1973 Mercury Cougar Xr-7 5.8l on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
COUGAR XR7 CONVERTIBLE
This car was found after 28 years stored. There were two Cougars, both convertibles, and I am keeping one for right now. The car required the standard maintenance one would expect, after the long term storage. Items like the fuel tank, sending unit, fuel pump and carb has been rebuilt or replaced. The electrical system is up to original standards and the starting motor has been rebuilt and the battery replaced. The interior photos reveal that there has been no repair to the floors and they lack rust. Additional photos show that the console and interior pieces have been restored to factory standards. The original Firestone Deluxe Champion tires remain on the car and are only good for moving the vehicle from my lot to a trailer. The glass back window convertible top is original and although the glass is good, the canvas should be replaced. I strongly encourage prospective buyer's to call me and make an appointment to view and 'lot drive' the car. Please note certified funds must clear my bank and the clear Florida title will be released to the 'cash' buyer immediately. Please contact me for questions and preview at: (904) 537-4516, Thank you, Tim. I DO NOT ACCEPT PayPal and expect the payment transaction to be completed within seven days. |

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
