1967 Mercury Cougar Xr-7 4.7l, Excellent Project on 2040-cars
Magnolia, Texas, United States
67 Mercury Cougar XR-7 project car for sale. If you are a Cougar fan then this project is for you. What you are bidding on is a very complete highly optioned first year production Cougar XR-7. This car has always been a California and southern car and therefore has very little rust to worry about. Floors, aprons, doors, hood, deck lid, rockers, torque boxes, fenders all rust free. Car is overall about 95% rust free with the only issues some minor issues around wheel openings on quarters. The inner and outer wheel houses are rock solid and the quarters are most definitely salvageable. There is also one spot on the passenger side trunk drop. Other than that this car is bone dry. I purchased this car from a guy in Alabama with the intention of making a Gurney/Bud Moore Trans Am replica and after getting the car I have come to the realization that this car is too nice to chop up. First of all it is a highly optioned car with the XR 7 package, power disc brakes, A code 4bl 289, A/C, and Power steering. The previous owner completely dissembled the car and every part that he removed comes with the car with most parts very organized and tagged. He also took about a hundred pictures of the disassembly as this was his first restoration attempt. I remember doing this too about 30 cars ago! The car was a running, driving car when he took it apart. There was a 302 in the car when he took it apart but was intent on restoring the car to original so he found a correct date coded 289 4BL that is currently sitting in the car. In addition to the parts removed from the car there are a number of new and reconditioned parts that will come with the car. There is a completely refurbished wood grain XR 7 dash for example. There is even a few NOS parts like chrome moldings etc. The car retains a lot of the original Lime Frost paint and as I have said is straight and solid. The interior is Dark Ivy leather and the seats need recovering. Door panels, rear trim are in very good condition. Dash pad is toast and will need a headliner. It will come with two working AM Cougar radios and an assortment of new in the box trim parts. I am sure I have forgotten something so feel free to ask questions. I will have everything that you see (and don't see) packed in the car for shipment. The car is located outside of Houston TX about 25 miles north of the airport. In summary this is a great project for just about anyone including a novice since there is so much documentation to the tear down. More importantly the staring platform is a very good one being rust free and highly optioned. I will be happy to speak to bidders directly if you will send me your number. Good luck!

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford 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.
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.
Is this '47 Chevrolet a rat rod or a sports car?
Sun, May 22 2016These days there are plenty of vehicles that blur the conventional automotive class structures. For instance, was the Honda Crosstour a wagon or an SUV? And what exactly was the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet? Regardless, those line-blurring cars (or trucks) are out there, and though this one didn't roll off a production line, it's still quite the automotive head-scratcher. Hailing from Missouri, this epic creation is one part mad science experiment, one part 1947 Chevrolet pickup, and one part '95 Mercury Cougar. Add it all up and you get an awesome truck-sports-car hybrid, complete with an outrageous wing and a V8 to boot. And interestingly enough, it's up for sale . RELATED: Check out this Wild-Styled Lamborghini Rat Rod So how does it all come together? According to the listing, the Chevrolet truck cab (which had previously been chopped) was sanded down to bare metal and given a thorough shellacking of clear coat. It was then melded together with the front end of a 1995 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck, and set low to the ground on Bilstein suspension drop spindles. Stance achieved. But instead of fielding an engine from either of those pickups, it pulls its heart from a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV—a big 5.3-liter V8 heart, that is. It comes backed-up to a GM Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Towards the rear however is where things get really interesting. A Copper Pearl coated tube frame chassis both attaches the rear independent suspension (a la Mercury Cougar) to the racy spoiler, as well as secures the rat rod's rear-mounted radiator, fan, and fuel tank. I'm not quite sure why, but it just looks glorious. RELATED: Reports Say Mid-Engine Corvette Will Arrive in 2018 Inside the vintage cab, the Chevrolet furthers its racing proclivities (it's said to have won burnout and auto-cross events) with a pair of harnessed racing seats, a drift brake, a detachable steering wheel, and a tachometer with oil and temperature gauges, but oddly no speedometer. The shifter is a crescent wrench. And its shift boot? That's a Crown Royal Purple bag. All in all, this grin-worthy Frankenstein creation tallies up bits and pieces from four different vehicles (five if you include the Camaro wheels), which make it truly a mash-up of epic proportions.
