!!UP FOR AUCTION!! 1973 Mercury Cougar
XR7 Convertible w/ 351 Cleveland engine with 4 barrel carburetor VIN: 3F94Q571928 Mileage: 44,505 Miles Up for auction is a 1973 Mercury Cougar XR7 Convertible w/
351 Cleveland engine with 4 barrel carburetor. This car belonged to my
grandfather until he passed away last fall and left it to my brother and
I. He purchased the car BRAND NEW in
1973. It has been garage kept ever since and driven very sparingly, as you can
see by the fact that it only has 44,505 miles! WOW! The car is in very good
condition and is all original (other than aftermarket tape player). Take your
time to look at all the pictures and you will be very happy with this car. Only 3,166 of the 1973 Cougar XR7
Convertibles were produced! The Good: Body condition – You aren’t going to find very many cars
from 1973 that are in anywhere near as good as shape as this vehicle Mileage – WOW! 44,505 miles! These are all original miles.
No modifications or rebuilds have ever been done to this engine. VERY VERY LOW
MILEAGE for a car made in 1973! One Owner – This car was purchased BRAND NEW by my
grandfather in 1973. Garage Kept – This car has been garage kept since the day he
bought it! Convertible Top & Cover – These are both in very good
shape. Convertible top glides right back into place with a flick of the switch
and the cover fits nice and snug for a nice ride. Leather Interior – Leather does show some small signs of
wear, but overall is in very good shape! Trunk – Nice and clean! Spare tire included! ALL ORIGINAL! – Other then the aftermarket cassette tape
player, this car is exactly the way it was when my grandfather brought it home
brand new in 1973! No modifications or rebuilds! All original mileage, and very
very low mileage! Runs great – Fires right up and rides nice and smooth! The Bad: If you have any questions or would like to see some
additional pictures about any of the topics below feel free to email me and I
will get back to you as soon as possible. I intend to paint a clear picture
with my description and pictures as to what the car really looks like. Leather Interior – Shows some signs of wear, but are very
minimal. Overall the leather is still is very good shape. Tires – Needs a new set of tires Rear Passenger Side Panel & Passenger Door Jamb – There
is a very small amount of paint chipping off and a small amount of rust forming
in this area. It is very minimal. It has not rusted through completely and
appears to just be surface rust. Inside Passenger Door Handle – Seems to be hanging down
slightly versus what the handle looks like on the driver’s side door. Still
works just fine though. Clock in middle console – This doesn’t appear to be working
currently. I haven’t attempted to figure out what the problem is. Could be
something very simple, such as a fuse. Driver’s Seat – Small tear leather on the seam on the left
side of the driver’s seat Driver’s Door Pull Handle – I have the handle, but it isn’t
currently attached to the door. The handle has some yellow discoloring to it as
well. Convertible Tops & Cover – These both have some slight
wear, but are still in good shape. Front Driver’s Side Panel – Looks like some splatter of
something from the road and possibly some small amount of paint chipping. Air Conditioning – The car has air conditioning, but it isn’t
currently working. When I had the car looked over when I first took possession
of the car I was told it needed to be recharged. Overall this is an
amazing vehicle. My grandfather took great care of it and made sure that it
would continue to be a great vehicle for somebody to own for years to come. If
I had somewhere to keep it and could afford the insurance and regular upkeep on
it I would love to keep it, but unfortunately without a regular space to keep
it in forever and my first child on the way I must part ways with it
unfortunately. My grandfather has taken great care of this car and now it must
find a new home and a new owner to take just as great of care of it. Should you have any
questions don’t hesitate to contact me and I will get back with you ASAP. I was
only able to upload 24 pictures to the listing, but I have additional pictures
that I can send to anybody at their request. This car is located just outside
of Cincinnati, OH, so if you are interested and would like to see the car in
person feel free to message me and we can setup a meeting. Happy bidding and I
look forward to selling you a great vehicle. Thank you On May-20-14 at 19:46:42 PDT, seller added the following information: Additional Condition Note: It was just pointed out to me, and I apologize for missing this in my condition description, but on the rear passenger side wheel house the chrome strip is no longer in place like it is on the other wheel housing. Thank you |

This Mercury Cyclone is an American Muscle Car in Norway
Tue, Oct 27 2015The picturesque Norwegian countryside certainly doesn't seem like the natural stomping grounds for a 1969 Mercury Cyclone, but owner Alexander Brevik makes the odd combo look like an ideal match. Even with the beautiful surroundings, Brevik sees no need to enjoy the scenery; he'd much rather just be driving this vintage muscle car. Take a ride with him in the latest clip from Petrolicious. Like many of us, Brevik's automotive obsession started at childhood, and today he has amassed a multitude of projects to wrench on. While he loves working on all of these cars, we all need a break sometimes, and that's what the Cyclone is for. Even when the rest of his collection isn't running, this orange beauty is always ready to go. Brevik may not pay much attention to the landscape, but Petrolicious makes the muscle car look fantastic in the Norwegian woods nonetheless. With its rumbling V8 engine and three-speed manual, this Cyclone turns out to be a perfect cruising companion in the Land of the Midnight Sun. And if you just can't get enough of classic muscle cars and the people who love them, check out our video coverage of the 2015 Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit down below. Related Video:
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
