This stunning Cougar is one of 4,024 XR7 convertibles built for 1969. It has a rare dark aqua metallic exterior/light aqua interior factory color combination (one of 48 in 1969).
The seat leather is original, whereas carpet, mats and tonneau cover are new.
All chrome trim pieces, including bumpers, grill, hood, deck, belt and wheel lip moldings have been re-chromed,
polished and restored.
The white convertible top (power) works well and is in good condition, with one small area showing wear near
driver rear ¼ window. The original top was black.
Under the hood is an M Code 351 Windsor 4V (factory rated at 290 hp SAE gross) connected to an FMX automatic,
both of which are believed to be original to the car.
A high performance Ford 90X-424A intake manifold, comparable to ones installed on Shelby GT350s of the period,
plus a new Edelbrock 600 cfm carb, are installed.
Running Cat valve covers and oval air cleaner dress up the engine compartment.
Magnum 500s (15x7) with aqua running cat centers are a great fit for this special cat.
The car came with factory AC installed, although today the compressor and other AC parts are stored, but come
with car. AC components under dash are ready for connection at firewall.
Recent new parts include heater core, Pertronix electronic ignition, and power steering system with all correct
hoses and other components.
The suspension has been upgraded with new KYB shocks and a 1” competition handling front sway bar.
The clock has been converted to quartz movement and keeps flawless time.
A Concours Series AM/FM radio with AUX jack for connecting iPods and other devices is installed in the stock
location and connected to speakers/grills at the factory door locations.
Restoration work by previous owner included sandblasting of nearly entire body, hot tanking of major body parts
including doors and rear deck, installation of new floor pans, and application of DP-90 and new paint. Previous
owner also rebuilt the engine with mild performance upgrades, rebuilt the transmission and installed new
parts/systems including brakes, aluminum radiator, headlight vacuum motor, driveshaft and exhaust.
Extra parts including interior and exterior trim, the original air cleaner and valve covers, etc. come with the
car.
An aqua XR7 center console armrest pad is available for purchase separately (the installed armrest pad is from
a standard interior).
The gas filler door bezel with cat on black background is from a 1970 Eliminator (not available in 1969). The
wood gearshift handle is rare.
Both rear quarter panel extensions have "dimples" where the extensions have been overtightened from inside the
trunk -- a sad but somewhat common occurrence for these cars.
Service records since purchase by second owner in 1973, and shop manuals, including chassis, wiring and vacuum
hose diagrams, are included.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There 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.
Watch as an out-of-control car demolishes gas pump
Tue, May 2 2017A Baltimore area man was fighting for his life Tuesday after crashing his car into a gas station. According to WBAL, the unidentified 64-year-old lost control of his vehicle for unknown reasons around 4:55 a.m. May 1 in Parkville, Md. The 2007 Mercury Milan careened downhill, ramped over a curb, and smashed full-speed into a gas station pump. The car then flipped and came to rest against one of the station's canopy support pillars. Don Karbowniczek, owner of a service station across the street, told WBAL he was shocked there wasn't more damage. It's also surprising that the car even made it to the pumps, as it had to thread past a coin-op vacuum machine, the station's sign, a utility pole, and a traffic light pole. "It came right through, took some of our bushes out, just trimmed them for us, and how it got through and flip the way it did, I don't know. From what I see on the marks, it had to go airborne and just come down on the pump," Karbowniczek said. Thankfully there was no fire or explosion. Gas pumps have shear valves - safety devices that immediately cut the flow of gasoline when a pump is damaged. The driver was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, and was in critical condition. Police theorized the driver may have become stricken with a health issue when he lost control.
