!!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 |

NHTSA investigating Ford's solution to May 2014 power steering recall
Tue, Apr 7 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a complaint that Ford's response to a May 2014 recall of the 2008 to 2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner doesn't quite go far enough to solve a troubling power-steering problem. Roughly a year ago, Ford recalled nearly a million vehicles after it was found that a problem with the torque sensor's communication with the power steering control module could cut steering assistance for drivers. While manual steering would still be available, the problem was enough to ask drivers to report in to have the PSCM inspected, and if necessary, replaced (along with the torque sensor, or in dramatic cases, the entire steering column). That would only happen, though, if trouble codes were being thrown. If there weren't any problems, dealers were told to simply update the PSCM's software so that any issues between it and the torque sensor would simply throw a visual and audio warning – power steering would still be maintained. The petitioner claimed that following the recall work, he still experienced a problem with the torque sensor. According to NHTSA, a claim was made that Ford didn't go far enough in its solution to the problem, and that "the software update itself may in fact cause further issues with the affected vehicle's power steering, causing it to fail, and ultimately requiring replacement of the torque sensor or entire steering column." The petition was filed in early February and is now officially being looked into by NHTSA.
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.
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.
