1973 Mercury Cougar XR7 Convertible.

This car is complete for the most part, it has rusted rear quarter panels and floor panel ( I have new floor panels)

I purchased this car in 2012 , engine starts right up and run, transmission works and car is in driving condition.
The engine is a 351 Cleveland 2 barrel. I think it has a FMX transmission (Im not sure it's a C-4) and I know for sure it is not a C-6. It has a 9 inch rear end and I assume it is a plain old common 28 spline non-posi 3:25, like most of them were. 
The roof covering has minor rip but it doesn't leak, auto roof mechanism work perfect. Trunk locks and latch works. I have driver seat original and rear seat , but also I have two great seat from old BMW that fit perfect. I got all new carpet and new dash board overlay. , I got original wheel caps and all original wheels, front wheels are solid aluminum rims. All chrome is there. I think everything else is there.

All roof hardware and components are intact and works perfect. All side glass is intact (It has roll-up windows). Rear Plexiglas is in one piece but is clouded beyond use. The front windshield is in decent condition. 

All interior panels are there.

It has broken fuel pump so installed one aftermarket and runs great. Has Holly carb. 

Needless to say this car is solid but will need some body work done.

I've tried to describe this vehicle as honestly as I can and in NO WAY offer or imply there are any warranties for this vehicle.

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!

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There 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.

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible

Wed, 31 Aug 2011

Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.
