I have a 1973 Mercury Cougar XR 7 Convertible in good solid condition for your consideration. The car runs great I just had it out on the freeway and drove solid for 50 miles at 75mph. The tranny shifts out nice it is newly professionally rebuilt. The 351 Cleveland engine power packed. The power top motor just went out. The previous owner did redo the interior and it is very nice so is the carpet. The floor of the the trunk is solid(see pics).The top is new.....the paint is NEW! The chrome is very good(see pics) and all the glass is intact and not cracked. The body one small rust bubble on the passenger door. The underside of the car is solid, floor pans are solid. The car has no fluid leaks at all. Here is what I have done:

1. Replaced drivers side rear tail light lens very rare to find in this nice shape.

2. Replaced radio with 8 track player that works, people love to hear it play

3. Tranny is newly rebuilt in August.

4. New rear axle seals with pinion seal

5. Replaced hood ornament

5. Blinkers now work but not sequentially

6. Brake lights did not work now they do.

7. Convertible release handle is new.

8. Fuel gauge is not working, all others do.

9. New trunk lock

10. New lower radiator hose.

11. Carb is new

12. Battery is new

13. Coil is new

14. Brand new paint

15 All the lights work.

So look at my pics and ask me any questions. Buyer is responsible for pick up. I have a great shipper if you need him. Call me at 210-842-1447. There are no warranties and I have described as best as I can. Opinions vary and mine is one of a non-purist, non-perfectionist. So do not bid if you are a purist. Bid if you want a good car to keep for years to come. The car is for sale locally so I can end this auction at any time. I have added new pictures from underneath the car and the trunk and the body and panel gauges. You can see the car is pretty solid underneath as is the body. This is the Base model, you can install AC very easily to the pulleys and mount a compressor. I have a set of headers that will go to the buyer. FMX tranny is good to go.

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday

Mon, 04 Oct 2010

Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.

Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack

Sat, May 30 2015

With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.
