Up for sale this week is a gorgeous 1969 MERCURY COUGAR XR7 with the original matching numbers drive train. Bought from a elderly gentleman, this one owner 91,642 cream puff has been garaged and babied its entire life.
The 351W motor with a FMX transmission which was rebuilt by previous owner and everything runs, shifts and drives like it should. THIS CAR LEAKS NOTHING!!!!!!! What's that worth to you? The timing chain was replaced last month as well as the steering ram. New disc brake rotors and pads up front were installed professionally and the rear drums were turned and new shoes and wheel cylinders were done as well. The brake booster and master cylinder got replaced by previous owner. The heater core on this car has been replaced too. If you are not aware of these heater cores, most of the dash has to come out to do the job. This heater core has been replaced and leaks nothing. Nice warm heater with NO leakage inside on rug. The distributor has had the points removed and a Pertronix ingnition was put in for reliability. New battery, alternator, plugs wires, water pump, belts and hoses and starter too. The exterior of the car was ground down to bare metal, metal conditioned and then self etched primer was applied. Then the car was DP-90 which is a sealer and 5 coats of high build primer was applied. The car was then block sanded to get car straight and then 3 more coats of high build primer and finish sanded to 400 prior to painting. Then the base coat/clear coat was applied in light green which is the factory color. Car looks amazingly stunning!!!!!!!!!!! A NEW vinyl top was professionally installed and the rare vinyl top trim was re installed. These trim pieces look amazing on the car! A rare option for the car. When the top was put on, both the front and rear windows were removed to do job right in installing the vinyl top. New rear rubber seal around rear window was used when they re installed the window. I found the factory build sheet under the passenger side front feet area. Very cool to find. Plus the factory check list sheet that gets checked off prior to leaving factory. That was found in the rear passenger feet area. Also fun to find this many years since the car was built Inside the car is like a time capsule. Dash has NO cracks. All the gauges work including the LOW GAS light. Tachometer works well. Heater and wipers work on all speeds and the headlights open and close without fail. Plus they stay DOWN when your done driving. Most of the factory tags are still on the car. Rear end tag, transmission tag, power pump ram has tag still on as well as carb. Even the seat belt warning light works as well as door open buzzer while key is in ignition. TILT A WAY steering still works when you turn car off. Also a tilt column. Has the Deluxe Horn Rim steering wheel as well which works with out fail. If you are not familiar with these horn systems, you have to squeeze the steering wheel rim to activate horn. You don't pound on the center of the steering wheel. This is more graceful than a Mustang. Just squeeze your steering wheel and the horn sounds, its as simple as that. Under rug the car still has the factory sound deadening and it is still DRY underneath when i found the build sheet. Front seats as well as rear look new and are original as well as rug. New door sills have been purchased and installed to give it that new appearance when you open the doors. Moving into the trunk, its DRY and SOLID. Gas tank looks brand new. I bought the factory trunk kit from Ken's Cougars which includes the tail light protectors, trunk extensions on either side and the trunk floor mat. Car still has the factory Jack and lug wrench which are usually LONG gone, but they are here on this car. Even the hold down anchor and wing nut stuck around. Spare holds air. The car still has the period correct and year correct rally rims now with NEW BFG's. Chrome trim rings are great looking and center caps look the same. BOTH chrome bumpers are from West Coast Classic Cougar. I sent them my still good looking cores, but i got show quality chrome shine to match the cars appearance. Front grill was all aligned to match closing headlight doors. All the trim on this car still has great shine and looks amazing. Most of the factory markings that were on different parts of the cars suspension and ball joints were all recreated to factory correct colors from what was found on the build sheet. The build sheet tells you what colors went were on the springs and different parts of the undercarriage. New muffler and pipe from muffler back is brand new as of last week. I have tried to the best of my ability to describe this Cougar accurately and honestly and share any and all information that i know of about the car. PLEASE feel free to call, text or email me with ANY questions, concerns or maybe more photos. I have plenty to share. I just want everyone to be on the same page with this car so no one is unhappy when the car arrives. I can assist in shipping and i usually use Royal Auto Transport. Ameer always gets the job done for me when i give out his information. He is a very competitive and reasonable shipper who i have dealt with for 10 years now. They get the job done and are fast and friendly! If you have any questions you would like a human being to answer about the car, please call ME, Mike and i can fill you in on any and all questions or concerns you may have on this 1969 XR7 Cougar. Have a great day and thanks for looking in on this Cougar. |

More than 800,000 Fords recalled for faulty Takata airbags
Thu, Jan 12 2017The Basics: Ford is recalling about 816,000 Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles built in the US for faulty passenger-side Takata airbags. The affected vehicles were all built in North America, with 654,695 recalled vehicles in the US and 161,174 vehicles in Canada. A wide variety of cars, trucks, and SUVs are affected. This is a planned expansion of an earlier recall. 2005-09 and 2012 Ford Mustang 2005-06 Ford GT 2006-09 and 2012 Ford Fusion 2007-09 Ford Ranger 2007-09 Ford Edge 2006-09 and 2012 Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln MKZ 2007-09 Lincoln MKX 2006-09 Mercury Milan The Problem: Like every other Takata recall, the problem rests with faulty airbags that can potentially expel shrapnel, injuring or killing vehicle occupants. Millions of vehicles from dozens of automakers are affected, so don't think that Ford is alone on this one. Injuries/Deaths: Ford stated in a press release that there have been no injuries or death linked to the vehicles in this recall. All in all, 11 deaths and 180 injuries across a variety of automakers have been linked to these Takata airbags. The fix: Ford will contact owners soon, and the affected vehicles will have their airbags replaced by a dealer at no additional charge. If you own one: Wait for contact from Ford, then head to the dealer to get a replacement. If you're wondering if your vehicle is affected, go to this Ford website and enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The recall reference number is 17S01.

What do you do with a fake Bugatti Veyron for $60k?
Tue, Mar 29 2016Replica cars are a challenging labor of love because builders spend countless hours recreating a vehicle that people immediately compare to the real thing. Perhaps, the person behind this Mercury Cougar-based Bugatti Veyron should look for another way to pass that time. The coupe is currently for sale on eBay Motors for $59,900. The builder deserves some credit because the fiberglass body looks acceptable in the photos from farther away. The car might even fool a few people from a distance. However, the devil is in the details, and the closer you look, the worse this gets. The side intakes are especially rough. The red interior is atrocious. It's essentially the Cougar's cabin but in an eye-searing shade accented with lots of fake carbon fiber. The seller's eBay Motors ad really tries to market the look, though. "You slide in to [sic] this extremely comfortable leather interior and you feel like your bank account just quadrupled in size," the listing says. Don't expect to win any top speed titles in this Veyron replica, either. Rather than a mid-mounted quad-turbo W16, a 3.0-liter V6 from a Mercury Sable sits at the front. Thanks to an upgraded intake and exhaust, the seller claims, "It doesn't sound like your grandmas [sic] Sable." We wish the seller the best of luck, but the asking price of nearly $60,000 is probably too optimistic. We would still think twice about buying it even after taking a zero off that figure, but at least this thing is fun to look at. Related Video:
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
