1971 Mercury Cougar XR7 2 door coupe.

Equipment includes power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, automatic transmission, am radio (works), 351 with 2 bbl carburetor.

This car is usable as-is, but with some minor cosmetic improvements could make a very nice car. It is complete, but needs a new vinyl top and new door panels. The dash pad is cracked so you may want to do something about it too. Needs a good cleaning. Very minimal amount of rust behind the passenger side wheel well. Has dings, dents, and scrapes. Overall this is a very solid car. Trunk floor and floor pans seem good. Metal under vinyl top is good without any rust issues.

We recently had the following items replaced / maintenance performed on the car: new gas tank, fuel pump, carb has been rebuilt, new plugs, fuel filter, brake rotors and pads, and new headlight dimmer switch.

The turn signals work; however, the left rear signal must be turned on and off manually at the stalk (to make it blink) - sequencer does not work properly. The right side turn signal / sequencer works fine. Horn is not working (have not tried to diagnose). Three of the four hubcaps are included (not shown in photos).

We have taken many pictures of the Cougar but are limited to the number we can include in the listing. So we do have more - please ask for others.

We have a clear title (in our names) and keys.

Mileage indicated in the listing details is not accurate.

E-mail requests for additional pictures. (We have lots more photos but are limited to 12 for this listing.)

There is NO SHIPPING for this car unless you as buyer arrange for it via a third party shipper. This is a running and driving car, but we have not personally driven it any distance so cannot guarantee its roadworthiness.

Buyer is responsible for all costs of delivery/pick up. Seller will cooperate as much as possible regarding pickup.

We are located in Southwest Missouri, within an hour of both Joplin and Springfield, Missouri, near Hwy 60, South of I-44. The zip code for a town nearby is 65605.

Please remember that your bid is a contract. $500 down payment due within 3 days of end of auction. (NO PayPal unless arranged in advance.) 50% of purchase price must be paid within 7 days of auction's end. Balance of payment is due within 14 days of the end of the auction - no exceptions. Time frame for removal is somewhat flexible, but we'd like to have the car picked up within 30 days. (Please give us a couple days' notice before pickup.)

The car is for sale locally so we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It'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.
