 This is a one owner car and yes the mileage is correct  ONLY 17,167.  I bought this car new in 1997 with the notion that I would be keeping it for a very long time as a classic.   Kids are getting older and college costs money - so sadly I must part with my beloved Cougar.

'97 was the last year Mercury made this style Cougar XR7.  It has NEVER seen a snow flake or salt and only a drop or two of rain.  I drove this car usually on sunny days to the golf course or out to dinner.  It is original, except for deep tinted windows and chrome accents over the wheels. I did have a paint-less dent removal company remove a couple dings that I did not like, but you can not tell where they were now.  This car still smells new.  I have all original paperwork, including the window sticker.  Here is the equipment:

Safety/Security

  • Driver/Passenger Air Bags
  • Side Impact Door Beams
  • Side Window Demisters
  • 3-Point Safety Belts
  • Courtesy Lights
  • Rear Seat Outboard Shoulder Harnesses
  • 5 MPH bumpers

Optional Equipment

  • Preferred Equipment PKG 262A, Included:
    • Electric Rear Window Defroster

    • P225/60R16 BSW Touring Tires

    • Anti-theft System
    • Traction Lock Axle
    • Autolamp
    • Auto A/C
    • Premium Electronic AM/FM/CD Player
    • California Emission System

This has been a great car for me.  There are a couple of scratches on the bumpers and the under carriage suffered a dent under the driver's side, but it has NO effect on the cars performance or outward appearance, you have to own it to know it.  If your a Cougar XR7 fan and want to experience a smooth ride and powerful acceleration in a "showroom" condition car from 1997, this is the car for you.  I don't believe there is another one like it out there for sale and in this condition with such low miles.  I also have the original sales brochure.

Full Payment must be made within 48 hours of a successful bid.  Buyer must remove vehicle from its current location within 7 days of payment.  All shipping costs and fees are at Buyer's expense.  No warranty is made as to this vehicle.  Buyer is purchasing the vehicle "where is" and "as is".  Failure of Buyer to make FULL PAYMENT within 48 hours of being the successful bidder will result in forfeiture of Buyer's deposit and the vehicle may be re-listed. This vehicle is also being made available for sale locally, so Seller reserves the right to cancel this auction at anytime and for any reason.

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Here 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.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill 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!

Does Lincoln Zephyr trademark mean a return to real names?

Wed, May 25 2016

Lincoln's long history includes many legendary names, and despite its short life, Zephyr retains a spot in that pantheon. Perhaps its will return once again: Ford Motor Co. applied to trademark Zephyr on May 11. Trademark filings can have ambiguous meanings, and often they're legal plays to get or keep the rights to a name. But in the last year, we've seen signs Lincoln is looking to use real names on its vehicles again. Obviously, it's keeping Navigator for its flagship sport-utility vehicle with a new model due next year. Reprising Continental for the MKS replacement was also well received. That said, Lincoln still uses the MKX and MKC "names" for its crossovers. Zephyr is a dustier moniker. It was used in the 1930s and '40s on a mid-level model spearheaded by Edsel Ford. The stylishly aerodynamic model was set between the Ford V8 De Luxe and more expensive Lincolns. It returned in 2006 as the Lincoln version of the Ford Fusion before that model was renamed MKZ. Mercury also used Zephyr on its version of the Ford Fairmont in the late 1970s and early '80s. Ford last held a trademark on the Zephyr name in 2013. The filing says Ford seeks to use Zephyr for "motor vehicles and parts and accessories therefor." That could mean a new car — or just parts. Putting the Zephyr badge back on the MKZ is the most likely bet. Meanwhile, Ford also moved to get the Thunderbird trademark on May 11 for the same vehicles and parts purpose, and it filed for the Mustang trademark for shampoo and lotions on May 4. A Lincoln spokesman said, "In the normal course of our business, we file trademarks for names," but had no further information. Related Video:
