1972 Mercury Cougar Xr-7 Survivor! Mustang Torino Montego on 2040-cars
Monroe, Michigan, United States
1972 Mercury cougar for sale. This is a true 94xxx mile all original survivor! I got the car from an older gentlemen (who only put about 200 miles on the car) who got it from the estate of the original owner. You never find them like this anymore! Nothing has been changed or altered. Original paint, interior and drivetrain! Car is Bright Green Gold Metallic with 3/4 White Vinyl Top (very nice condition) (top has very light dirt streaks in it. I haven't tried cleaning it, as its still to cold here)and Medium Green Leather bucket seats. There were 53,702 Cougars built in 1972. (Cougar, Cougar Conv., Cougar XR7 and XR7 Conv.) Out of all 1972 cougars built, only 93 were painted Bright Green Gold Metallic. Of these only 41 were XR7's. And of those, only 23 had the Green Leather interior! I have never found any rust on this car anywhere (car had always been in Texas until I got it). Never been in an accident. There are a couple of small dings and scratches in the car, but after all, its 42 years old! I just had the exterior professionally rubbed out and buffed, and WOW! I never thought original paint could look so good! The car actually looks wet! You can restore a car 100 times, but they are only original once! This car would clean house in a survivor class at a car show! Options include and verified on the Marti report are: White 3/4 Vinyl top, FMX Transmission, Convenience Group, Power steering, Power front disc brakes, Air Conditioning (been converted to R-134 and blows ice cold), AM Radio, Console (clock doesn't work) and Tinted glass. I wouldn't be afraid to drive this car across country. It rides and drives like a dream. Tires are new. Choke needs adjusted.(doesn't like this cold weather). Runs great after warmed up. No warranties implied. $500 deposit required within 24 hours. Balance due in 7 days. If your interested in looking at the car or want someone else too, no problem, I actually encourage it. This car has nothing to hide. I have a 100% feedback rating, and have sold cars on here in the past. Any questions? Call Ron @ 734 735 2260. Thanks for looking! |

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.
Auto Show Notebook: Legendary Continental name inspired Lincoln's designers
Thu, Apr 2 2015What's in a name? A lot for the Continental concept, and it gave Lincoln designers a sense of purpose as they styled the brand's upcoming flagship sedan. "The moment that we told them, it was amazing," Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra said. "They totally got it." "It" is cutting-edge technology wrapped in stately, large-sedan design. It's a nod to Lincoln's storied past, but a signpost for where the brand is heading. Though the Continental name dates to the late 1930s, Lincoln designers avoided making the concept overtly retro. "You can't let it pull yourself back too far in history, but you've got to design a car that lives up to the name," Galhotra said. Speaking to Autoblog on the floor of the New York Auto Show where the Continental formally debuted Wednesday, the Lincoln president reiterated that the car is on track to launch in 2016. It will compete against the Audi A6, Lexus GS, BMW 5 Series and other large luxury sedans. After its debut, the concept in New York will fly to China – another critical market for Lincoln – for display there. It will be replaced in New York by a prototype without an interior. The Continental is the latest high profile play by Lincoln to raise its image with consumers, who have either ignored or forgotten about it amid steep competition in the luxury sector from German and Japanese brands and a potentially resilient Cadillac. Lincoln sales are essentially flat compared with 2014 through the first quarter of this year, with total volume of 21,478 units. The middling start to 2015 comes on the heels of nearly 16-percent sales growth last year spurred by the launch of the MKC and the prominent signing of Matthew McConaughey to star in Lincoln advertisements. Other News, Notes & Quotes Speaking of names, Chevrolet did its homework before deciding to proceed with "Malibu" for its new generation of midsize cars. "We went out and researched it," said Alan Batey, president of General Motors North America. "People actually like the name 'Malibu,'" he said. Admittedly, the current Malibu has struggled in the marketplace against entrenched competitors, Batey said, but he's optimistic its awareness and historical value are assets to the dramatically redesigned sedan."The name's strong," he said. Meanwhile, in other Chevy news, the brand kicked off a new marketing campaign, "Real People, Not Actors" Wednesday. It will show consumers interacting with Chevys and their spontaneous reactions to the vehicles.
Junkyard Gem: 1973 Mercury Montego MX Brougham Sawzall Convertible Edition
Fri, Apr 21 2017You know how it goes— the weather is warm, you want to do some top-down driving, and you lack a proper convertible... but you do have a hooptie Detroit car on one side of the garage and a big ol' Sawzall on the other. Put the two together and you have a Sawzall Convertible, which generally lasts for about one summer before it gets scrapped. Here's a fine example of such a car, photographed in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service junkyard. Most Sawzall Convertibles (yes, it should be called a roadster, but nobody does that) have raw, ragged metal edges, or maybe duct tape over the stumps of the amputated pillars, but someone went to the trouble to weld nice smooth metal covers over the hackage on this one. The windshield is gone. Instead, the windshield frame is ringed by tongue depressors held in place by gooey roofing tar. No, we don't know why. The Montego MX Brougham was a hot-selling personal luxury coupe in its day, selling for $3,041 in 1973. That's just under $17,000 in 2017 dollars. It must have been fun, cruising this thing on Bay Area streets with no roof and a rattle-can spray-bomb job. This one has the optional 400-cubic-inch V8 engine, rated at 171 horsepower. What would this car's original buyer have thought of its fate? This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
