!!UP FOR AUCTION!! 1973 Mercury Cougar
XR7 Convertible w/ 351 Cleveland engine with 4 barrel carburetor VIN: 3F94Q571928 Mileage: 44,505 Miles Up for auction is a 1973 Mercury Cougar XR7 Convertible w/
351 Cleveland engine with 4 barrel carburetor. This car belonged to my
grandfather until he passed away last fall and left it to my brother and
I. He purchased the car BRAND NEW in
1973. It has been garage kept ever since and driven very sparingly, as you can
see by the fact that it only has 44,505 miles! WOW! The car is in very good
condition and is all original (other than aftermarket tape player). Take your
time to look at all the pictures and you will be very happy with this car. Only 3,166 of the 1973 Cougar XR7
Convertibles were produced! The Good: Body condition – You aren’t going to find very many cars
from 1973 that are in anywhere near as good as shape as this vehicle Mileage – WOW! 44,505 miles! These are all original miles.
No modifications or rebuilds have ever been done to this engine. VERY VERY LOW
MILEAGE for a car made in 1973! One Owner – This car was purchased BRAND NEW by my
grandfather in 1973. Garage Kept – This car has been garage kept since the day he
bought it! Convertible Top & Cover – These are both in very good
shape. Convertible top glides right back into place with a flick of the switch
and the cover fits nice and snug for a nice ride. Leather Interior – Leather does show some small signs of
wear, but overall is in very good shape! Trunk – Nice and clean! Spare tire included! ALL ORIGINAL! – Other then the aftermarket cassette tape
player, this car is exactly the way it was when my grandfather brought it home
brand new in 1973! No modifications or rebuilds! All original mileage, and very
very low mileage! Runs great – Fires right up and rides nice and smooth! The Bad: If you have any questions or would like to see some
additional pictures about any of the topics below feel free to email me and I
will get back to you as soon as possible. I intend to paint a clear picture
with my description and pictures as to what the car really looks like. Leather Interior – Shows some signs of wear, but are very
minimal. Overall the leather is still is very good shape. Tires – Needs a new set of tires Rear Passenger Side Panel & Passenger Door Jamb – There
is a very small amount of paint chipping off and a small amount of rust forming
in this area. It is very minimal. It has not rusted through completely and
appears to just be surface rust. Inside Passenger Door Handle – Seems to be hanging down
slightly versus what the handle looks like on the driver’s side door. Still
works just fine though. Clock in middle console – This doesn’t appear to be working
currently. I haven’t attempted to figure out what the problem is. Could be
something very simple, such as a fuse. Driver’s Seat – Small tear leather on the seam on the left
side of the driver’s seat Driver’s Door Pull Handle – I have the handle, but it isn’t
currently attached to the door. The handle has some yellow discoloring to it as
well. Convertible Tops & Cover – These both have some slight
wear, but are still in good shape. Front Driver’s Side Panel – Looks like some splatter of
something from the road and possibly some small amount of paint chipping. Air Conditioning – The car has air conditioning, but it isn’t
currently working. When I had the car looked over when I first took possession
of the car I was told it needed to be recharged. Overall this is an
amazing vehicle. My grandfather took great care of it and made sure that it
would continue to be a great vehicle for somebody to own for years to come. If
I had somewhere to keep it and could afford the insurance and regular upkeep on
it I would love to keep it, but unfortunately without a regular space to keep
it in forever and my first child on the way I must part ways with it
unfortunately. My grandfather has taken great care of this car and now it must
find a new home and a new owner to take just as great of care of it. Should you have any
questions don’t hesitate to contact me and I will get back with you ASAP. I was
only able to upload 24 pictures to the listing, but I have additional pictures
that I can send to anybody at their request. This car is located just outside
of Cincinnati, OH, so if you are interested and would like to see the car in
person feel free to message me and we can setup a meeting. Happy bidding and I
look forward to selling you a great vehicle. Thank you On May-20-14 at 19:46:42 PDT, seller added the following information: Additional Condition Note: It was just pointed out to me, and I apologize for missing this in my condition description, but on the rear passenger side wheel house the chrome strip is no longer in place like it is on the other wheel housing. Thank you |

Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack
Sat, May 30 2015With 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.
Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:
Ford recalls 600,000 older-model sedans for braking issue
Fri, Dec 20 2019Ford is recalling 600,166 older-model Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles over an issue that could affect braking and increase the risk of a crash. The safety recall covers certain Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ sedans from the 2006 through 2010 model years that were built at Ford’s Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico between Feb. 22, 2006, and July 15, 2009. Ford says a valve that is normally closed inside the hydraulic control unit may get stuck in the open position or be slow to close, which could make it harder to engage the brakes and increase risk of a crash. Ford says itÂ’s aware of 15 reports of accidents and two injuries possibly related to the issue. Dealers will inspect the hydraulic control unit for signs of the problem and replace it, if necessary. The dealers will pressure-flush the system with brake fluid and replace the reservoir cap with a new one. Ford is also issuing a small recall of 33 of its 2020 F-150 trucks in the U.S. and 51 in Canada over potentially damaged spare tires. It says the bead area on the tires may have been damaged when it was mounted onto the wheel assembly, leaving it vulnerable to corrosion, separation of the bead wire and ultimately a rapid loss of air pressure and detachment from the wheel. Dealers will replace the spare tire. Affected vehicles were built at the Dearborn Truck Plant from Nov. 10-21 of this year.
