1977 Mercury Cougar XR7 - Overall Excellent Condition with Very Low Miles
This car is a time capsule (36 years old) in beautiful brown with matching vinyl top and hounds tooth (brown and white) interior. It features the distinct styling (new for 1977) and the 351 V8 auto transmission. The car is extremely clean and the odometer shows 3500 miles. I believe that this could either be 3500 original miles or 103500 - based upon condition of the car and paperwork, I think it is 3500.. But I have paperwork that shows new tires in June 2007 with 1,942 miles. So either way, this car has not been driven much. The previous owner was elderly and said it was used mostly for car shows. Comes with original owners manual, sales brochures and some paperwork (such as the new tires purchased in 2007 about 1,500 miles ago).
I took many pictures because I wanted to show all potential buyers everything about the car. There is no rust, dents or dings anywhere on the car - even the pinstripe is in very good condition. If you have any questions or would like to see the car (it is located in Central Oregon), please call me at 541.390.0456. Would like to keep, but need money for other projects.
Everything about the car is in near perfect and showroom condition, with several exceptions (as shown in the pictures). These are: clock stopped working, light stain on driver seat (it looks more like a dark shadow, but I have not tried to clean it), light scratches (three on the trunk lid where a garage light bulb fell), small cracked plastic in the back seat above each back window. Other than that, everything on the car is in perfect working condition and looks great. All of the glass is also in perfect condition. The tires have very low miles on them (about 1,500) and the wheels still shine like new. The pictures show everything, including the tires and all trim. Call if you have any questions.
Even up very close, the car is beautiful and has been maintained very well. It drives very smooth and quiet. Everything except the items mentioned above are flawless. The car has been checked by a mechanic and found to be very sound. I would personally drive this car anywhere and it is a perfect example of a 1970s luxury car, except it does not have the power items such as windows, door locks or seats, which are prone to not working.
The reserve and buy it now price on the car is low and it will only appreciate in value being in excellent condition with low miles.
Clean title in hand with Oregon classic plates good until 2015. Winning bidder must pickup or pay for transportation. A deposit of $500 is due within 24 hours of wining the auction or buying the car. Please call me at 541.390.0456 before bidding if you have any questions. Will accept PayPal or cash in person only and will not arrange for shipping. Buyer is responsible for shipping. Vehicle being sold as-is with no warranty.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here 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.
