Cougar Xr7 Factory Black 3-speed Power Disc Brakes on 2040-cars
College Park, Maryland, United States
|
Original 1968 Cougar XR7 with 3-speed transmission and power front disc brakes. Rare factory black with saddle XR7 interior (1 of 263 per Cougar By The Numbers). Good floors and frame rails. Excellent battery tray, shock towers and engine side panels. Doors close good. Decent glass with no cracks. Some rust in torgue boxes (see pictures) and some rust in lower rear quarters (especially passenger side) and trunk drops. Solid trunk floors. Original sheet metal and nice front grill. Original 302 engine long gone. Has a 1970 351 4V Cleveland heads and 1972 block in it from the 1980s that was rebuilt but piston size was incorrect causing motor to seize after a few miles due to tight pistons. Then never put back on the road. The heads were taken off at that time but never reinstalled and placed back on the road, so the car sat in a garage for 30-years. Good headers and dual exhaust. Nice thick rear sway bar installed just like a 1970 Boss 302 Mustang. Been sitting for years so needs work to run again. No drive shaft, radiator or carb. Whats you see is what you get. Looks like solid original paint. No factory vinyl top! Make a nice project in Darth Vader black. Factory door tag and window VIN plates in place. Clean Maryland title. I reserve the right to end auction early. Sold "as is" and I expect full payment in 10-days. No Reserve!

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
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.
