This is a 1971 mercury cougar convertible that I inherited over 7 years ago it belonged to my uncle who passed away but had purchased it and it sat in his garage for five years before I got it he started it frequently and rolled it in and out of his garage to make sure nothing locked up then I got it and put it in a storage unit and that's where it has sat for the last seven years
I had no plans to sell it but have no choice so here's the deal my husband broke his back five years ago and we have dwindled through our savings just to make ends meat and I have fallen back on my storage unit payments and the guys not going to wait any longer so I have no choice but to sell it my unit is locked so I don't have original pictures but I will be as detailed as I possibly can so you know what your getting
This car is nice its red and has a complete body the motor ran as I drove it into storage but probably needs a full run through as far as the motors concerned it also has 89,000 original miles on it it might be 86,000 but I'm guaranteeing its not over 89,000
The interior needs some work if I remember correctly my uncle ripped the rug out and never got a chance to replace it but he removed the seats in the process and those are still out but come with the car the body is in decent shape for its age he did start the work around the rear fenders but could still use some work on the floor as there's holes in it but the frame is still solid this car will need to be flat bedded as the tires are probably locked from sitting but this is defiantly a diamond in the rough
I have the original paperwork on it which is a registration and a bill of sale as there was no title for the vehicle back then
I have shown you pictures of what the car originally looked like and what the car is worth if you have anymore questions please feel free to text me at 716-440-9353 and I will help in anyway I can
Like I said the car is in storage so if it takes you a little while to come get it I will have until the end of August to clear it out otherwise it'll be $100 a month for storage which isn't bad but as soon as the car is paid for I'm going to pay my storage bill so you don't have to worry about it going anywhere I will also provide proof after payment if you want as I am not here to scam anyone I just want to get out of a situation I'm in with the storage company and finally get it out of there as I've been paying $100 a month for the last eight years which is alot of money in itself and I know ill never get that out of it
Thanks for reading & happy bidding

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls
Tue, 04 Nov 2014
Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
