Here is a great little car that I would trust to go anywhere in the USA. This is my wife's daily driver and she loves the attention she gets driving it. It has way to many new parts to mention. The paint is a Pearl White that is 5 years old. It was a cloudy day and pictures don't do justice. The body does have a few places coming thru the paint but barely noticeable. I am selling at half the cost of the paint job because I must. It is a 1981 Ford Granada GL that I have cloned into a 1981 Mercury Cougar Bostonian because the body style is the same and I liked the Cougars. It is equipped with power brakes, power steering, air conditioning (needs a low pressure hose because it split), hard to find part. It worked great till that happened. Comes with a working AM/FM/ 8 Track Stereo. I will give buyer a few 8 track tapes with the purchase. It has a 200 c.i., 6 cylinder engine a C4 automatic transmission. No leaks and uses no oil between oil changes. It has only had 5W30 Valvoline in her since she was new. I have owned this car many, many years and I am the 3rd owner. just a sample of new parts, headliner, u-joints, brakes all around, rear shocks, alternator voltage regulator, all lights and bulbs, radiator, front end alignment, oil change due in 1500 miles. It does need a dash pad, carpet, cruise control diagham, choke adjusted for cold start, runs rough on cold start but smooths out in 3 minutes. A/C hose, and better seat covers. They are good but not original. This is a turn key car. Buy her and drive her home. Drove her to Columbia, S.C. from Indianapolis and cruised at 75mph and no problems and didn't expect any. She is not a show car but has won several awards. Look at the pictures and make up your own mind and e-mail any questions you may have. If you are in the area, come and check her out. Please call 812-508-4893 for more info if needed. She gets right at 22 MPG. Thanks again. ringo46

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7
Sun, 31 Jul 2011You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.
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.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
