I have owned this Cougar for 35 years, it is an XR/7 with AC (not working) 135,000 miles. Two years ago I installed a 351W out of a 1969 Montego. I purchased the Montego from the original owner with 76,000 original miles when it broke down and he decided to buy a new car. I installed a new timing chain and it runs just fine. This engine is a first run (never rebuilt, smokes just a bit). At that same time I installed a new TCI Torque converter, New TCI-511200 C-4 Street Fighter transmition ($880.00, have receipt) new tires, new dual exhaust, Edelbrock 4 barrel intake, professionally rebuilt ford 4 barrel carb from Pony Carbs. I also have a new set of Edelbrock valve covers (never installed) the original intake manifold, the original AC compressor, original hub caps and some other parts that will go with it. The paint job is 25 years old and looks OK from the side but is faded on the top. The dash is original and not cracked, the carpet is the original carpet. I installed a sun roof 25 years ago also (no leaks) this Cougar has been kept in a climate controlled garage most of the 35 years I have owned it. I take it out every month or so for a run into town and sometimes my kids like to take it into town (they always get a lot of comments when they do) I also have a used center console for a 1968 XR/7 to put back into it. It has a new stereo with new speakers as well. The hood scoop and Spoiler are off of a 1969 Eleminator, I unbolted them myself. If you have any questions please ask.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill 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!
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.
