 !969 Mercury Cougar XR-7. Rare Light Aqua color with Light Aqua and white interior.  It has 65k miles on it which I believe to be original.  It has The neat feature of a tilt-away steering wheel.  It also is equipped with AC, PS, power front disc brakes and FMX trans.  The 351W was originally a 2v, I changed it to a date coded correct 4v intake.  I didn't have the proper carb so it has a Demon 600 CFM double pumper on it.  (no choke and no kick down).  I also have the original intake and a (non-original) Holley 2v carb that goes with it.  It has new 2 1/4" dual exhaust with DynoMax VT mufflers.  The taillight sequencer was changed to an electronic unit, and works perfectly.  The vacuum headlights will come open after sitting, but close right away after start up.  The clock has been rebuilt and has a new lens, but is still inoperable due to the wiring pigtail to it.  The AC does not work but I have never looked into why.  It may just need to be charged.  I still have the original rims with non XR-7 hub caps that go with the car. It also comes with a new Pertronix Ignitor III distributor and coil that I just bought and haven't had the time to get it right so the old distributor went back in.  The rims on it are 17"X7"  Eleanor style with Sumitomo tires with less than 1000 miles on them.  The Paint has been redone in areas and it had a new vinyl top put on prior to my ownership.  The XR-7 badges on the top are from a newer (80's-90's) Cougar, but the color matches better.  The chrome and trim is in presentable condition, not show worthy but driver quality.  The drivers and passenger seats have some cracking in them but no tears.  The car runs and drives great, I just don't have time to enjoy it.  Would like to see it go to a good home where it will be driven.  I will be more than happy to answer any questions.  I will help with loading the car for shipping, and I would like a $500 deposit within 24 hours of auction ending

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.

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7

Sun, 31 Jul 2011

You 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.

This Mercury Cyclone is an American Muscle Car in Norway

Tue, Oct 27 2015

The picturesque Norwegian countryside certainly doesn't seem like the natural stomping grounds for a 1969 Mercury Cyclone, but owner Alexander Brevik makes the odd combo look like an ideal match. Even with the beautiful surroundings, Brevik sees no need to enjoy the scenery; he'd much rather just be driving this vintage muscle car. Take a ride with him in the latest clip from Petrolicious. Like many of us, Brevik's automotive obsession started at childhood, and today he has amassed a multitude of projects to wrench on. While he loves working on all of these cars, we all need a break sometimes, and that's what the Cyclone is for. Even when the rest of his collection isn't running, this orange beauty is always ready to go. Brevik may not pay much attention to the landscape, but Petrolicious makes the muscle car look fantastic in the Norwegian woods nonetheless. With its rumbling V8 engine and three-speed manual, this Cyclone turns out to be a perfect cruising companion in the Land of the Midnight Sun. And if you just can't get enough of classic muscle cars and the people who love them, check out our video coverage of the 2015 Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit down below. Related Video:
