1969 Ford Mercury Xr7 Cougar Great Resto Project Or Mustang Donor Car! Rust Free on 2040-cars
Newport Beach, California, United States
This 1969 XR7 Cougar would make a great restoration project or a donor car for a Dynacorn new body Mustang. This car has spent its life in sunny So California so it doesn't have any rust other than surface rust. A VERY original survivor car that has never been modified or disassembled. It still retains nearly all its factory parts in very good to excellent condition. Lots of high value parts if it's parted out. Would make a great resto mod too! Since this is an XR7, it is fully loaded: 351 Windsor 2V. 9" Rear Axle, Complete Power Steering system, Complete A/C system, Complete Power Disc Brake calipers including Bendix booster and orig Bendix master cylinder. Engine is complete except for carb & air cleaner. I sold the radiator, seq. box & console already, otherwise the car is complete. All these systems are identical to a 1969 Mustang. Deluxe interior group includes: Tach Gauge package, Power windows/locks, Tilt Steering Column with Rim blow wheel. A/C, Deluxe door panels & upholstery. Clock panel, Map Light. Original color I believe is Indian Fire (Burnt Orange, same color as the show car pictured). Black vinyl roof. This XR7 has never been wrecked or in a crash, The frame is very straight. The whole front clip is perfect, no damage. The hood is nearly flawless as are the bumpers, grille, fenders, RH door, quarter panels & deck lid. Somebody kicked in the drivers door and broke the glass but it's fixable. Dent in roof and at RH qtr end cap. otherwise the body is in excellent condition. If you need a donor car for a Dynacorn Mustang body, this is the perfect car for that. All the systems are an exact match for a 1969 Mustang. |

Does Lincoln Zephyr trademark mean a return to real names?
Wed, May 25 2016Lincoln's long history includes many legendary names, and despite its short life, Zephyr retains a spot in that pantheon. Perhaps its will return once again: Ford Motor Co. applied to trademark Zephyr on May 11. Trademark filings can have ambiguous meanings, and often they're legal plays to get or keep the rights to a name. But in the last year, we've seen signs Lincoln is looking to use real names on its vehicles again. Obviously, it's keeping Navigator for its flagship sport-utility vehicle with a new model due next year. Reprising Continental for the MKS replacement was also well received. That said, Lincoln still uses the MKX and MKC "names" for its crossovers. Zephyr is a dustier moniker. It was used in the 1930s and '40s on a mid-level model spearheaded by Edsel Ford. The stylishly aerodynamic model was set between the Ford V8 De Luxe and more expensive Lincolns. It returned in 2006 as the Lincoln version of the Ford Fusion before that model was renamed MKZ. Mercury also used Zephyr on its version of the Ford Fairmont in the late 1970s and early '80s. Ford last held a trademark on the Zephyr name in 2013. The filing says Ford seeks to use Zephyr for "motor vehicles and parts and accessories therefor." That could mean a new car — or just parts. Putting the Zephyr badge back on the MKZ is the most likely bet. Meanwhile, Ford also moved to get the Thunderbird trademark on May 11 for the same vehicles and parts purpose, and it filed for the Mustang trademark for shampoo and lotions on May 4. A Lincoln spokesman said, "In the normal course of our business, we file trademarks for names," but had no further information. Related Video:
Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
