Year: 1969 Model: Mercury Cougar XR7 428
Convertible VIN #: 9F94Q511416 Description:
Mercury Cougar 1969 428
Convertible (same league as Mustang, Boss, 429, Cobra Jet) For sale is a just-restored Mercury
428 convertible, original color in/out, all numbers
match (engine, frame, transmission), no damage, see original receipt, delivery
papers, and more; this car has a known pedigree and history, which is awesome for a big-block American muscle car. Rare, one of a handful made (see
Marti report); this is the real deal. Neck-snapping gear shifts happen if you step lightly on the gas, growling
engine, unbelievable power and torque, solid and stable even at high speeds, tachometer,
all systems work, original electric power top.
Sold in Sunnyvale, California, and then kept in garage for 20+ years for
restoration after 49,000 or so original miles.
Speedometer shows actual miles. Ten
years ago, I bought it, running and strong, but looking aged, with zero rust. Got it restored
professionally. The car is a beauty, sitting
like slouched big cat that is ready to
pounce. Looks fast and powerful even when sitting still; vacuum-driven dual headlights, really a work of beauty
and art that always turns heads. The looks alone are worth the price. Restored, spent a lot, lost interest, selling to lighten and simplify my life. Great buy
for the daily driver guy who wants a big-block
muscle car and cruise with family, while passing anything on the road. Or
great buy for the restoration/collector guy who wants to take it to a Concours-level finish, and flip it for big bucks on a national
auction. Or, great investment for someone who
wants to keep this car and hold on to it; the value of big American iron like
this, especially with the top down, has only gone up. One of a
handful built, nothing cut, chopped, or altered. All is stock, no leaks. The
dash and gauges still need restoration, but they all work fine. These
legendary muscle cars now have an international demand among the really rich
boys, so this is it, if you want to make money, or just own a piece of history. If you have never driven
a big-block Ford convertible from the 1960’s, do it
once. The awesome engine, sound, torque, rumble,
and feel are like nothing you can buy today, at any price. Come
by, test drive, inspect or have it inspected by
your agent. All questions and doubts must be addressed before
auction close. If you win, $1,000 deposit, no reserve auction, no
buy-it-now, just highest bidder winning this American beauty. Car will pass any safety inspection since I just had it
inspected for registration, but right now it has historic license plates, so I
strongly suggest trailering it to your location and getting an inspection in
your state. |

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
