1969 Mercury Cougar Xr-7 5.8l on 2040-cars
Lincoln, Nebraska, United States
I have a 1969 mercury cougar for sale. Its actually a 2 for 1 special if you would like it to be. The brown xr-7 has a good title and is a complete car. 351 W engine and automatic transmission and 9" rearend. Has its bumps and bruises here and there but the undercarriage is pretty solid. bumpers are in good shape and overall it is a decent car. It has power steering but doesn't have power brakes. Sorry no tilt. It does have the factory tach dash though. It has not been attempted to be started in many years so i doubt it will run. I bought it and the green car as a package deal and I just have too many projects so I thought I would try to sell them as a package deal. If somebody just wants the xr-7 thats fine you can leave the green one for me to deal with if you don't want it but one money buys them both. The green one is a good S-code body. (big block). it does NOT have a title but the roof and quarters are solid and in good shape. To me it would be a perfect rotisserie candidate. which was what i was going to do. The brown car has a drivers rear tire that doesn't hold more than a day so if you come to trailer it you may want to take that into consideration. I'm sure I may be forgetting something so feel free to ask me a question and I will get back to you just as soon as I can. Both cars are as is and I will help load onto a trailer if need be but I will not be hauling for anyone as you will have to find your own shipping. Thanks and have a good day.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
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.
