 This is a one owner car and yes the mileage is correct  ONLY 17,167.  I bought this car new in 1997 with the notion that I would be keeping it for a very long time as a classic.   Kids are getting older and college costs money - so sadly I must part with my beloved Cougar.

'97 was the last year Mercury made this style Cougar XR7.  It has NEVER seen a snow flake or salt and only a drop or two of rain.  I drove this car usually on sunny days to the golf course or out to dinner.  It is original, except for deep tinted windows and chrome accents over the wheels. I did have a paint-less dent removal company remove a couple dings that I did not like, but you can not tell where they were now.  This car still smells new.  I have all original paperwork, including the window sticker.  Here is the equipment:

Safety/Security

  • Driver/Passenger Air Bags
  • Side Impact Door Beams
  • Side Window Demisters
  • 3-Point Safety Belts
  • Courtesy Lights
  • Rear Seat Outboard Shoulder Harnesses
  • 5 MPH bumpers

Functional

  • Electronic Engine Controls
  • Independent RR Suspension
  • 4 Wheel Disc Brakes
  • PWR Rack & Pinion Steering
  • Gas Front/Rear shocks
  • Front/Rear Stabilizer Bar
  • CFC Free A/C

  • Tilt Steering Column
  • Interval Windshield Wipers
  • Mechanical Instruments w/ Tach
  • Rear Fold Down Arm Rest
  • Power Windows/Illuminated Switches
  • Dual Visor Mirrors

Optional Equipment

  • Preferred Equipment PKG 262A, Included:
    • Electric Rear Window Defroster
    • Front Floor Mats
    • Fingertip Speed Control
    • Power Lock Group
    • 6-Way Power Driver & Passenger Seats

    • Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel
    • Leather Interior
    • 4.6L Overhead Cam EFI
    • P225/60R16 BSW Touring Tires
    • Power Moon Roof
    • Decklid Spoiler
    • Keyless Entry
    • Anti-theft System
    • Traction Lock Axle
    • Autolamp
    • Auto A/C
    • Premium Electronic AM/FM/CD Player
    • California Emission System

This has been a great car for me.  There are a couple of scratches on the bumpers and the under carriage suffered a dent under the driver's side, but it has NO effect on the cars performance or outward appearance, you have to own it to know it.  If your a Cougar XR7 fan and want to experience a smooth ride and powerful acceleration in a "showroom" condition car from 1997, this is the car for you.  I don't believe there is another one like it out there for sale and in this condition with such low miles.  I also have the original sales brochure.

Full Payment must be made within 48 hours of a successful bid.  Buyer must remove vehicle from its current location within 7 days of payment.  All shipping costs and fees are at Buyer's expense.  No warranty is made as to this vehicle.  Buyer is purchasing the vehicle "where is" and "as is".  Failure of Buyer to make FULL PAYMENT within 48 hours of being the successful bidder will result in forfeiture of Buyer's deposit and the vehicle may be re-listed. This vehicle is also being made available for sale locally, so Seller reserves the right to cancel this auction at anytime and for any reason.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Thu, 24 Feb 2011

Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

What do you do with a fake Bugatti Veyron for $60k?

Tue, Mar 29 2016

Replica cars are a challenging labor of love because builders spend countless hours recreating a vehicle that people immediately compare to the real thing. Perhaps, the person behind this Mercury Cougar-based Bugatti Veyron should look for another way to pass that time. The coupe is currently for sale on eBay Motors for $59,900. The builder deserves some credit because the fiberglass body looks acceptable in the photos from farther away. The car might even fool a few people from a distance. However, the devil is in the details, and the closer you look, the worse this gets. The side intakes are especially rough. The red interior is atrocious. It's essentially the Cougar's cabin but in an eye-searing shade accented with lots of fake carbon fiber. The seller's eBay Motors ad really tries to market the look, though. "You slide in to [sic] this extremely comfortable leather interior and you feel like your bank account just quadrupled in size," the listing says. Don't expect to win any top speed titles in this Veyron replica, either. Rather than a mid-mounted quad-turbo W16, a 3.0-liter V6 from a Mercury Sable sits at the front. Thanks to an upgraded intake and exhaust, the seller claims, "It doesn't sound like your grandmas [sic] Sable." We wish the seller the best of luck, but the asking price of nearly $60,000 is probably too optimistic. We would still think twice about buying it even after taking a zero off that figure, but at least this thing is fun to look at. Related Video:
