Up for sale this week is a gorgeous 1969 MERCURY COUGAR XR7 with the original matching numbers drive train. Bought from a elderly gentleman, this one owner 91,642 cream puff has been garaged and babied its entire life.
The 351W motor with a FMX transmission which was rebuilt by previous owner and everything runs, shifts and drives like it should. THIS CAR LEAKS NOTHING!!!!!!! What's that worth to you? The timing chain was replaced last month as well as the steering ram. New disc brake rotors and pads up front were installed professionally and the rear drums were turned and new shoes and wheel cylinders were done as well. The brake booster and master cylinder got replaced by previous owner. The heater core on this car has been replaced too. If you are not aware of these heater cores, most of the dash has to come out to do the job. This heater core has been replaced and leaks nothing. Nice warm heater with NO leakage inside on rug. The distributor has had the points removed and a Pertronix ingnition was put in for reliability. New battery, alternator, plugs wires, water pump, belts and hoses and starter too. The exterior of the car was ground down to bare metal, metal conditioned and then self etched primer was applied. Then the car was DP-90 which is a sealer and 5 coats of high build primer was applied. The car was then block sanded to get car straight and then 3 more coats of high build primer and finish sanded to 400 prior to painting. Then the base coat/clear coat was applied in light green which is the factory color. Car looks amazingly stunning!!!!!!!!!!! A NEW vinyl top was professionally installed and the rare vinyl top trim was re installed. These trim pieces look amazing on the car! A rare option for the car. When the top was put on, both the front and rear windows were removed to do job right in installing the vinyl top. New rear rubber seal around rear window was used when they re installed the window. I found the factory build sheet under the passenger side front feet area. Very cool to find. Plus the factory check list sheet that gets checked off prior to leaving factory. That was found in the rear passenger feet area. Also fun to find this many years since the car was built Inside the car is like a time capsule. Dash has NO cracks. All the gauges work including the LOW GAS light. Tachometer works well. Heater and wipers work on all speeds and the headlights open and close without fail. Plus they stay DOWN when your done driving. Most of the factory tags are still on the car. Rear end tag, transmission tag, power pump ram has tag still on as well as carb. Even the seat belt warning light works as well as door open buzzer while key is in ignition. TILT A WAY steering still works when you turn car off. Also a tilt column. Has the Deluxe Horn Rim steering wheel as well which works with out fail. If you are not familiar with these horn systems, you have to squeeze the steering wheel rim to activate horn. You don't pound on the center of the steering wheel. This is more graceful than a Mustang. Just squeeze your steering wheel and the horn sounds, its as simple as that. Under rug the car still has the factory sound deadening and it is still DRY underneath when i found the build sheet. Front seats as well as rear look new and are original as well as rug. New door sills have been purchased and installed to give it that new appearance when you open the doors. Moving into the trunk, its DRY and SOLID. Gas tank looks brand new. I bought the factory trunk kit from Ken's Cougars which includes the tail light protectors, trunk extensions on either side and the trunk floor mat. Car still has the factory Jack and lug wrench which are usually LONG gone, but they are here on this car. Even the hold down anchor and wing nut stuck around. Spare holds air. The car still has the period correct and year correct rally rims now with NEW BFG's. Chrome trim rings are great looking and center caps look the same. BOTH chrome bumpers are from West Coast Classic Cougar. I sent them my still good looking cores, but i got show quality chrome shine to match the cars appearance. Front grill was all aligned to match closing headlight doors. All the trim on this car still has great shine and looks amazing. Most of the factory markings that were on different parts of the cars suspension and ball joints were all recreated to factory correct colors from what was found on the build sheet. The build sheet tells you what colors went were on the springs and different parts of the undercarriage. New muffler and pipe from muffler back is brand new as of last week. I have tried to the best of my ability to describe this Cougar accurately and honestly and share any and all information that i know of about the car. PLEASE feel free to call, text or email me with ANY questions, concerns or maybe more photos. I have plenty to share. I just want everyone to be on the same page with this car so no one is unhappy when the car arrives. I can assist in shipping and i usually use Royal Auto Transport. Ameer always gets the job done for me when i give out his information. He is a very competitive and reasonable shipper who i have dealt with for 10 years now. They get the job done and are fast and friendly! If you have any questions you would like a human being to answer about the car, please call ME, Mike and i can fill you in on any and all questions or concerns you may have on this 1969 XR7 Cougar. Have a great day and thanks for looking in on this Cougar. |

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.
The AM37 is literally the Aston Martin of boats
Wed, Sep 28 2016While sports car companies such as Porsche and Lamborghini are looking to SUVs to expand their offerings, Aston Martin has taken a page from Mercedes and designed a boat. Specifically, it's a 37-foot powerboat appropriately named the AM37. The boat was developed with help from Mulder Design and Quintessence Yachts, and is available in two different versions, both of which should the aquatic equivalent of Aston Martin performance. The standard AM37 is available with two different pairs of engines from Mercury, either 370-horsepower diesel engines or 450-horsepower gas engines. If that's not enough, Aston also offers the AM37S, which comes with a pair of 520-horsepower gasoline Mercury engines. Like road-going Astons, this boat is absolutely gorgeous. The lines are simple, crisp and clean. It features a beautiful wood deck, and an impressive double-curved, single-piece glass windshield. And if you get tired of the sun, the AM37 features a powered, carbon fiber bimini top. The interior completes the package with a carbon fiber dashboard, lots of leather and polished steering wheel, throttle and joystick. It's also incredibly well-equipped with seating for eight, air conditioning, mood lighting, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, a bed that folds out from the table, and even a bathroom. Aston Martin didn't release pricing or availability for the AM37. However, we suspect that if you really want this boat and have the means, pricing doesn't matter, and you're probably willing to wait.

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7
Sun, 31 Jul 2011You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.
