Up for auction is a 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7. This car will be a great restoration project or parts car. This is a complete car but is rusty. I have not done a close inspection but I have seen rust in the quarters, doors, floors, shock tower tops, torque boxes. Frame rails seem to be solid. This Cougar was a daily driver until 2009 when it was parked. It will run if you keep a supply of fuel to the carburetor but will not pump from the tank. There is a brake leak somewhere and a water hose leak. Engine and transmission appear to be in good working order. I purchased this car as an investment to resell and is listed at a fair price. The 2bbl carburetor and intake was replaced with a 4bbl Carter AFB Carburetor. Wheels are Ford Steel with hubcaps (3, missing one). The previous owner drove it from 1994 until 2004, then occasionally started/moved it until 2009. I am willing to deliver the car up to 300 miles from my home at $1.00 per mile ROUND TRIP. Rate to be calculated before delivery via Google Maps. I would prefer local pickup in Jeffersonville, IN. Please ask questions before you bid or give me a call at 502-445-3993 to discuss the car. VIN and Door Tag information is below. Happy bidding - Jeff

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill 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!
Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.
