SELLER REMARKS

You probably saw the price on this clean 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 and did a double take; I know I did. Somehow the Mustang's grown-up cousin doesn't seem to get the same kind of attention that the more common ponies do, and it's hard to explain why. With V8 power, lots of luxury options, and a sporting look that fits the car's personality perfectly, this represents a great deal of top-down fun for the money.

The Cougar certainly has all the right muscle car details for the era, and it walks with big car swagger that the Mustang has never quite managed to capture. The styling is familiar, if not a little more sophisticated, from the subtle body crease running from the front fender to the rear wheel opening to the hidden headlights that were definitely more Lincoln than Ford. The bright red paint certainly looks right on the sporty ragtop, and the XR7 package included the stripes, hood scoop, and wing out back, adding some definite bravado to Mercury's pony car. Finish quality is quite good for an older restoration, with good gaps and a great shine that'll win more than its fair share of admirers at the next cruise night. A few extra dollops of chrome, including the gorgeous sequential taillights with their chrome surrounds, and this car manages to look both sporting and elegant at the same time, which was entirely the point.

We strongly suspect that the white interior is original, and if that's the case it tells you all you need to know about how well-preserved this car truly is. The high-back bucket seats look a lot more plus than the Mustang's chairs and while there's some minor wear, the overall look is just too nice to consider replacing. Power options include factory A/C, power windows, and a tilt wheel, and it's got a cutting-edge (for the time, anyway) AM/FM/cassette stereo that actually sounds pretty good. Lots of burled walnut appliques give the interior a very upscale vibe and the rocker switches on the dash are just plain cool. The gauges are in excellent condition including the factory tach, which is a rather rare item all by itself, and the white power convertible top fits well and includes a matching white boot. Even the trunk is nicely finished with a correct mat and a full-sized spare.

Somehow the 351 cubic inch Cleveland V8 feels smoother than it does in a Mustang, and it moves the sleek ragtop with effortless ease. The top side of the engine bay is dominated by the big Ford Blue air cleaner and A/C compressor, plus a set of finned valve covers to dress it up a little bit. Turn the key and it starts easily and pulls with a great V8 rumble from the dual exhaust system. Backed by an FMX 3-speed automatic transmission and 3.00 gears out back, it's a superlative highway cruiser that easily lives up to the performance image it wears. The underside is unquestionably original, but thanks to a life somewhere dry, it doesn't have the issues that northern cars always face and you won't have any qualms about putting this one on the road every chance you get. Stylish styled steel wheels should look familiar to any Ford fan, with this car rolling on Cooper white-letter radials.

This is a heck of a lot of car for not a lot of money, and it's only a matter of time before Cougar prices join the Mustang's upward march. In the meantime, you can be enjoying one of the best luxury/performance machines of the era. Call now!

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
