My deceased Grandmother's Black Beauty 1978 XR7 Cougar. Black exterior, red pinstripe & leather landau, maroon interior. 70,000 original miles literally driven by a 4'9" woman. Car has 1 small hole in drivers side carpet where Grandma's high heel would pivot in and out of car. Paint is passable but could use a new coat. I know a guy willing to do acrylic paint for about $1,200. Has minor rust spots on hood and top of cabin, no dents.
This car was professionally appraised at the value of $4000. This sweet ride comes equipped with a working 8-track tape deck, remote mirrors, cruise control (over 35 mph), a movable steering wheel (up and down), and an AM/FM Radio. Leather seats in excellent shape, no cracks. AC needs freon. Windows & seats work, however a gear has slipped on the locking mechanism. Tires replaced at 67,000 miles. Interior in great shape, in need of a few seals and gaskets for windows but is passable as it sits now. My Grandmother had the oil changed exactly every 5,000 miles +/- 100 mi. I had the oil changed last at 67,000 miles. This car rides great, feels like a giant floating couch, has a trunk that could hold the pacific ocean. It's pretty huge. Comes with a free spare tire, old school jack, a boot for that jack, chains for wintery weather, and a cover for the car. This car is a great project for a person who loves old school good lookin' cars. For more pictures, find my craigslist ad: Click Here |

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.
Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
