For Sale:
1973 Mercury Cougar XR7 Convertible. This car is complete for the most part, it has rusted rear quarter panels and floor panel ( I have new floor panels) I purchased this car in 2012 , engine starts right up and run, transmission works and car is in driving condition. The engine is a 351 Cleveland 2 barrel. I think it has a FMX transmission (Im not sure it's a C-4) and I know for sure it is not a C-6. It has a 9 inch rear end and I assume it is a plain old common 28 spline non-posi 3:25, like most of them were. The roof covering has minor rip but it doesn't leak, auto roof mechanism work perfect. Trunk locks and latch works. I have driver seat original and rear seat , but also I have two great seat from old BMW that fit perfect. I got all new carpet and new dash board overlay. , I got original wheel caps and all original wheels, front wheels are solid aluminum rims. All chrome is there. I think everything else is there. All roof hardware and components are intact and works perfect. All side glass is intact (It has roll-up windows). Rear Plexiglas is in one piece but is clouded beyond use. The front windshield is in decent condition. All interior panels are there. It has broken fuel pump so installed one aftermarket and runs great. Has Holly carb. Needless to say this car is solid but will need some body work done. I've tried to describe this vehicle as honestly as I can and in NO WAY offer or imply there are any warranties for this vehicle.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti 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.
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
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!
