15 years ago, I picked up this non running Convertible. I attempted to repair as time allowed but had no luck. As I got busier, I parked it in the back of my shop and looked at it less and less. 2 years ago I took another look at it and found the simple solution. Its always simple but easily overlooked. I started to drive the car occasionally and slowly serviced the entire car. Flushed the fuel tank and lines, flushed the brake lines and replaced all the brakes, replaced the water pump, thermostat, timing belt and seals. I replaced the tires last September. The A/C is still running cold with the original R12 freon. The body is all original. No accidents. I had the front and rear bumpers repainted as they are plastic and had faded. The paint on the body itself is still all original. The paint work was done in September last year along with a installation of a new convertible soft top. Scored this Spring when I found a hard top in excellent condition. This was painted to match 1 month ago.
The miles are the actual and original miles.
The XR2 Turbo has been in the desert Southwest and has 0% rust.
This is a fun car to drive. Fuel sipping, great MPG car for the daily driver or lightweight powerful turbo kicked Rally car for the weekend.
I have set a reasonable reserve. The car is for sale locally and reserve the right to end auction early if the reserve is not hit. I can and have helped with delivery in the past but all expenses are the responsibility of the buyer.
Please E-mail any questions or needs before auction ends. I will return calls if you leave a number.
Happy bidding!

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.
Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
