This is a very nice example of a VERY RARE and hard to find 1970 Cougar XR-7 Convertible. Mercury made less than 2000 of these cars to begin with. It's very difficult to put a price on it insofar is there are very few for sale. These cars usually change hands privately.

This car has a very nice original interior that is amazing considering the car is unrestored. The exterior was repainted in its original hue about 15 years ago, and has few few road miles since then, and is great for a driver. The car is very solid, with all original sheet metal. No patches in any sheet metal, dry floors. This is not a rot box or "bondo buggy". Everything works on this car as well, from the sequential tail lights to the hidden headlights. The car drives straight and rattle free, a true testament to being a original low mileage car. The chrome and brightwork is damn near perfect. Car runs great and needs nothing at this point to drive and enjoy! No need for silly questions about this car. This is as nice as they come in a "unrestored" state.

This car needs nothing to drive and enjoy. More pictures and video coming shortly. Note- I have the spare tire, jack, and all fiberboard panels for the trunk, I just removed them to show potential buyers the immaculate condition of the trunk, including factory paint in trunk. I am a avid Mercury collector, and you DONT see trunks this nice, ever.

Haggerty price guide values the car at $26,000 in #3 condition...I'm going to discount that price substantially.

PRICE IS NON NEGOTIABLE...THIS IS THE LOWEST AMOUNT I WILL ACCEPT...

Try and FIND another.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.

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.
