1973 Mercury Cougar Xr-7 Convertible on 2040-cars
Kerrville, Texas, United States
|
What a fun car to cruise in. We have loved touring the Texas Hill Country in the Cougar. We just purchased a 2014 Mustang GT Convertible and I am purchasing a 1930 Model A so this Cougar is looking for a new caretaker. This car was built when pride was shown in the products this country produced and it is evident in the way this car runs and drives. Every time you turn the key it fires right up and is ready to cruise. Convertible top works flawlessly. If any down side can be said of this car it would be the radio. It is aftermarket and does not work well. I wanted to find a factory radio and put a ipod style player in the glove box. This car will come with the original tires and wheels with factory hub caps as well as the brand new custom tire and wheels as seen in the pictures. Cougar sets with just the right amount of rake without sacrificing ride quality. Dual exhaust sounds awesome and the engine is strong even with the original 2 barrel setup. And yes the sequential turn signals work great which is one of my favorite attributes of these cars. Car is for sale locally as well so I reserve the right to remove car from auction if sold. Thank you for looking and good luck. Cruising season is here ! |

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 2010Ford 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.
NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
