RARE 1969 MERCURY COUGAR XR7 CONVERTIBLE!!

Only 4250 of these cars ever made and even less made in the bright Metallic blue with white top!

Engine is a 351 Windsor with 4 barrel carburetor and automatic transmission. Car has performance handling group option, electric windows, power steering and tilt away steering wheel, sports console and tinted glass options. See copy of the original build sheet in pictures.

Odometer reads 80,490 miles, but there are less than 200 miles on the rebuilt engine. Transmission has been rebuilt as well. There is new leather interior, new tires and wheels, new ford battery, new taillight sending unit, new bumpers, new top, and many more new parts. The headlights and molding were restored and all restoration was to original condition. Originally a Southern car, the body is rust free and in great condition. I also have a number of extra parts that will be included with the car.

This car is about 98% complete. It needs the air-conditioning hooked up and other minor tweaking to be a competition award winning car. The passenger rear window recently become stuck in the down position and I have not had time to fix it. The motor for it is working.

I am selling this car, because I do not have time for it and rather than sit in my garage I'd like to see it go to someone who would enjoy it. I am willing to transport the car 100 miles, but if the buyer wants it delivered and it is more than 100 miles please message me BEFORE bidding to discuss the additional cost. Otherwise, the buyer must pick the car up and have paid for the car in full before it will be released.

A $1,500 non-refundable down payment is required within 48 hours of the end of the auction. The down payment can be made through paypal, but full payment in the form of a cashiers check is due before car and title will be released. Pick-up and full payment are expected within a week of the end of the auction. This car is in great condition, but does not come with any type of warranty expressed or implied. The buyer purchases this car as is.

Overseas buyers are ok, but above requirements still apply.

If you have any other questions or concerns please message before bidding.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

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.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
