1989 Mercury Cougar XR7 3.8 V6 supercharged engine, white exterior with blue interior. The engine runs but runs rough at idle, if you rev it up a little bit it smooths out. The oil looks good on the dipstick and under the oil fill cap, I didn't see any milkshake oil. The engine will need some work, the tensioner and alternator will need replaced, plus it needs a fan and shroud and battery. The supercharger runs ok, makes a little bit of noise, might need a bearing or just oil added to it. The engine and supercharger on this car is a solid builder. The transmission worked fine, but I only drove it a short distance(one block) to get it parked at my house. The interior is pretty descent on this car, it has no rip or tears in the seats, but it is missing a a few things, all four speaker covers, a knob or two and the XR7 emblem off the dash. The exterior of the car is ok, but it will need some attention. The front bumper cover is torn. it has some small surface rust areas that need addressed(no rot through), a dent on the passengers door, hood. This car is missing the grill, and it needs some new rubber around the windows. The car has the original rims, missing one cap, the tires are descent. This car is a solid builder, it is just like the SC Thunderbirds, except it was only made in 89-90 so they are harder to come by.
Bring your trailer to haul this car, it is not currently driveable. It must be picked up within two weeks after the end of the auction, payment is due in cash when vehicle is picked up. |

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7
Sun, 31 Jul 2011You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.
Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.
