1969 Mercury Cougar Xr7 428 Cobra Jet on 2040-cars
Ward, Arkansas, United States
Up for sale is my 69 XR7 Cobra Jet Cougar project car. This car has its complete original drive trane with block date 9C20, heads both 9D4, intake 8K19, distributor 9C8, original exhaust manifolds (not removed so no dates to include), finned valve covers and original breather set up. The carburetor is missing, the starter is a rebuilt unit and the alternator is a Motorcraft. I did not check the date on the water pump. The smog set up is also missing. The original radiator C8ZE S1 date 9C4 and Clutch Fan C9ZE E are still in place. The original fan shroud is in place but broken beyond repair.
It also has its original transmission with the R Servo and tag PGB AF1. It has the original drive shaft with original universals and the original N Case Rearend. The exhaust pipes and mufflers have been replaced. Basically this is an all original car still in original paint with original interior that survived. It shows its wear and tear for sure but do not be deceived. This is a very restorable car that is solid with great floors, torqe boxes, rails, engine panels and a perfect lower cowl panel to boot. The passenger quarter and door need replaced. The driver quarter needs patched. The driver door and passenger fender can be used but need some work. The driver fender could be straitened but I would replace. With that said, I will post up a lot of pictures and you can make your own assessments of this car. |

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.
eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
