This is a 1971 mercury cougar convertible that I inherited over 7 years ago it belonged to my uncle who passed away but had purchased it and it sat in his garage for five years before I got it he started it frequently and rolled it in and out of his garage to make sure nothing locked up then I got it and put it in a storage unit and that's where it has sat for the last seven years
I had no plans to sell it but have no choice so here's the deal my husband broke his back five years ago and we have dwindled through our savings just to make ends meat and I have fallen back on my storage unit payments and the guys not going to wait any longer so I have no choice but to sell it my unit is locked so I don't have original pictures but I will be as detailed as I possibly can so you know what your getting
This car is nice its red and has a complete body the motor ran as I drove it into storage but probably needs a full run through as far as the motors concerned it also has 89,000 original miles on it it might be 86,000 but I'm guaranteeing its not over 89,000
The interior needs some work if I remember correctly my uncle ripped the rug out and never got a chance to replace it but he removed the seats in the process and those are still out but come with the car the body is in decent shape for its age he did start the work around the rear fenders but could still use some work on the floor as there's holes in it but the frame is still solid this car will need to be flat bedded as the tires are probably locked from sitting but this is defiantly a diamond in the rough
I have the original paperwork on it which is a registration and a bill of sale as there was no title for the vehicle back then
I have shown you pictures of what the car originally looked like and what the car is worth if you have anymore questions please feel free to text me at 716-440-9353 and I will help in anyway I can
Like I said the car is in storage so if it takes you a little while to come get it I will have until the end of August to clear it out otherwise it'll be $100 a month for storage which isn't bad but as soon as the car is paid for I'm going to pay my storage bill so you don't have to worry about it going anywhere I will also provide proof after payment if you want as I am not here to scam anyone I just want to get out of a situation I'm in with the storage company and finally get it out of there as I've been paying $100 a month for the last eight years which is alot of money in itself and I know ill never get that out of it
Thanks for reading & happy bidding

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill 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 announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America

Wed, May 27 2015

Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

Ford finds flex-fuel engine design plays big role in emissions output

Mon, Jan 6 2014

How bad is ethanol for your engine? There's been a lot of debate on this issue as the US considers upping the biofuel content in the national gasoline supply from 10 percent (E10) to 15 percent (E15). The ethanol industry and some scientists say higher ethanol blends show no "meaningful differences" in new engines while the oil industry says ethanol creates health risks. Researchers working at the Ford Research and Innovation Center decided to take a closer look at how a wide range of gas-ethanol blends - E0, E10, E20, E30, E40, E55 and E80 - affected the emissions coming out of a flex-fuel 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. To see the full report, printed in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, requires payment, but there is an abstract and Green Car Congress has some more details. The gist is that, "with increasing ethanol content in the fuel, the tailpipe emissions of ethanol, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, methane, and ammonia increased." At least NOx and NMHC emissions decreased. The researchers say that the effects are due to the fuel and "are expected for all FFVs," but that the way that a manufacturer calibrates the engine will affect NOx, THC, and NMOG emissions. It's this last bit that's important, since the researchers found, "Higher ethanol content in gasoline affects several fundamental fuel properties that can impact emissions. ... These changes can have positive or negative effects that can depend on engine design, hardware, and control strategy. In addition to direct emissions impacts, higher ethanol content fuel can also provide more efficient combustion and overall engine operation under part-load conditions and under knock-limited higher-load conditions." So, as we head towards more ethanol in our fuel supply (maybe), manufacturers are going to need to learn how to burn it most efficiently.
