Matching numbers 1973 Cougar XR7 with a 351 Cleveland.
The vehicle is by no means fully restored as it needs a few things but read on to find out why this is a steal of a deal! 

I am all about being upfront and honest so that people 
No worries I have the CLEAN, UNBRANDED title in hand. This Classic piece of American Muscle shows 83k miles on the Odometer and anyone who knows anything about older vehicles knows that the Odometer can "roll over" meaning the vehicle COULD technically have 183k miles but THIS vehicle was stored for 9 1/2 years so there is a very very strong chance that it truly is 83k miles.

What I have done since I got the car:
Brand New Fuel Pump
Brand New Accelerator pump gasket
Brand New Battery
Brand New Fuel Filter
Brand New Plugs
Brand New Plug Wires
Brand New Distributor Cap

I also have a newly ordered (not installed)XR7 Rear Seat (pictured)

As pictured I also have the Original American Racing Wheels.

Factory AC and Heat BOTH work great!!

The TLC needed for full restoration if desired:
The Brakes need to be done, they are functional at best.
The front seats should be reupholstered (it's a matter of preference) 
It also obviously needs paint.
There is Very Very minimal body damage and it is all on the front of the body on the driver side front corner panel which, as you can see, is almost un-noticeable.
Lastly it needs a carpet kit. 



Thanks for looking, Feel free to send questions.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford 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.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7

Sun, 31 Jul 2011

You 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.
