1971 Mercury Cougar XR7 2 door coupe.

Equipment includes power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, automatic transmission, am radio (works), 351 with 2 bbl carburetor.

This car is usable as-is, but with some minor cosmetic improvements could make a very nice car.  It is complete, but needs a new vinyl top and new door panels. The dash pad is cracked so you may want to do something about it too.  Needs a good cleaning.  Very minimal amount of rust behind the passenger side wheel well.  Has dings, dents, and scrapes.  Overall this is a very solid car.  Trunk floor and floor pans seem good.  Metal under vinyl top is good without any rust issues.

We recently had the following items replaced / maintenance performed on the car: new gas tank, fuel pump, carb has been rebuilt, new plugs, fuel filter, brake rotors and pads, and new headlight dimmer switch.

The turn signals work; however, the left rear signal must be turned on and off manually at the stalk (to make it blink) - sequencer does not work properly.  The right side turn signal / sequencer works fine.  Horn is not working (have not tried to diagnose).  Three of the four hubcaps are included (not shown in photos).

We have taken many pictures of the Cougar but are limited to the number we can include in the listing.  So we do have more - please ask for others.

We have a clear title (in our names) and keys.

Mileage indicated in the listing details is not accurate.

E-mail requests for additional pictures.  (We have lots more photos but are limited to 12 for this listing.)

There is NO SHIPPING for this car unless you as buyer arrange for it via a third party shipper.  This is a running and driving car, but we have not personally driven it any distance so cannot guarantee its roadworthiness.   

Buyer is responsible for all costs of delivery/pick up.  Seller will cooperate as much as possible regarding pickup.   

We are located in Southwest Missouri, within an hour of both Joplin and Springfield, Missouri, near Hwy 60, South of I-44.  The zip code for a town nearby is 65605.

Please remember that your bid is a contract.  $500 down payment due within 3 days of end of auction.

Junkyard Gem: 1970 Mercury Cougar

Tue, Oct 10 2017

The plot of the Mercury Cougar story took a lot of strange twists and turns during its 35 or so years, from ponycar to immense luxobarge to family sedan to station wagon to Integra competitor. Examples of the first Cougar generation are nearly extinct in American wrecking yards, so I was excited to spot this one in Denver. Lest you shed any tears over this car going to the crusher, know that it was suffering from the ravenous teeth of the Rust Monster long before it got here. The 1967-1970 Cougar was based on the Mustang platform of the same era, and so it was a sleeker and quicker cat than its successors. Still, the longer wheelbase, extra equipment and all the cool-looking bodywork added some heft; the 1970 Mustang hardtop with V8 scaled in at 2,923 pounds, while the 1970 Cougar weighed 3,307 pounds. The current Ford Focus would fit just between those two weights. There was also a mid-cycle refresh in that era, with the '67-'68 and '69-'70 having different exterior styling and interiors. The '69 and '70 had different front end styling as well, with the latter re-adopting the vertical grille slats featured on the earlier model years. The '69 has horizontal slats. The drivetrain and just about everything else of value has been shorn from this car, perhaps before it arrived in this yard. In 1970, a bewildering assortment of V8 engines was available in the Cougar, including a Boss 302, two completely different 351s, and a 335-horse Cobra Jet 428. The base engine was a 351 Windsor making 250 gross horsepower. Since car rooftops mostly don't rust, why would someone cut out this one? Sheet metal needed for patching a leaky shed roof, perhaps? This 2005-2006 Denver Nuggets window sticker indicates that the car was on the street (probably) as recently as 11 years ago. This content is hosted by a third party.

Watch as an out-of-control car demolishes gas pump

Tue, May 2 2017

A 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 recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:
