grain XR 7 dash for example. There is even a few NOS parts like chrome moldings etc. The car retains a lot of the original Lime Frost paint and as I have said is straight and solid. The interior is Dark Ivy leather and the seats need recovering. Door panels, rear trim are in very good condition. Dash pad is toast and will need a headliner. It will come with two working AM Cougar radios and an assortment of new in the box trim parts. I am sure I have forgotten something so feel free to ask questions. I will have everything that you see (and don't see) packed in the car for shipment. The car is located outside of Houston TX about 25 miles north of the airport. In summary this is a great project for just about anyone including a novice since there is so much documentation to the tear down. More importantly the staring platform is a very good one being rust free and highly optioned. I will be happy to speak to bidders directly if you will send me your number. Good luck!

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
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.
Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
