Bellevue, Washington, United States
|
Up for sale this week is a gorgeous 1969 MERCURY COUGAR XR7 with the original matching numbers drive train. Bought from a elderly gentleman, this one owner 91,642 cream puff has been garaged and babied its entire life.
The 351W motor with a FMX transmission which was rebuilt by previous owner and everything runs, shifts and drives like it should. THIS CAR LEAKS NOTHING!!!!!!! What's that worth to you? The timing chain was replaced last month as well as the steering ram. New disc brake rotors and pads up front were installed professionally and the rear drums were turned and new shoes and wheel cylinders were done as well. The brake booster and master cylinder got replaced by previous owner. The heater core on this car has been replaced too. If you are not aware of these heater cores, most of the dash has to come out to do the job. This heater core has been replaced and leaks nothing. Nice warm heater with NO leakage inside on rug. The distributor has had the points removed and a Pertronix ingnition was put in for reliability. New battery, alternator, plugs wires, water pump, belts and hoses and starter too. The exterior of the car was ground down to bare metal, metal conditioned and then self etched primer was applied. Then the car was DP-90 which is a sealer and 5 coats of high build primer was applied. The car was then block sanded to get car straight and then 3 more coats of high build primer and finish sanded to 400 prior to painting. Then the base coat/clear coat was applied in light green which is the factory color. Car looks amazingly stunning!!!!!!!!!!! A NEW vinyl top was professionally installed and the rare vinyl top trim was re installed. These trim pieces look amazing on the car! A rare option for the car. When the top was put on, both the front and rear windows were removed to do job right in installing the vinyl top. New rear rubber seal around rear window was used when they re installed the window. I found the factory build sheet under the passenger side front feet area. Very cool to find. Plus the factory check list sheet that gets checked off prior to leaving factory. That was found in the rear passenger feet area. Also fun to find this many years since the car was built Inside the car is like a time capsule. Dash has NO cracks. All the gauges work including the LOW GAS light. Tachometer works well. Heater and wipers work on all speeds and the headlights open and close without fail. Plus they stay DOWN when your done driving. Most of the factory tags are still on the car. Rear end tag, transmission tag, power pump ram has tag still on as well as carb. Even the seat belt warning light works as well as door open buzzer while key is in ignition. TILT A WAY steering still works when you turn car off. Also a tilt column. Has the Deluxe Horn Rim steering wheel as well which works with out fail. If you are not familiar with these horn systems, you have to squeeze the steering wheel rim to activate horn. You don't pound on the center of the steering wheel. This is more graceful than a Mustang. Just squeeze your steering wheel and the horn sounds, its as simple as that. Under rug the car still has the factory sound deadening and it is still DRY underneath when i found the build sheet. Front seats as well as rear look new and are original as well as rug. New door sills have been purchased and installed to give it that new appearance when you open the doors. Moving into the trunk, its DRY and SOLID. Gas tank looks brand new. I bought the factory trunk kit from Ken's Cougars which includes the tail light protectors, trunk extensions on either side and the trunk floor mat. Car still has the factory Jack and lug wrench which are usually LONG gone, but they are here on this car. Even the hold down anchor and wing nut stuck around. Spare holds air. The car still has the period correct and year correct rally rims now with NEW BFG's. Chrome trim rings are great looking and center caps look the same. BOTH chrome bumpers are from West Coast Classic Cougar. I sent them my still good looking cores, but i got show quality chrome shine to match the cars appearance. Front grill was all aligned to match closing headlight doors. All the trim on this car still has great shine and looks amazing. Most of the factory markings that were on different parts of the cars suspension and ball joints were all recreated to factory correct colors from what was found on the build sheet. The build sheet tells you what colors went were on the springs and different parts of the undercarriage. New muffler and pipe from muffler back is brand new as of last week. I have tried to the best of my ability to describe this Cougar accurately and honestly and share any and all information that i know of about the car. PLEASE feel free to call, text or email me with ANY questions, concerns or maybe more photos. I have plenty to share. I just want everyone to be on the same page with this car so no one is unhappy when the car arrives. I can assist in shipping and i usually use Royal Auto Transport. Ameer always gets the job done for me when i give out his information. He is a very competitive and reasonable shipper who i have dealt with for 10 years now. They get the job done and are fast and friendly! If you have any questions you would like a human being to answer about the car, please call ME, Mike and i can fill you in on any and all questions or concerns you may have on this 1969 XR7 Cougar.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis LS
Sat, Jan 21 2023Ford's now-defunct Mercury Division first began using the Marquis name in 1967, on a sporty full-size hardtop based on the Ford LTD, then began offering the Grand Marquis beginning in the 1979 model year. These big, boxy luxury sedans were replaced by big, curvy luxury sedans (on the same platform) starting with the 1992 model year, so today's Junkyard Gem is one of the very last squared-off Grand Marquises ever built. The 1991 Grand Marquis (or "Grandma Keith," as many refer to it today) looks nearly identical to its 1979 predecessor at a glance, just as the 2011 model doesn't differ much from the 1992 model. Ford saw no reason to follow short-lived fashion trends with its simple, sturdy rear-wheel-drive sedan. Only two Grand Marquis trim levels were available for 1991: the base GS and the (somewhat) upscale LS. The former listed at $18,741 and the latter at $19,241, which comes to about $41,494 and $42,601, respectively, in inflated 2022 dollars). This interior would have seemed comfortingly familiar to a 1968 (or even 1958) Mercury owner time-traveling to 1991. This is the optional "full grain leather seating surface," which cost an extra $489 (about $1,083 today). Dig those opera lights! Air conditioning was standard equipment in the 1991 Grand Marquis and its wagon counterpart, the Colony Park. The engine is the good old pushrod 5.0-liter Windsor V8, which would be replaced by a far more modern 4.6-liter SOHC mill in the '92 Grand Marquis. This engine was rated at 180 horsepower. A four-speed automatic was the only transmission available. The early 1990s ended up being the last gasp for padded vinyl roofs being considered mainstream equipment on new Detroit cars; this one was called the "Formal Coach" roof and cost an additional 725 bucks ($1,605 now). Such roofs were still available on a few cars later in the decade, but their time had passed. Why would such a clean Grandma Keith end up in a place like this? That's easy: it got T-boned directly into the right front wheel, mangling the body and bending up the suspension. This damage might have been worth fixing when the car was five years old, but it's a write-off when it happens to a 31-year-old Ford Panther. 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis Commercial - Savings Ad The granddaddy of them all, and on sale in South Texas!

Watch as an out-of-control car demolishes gas pump
Tue, May 2 2017A Baltimore area man was fighting for his life Tuesday after crashing his car into a gas station. According to WBAL, the unidentified 64-year-old lost control of his vehicle for unknown reasons around 4:55 a.m. May 1 in Parkville, Md. The 2007 Mercury Milan careened downhill, ramped over a curb, and smashed full-speed into a gas station pump. The car then flipped and came to rest against one of the station's canopy support pillars. Don Karbowniczek, owner of a service station across the street, told WBAL he was shocked there wasn't more damage. It's also surprising that the car even made it to the pumps, as it had to thread past a coin-op vacuum machine, the station's sign, a utility pole, and a traffic light pole. "It came right through, took some of our bushes out, just trimmed them for us, and how it got through and flip the way it did, I don't know. From what I see on the marks, it had to go airborne and just come down on the pump," Karbowniczek said. Thankfully there was no fire or explosion. Gas pumps have shear valves - safety devices that immediately cut the flow of gasoline when a pump is damaged. The driver was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, and was in critical condition. Police theorized the driver may have become stricken with a health issue when he lost control.

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
