This was my grandfather's 1971 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Convertible that he had since new. My dad was a licensed mechanic before he retired and kept the car maintained since the original warranty expired. My grandfather passed recently and left the car to me for having been accepted to the University of Miami. I titled and registered the car in my name and drove it to school on the cooler days last fall, and occasionally to weekly car meets, but the car never sat for extended periods of time, my dad insisted it be run regularly to continue to run well. Everything on the car is original, and in excellent condition for its age. The car has a 351 Cleveland and C6 automatic transmission with factory dual exhaust, power brakes that really stop the car, and power steering. It has the original chrome Cougar wheels with all the center caps and a new set of Cooper Radial tires, and had the front end alignment done too about 7 months ago. The interior is perfect, with no rips, tears or cracking areas of any of the seats, a new carpet, working power windows, tilt wheel and am/fm radio. The top is white, in good condition and doesn't have any holes or tears, and has a glass rear windshield, and goes up and down pretty fast. The car runs good, my dad and grandfather wouldn't have let me drive it with my girlfriends if it wasn't dependable. My grandfather kept the car in a garage its whole life, and I've been able to store it in the same garage so the car really doesn't have any rust. I'm in my last year of college and want to sell the car to pay for school, and I want to start keeping my new car in the garage. If you buy the car, I will be able to store it for you while you arrange shipping. I will try to answer your questions as best I can, and will consult my dad to give the best answers possible. If you have many questions and want to speak with my dad directly please message me a phone number and a good time to call and I will have him call you. Below is a video showing off the car. If there are any problems for any reason viewing the video please message me and I can send you a direct link to it on YouTube. The car is also being advertised locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday

Mon, 04 Oct 2010

Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.

Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack

Sat, May 30 2015

With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.
