This 1977 Mercury Cougar XR7 is a matching numbers all original blast from the past that is a real treat to cruise down the road. It is in excellent condition and runs and drives perfectly! Powered by its original numbers matching 351 (Cleveland) this beauty floats down the road with a smooth ride rivaled only by the Lincoln's and Cadillac's of the time period. With only 36,400 actual miles it is just broken in and ready to drive anywhere! The original white and dark blue lower panels paint is in very good condition and retains almost all of its deep shine and luster. The original blue leather interior is in almost showroom condition with no tears or scuffs to the seats or seat backs. The back seat appears as if it was never used! The headliner and dash are in flawless condition and looks like they were installed yesterday! The XR7 was the luxury version of the Cougar with many of the options being standard equipment. This highly option XR7 features leather eats, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power door locks, power seats, cruise control, dual remote outside sport mirrors, and AM/FM radio. As an XR7 it also has the full gauge package with factory tach, etc. An aftermarket CB radio, CB antenna, (wire for antenna can be seen in photo of passenger floorboard) mounting bracket, and owners manual are in the trunk and are inlcluded in the sale.
This car had the factory rust proofing option of the day called "Ziebart" and it must have worked because the car is completely rust free. Less than 200 miles on brand new BF Goodrich Radial TA's. This car runs and drives like its showroom new! If you want to have something totally different that turns hears at the cruise ins and everywhere else you go then this car is for you. If you have any questions call me at 615-351-0096. My name is Bo. |

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
Ford recalls 382k vehicles across six campaigns
Wed, Sep 30 2015Ford needs to repair a total of 381,633 vehicles in North America across six newly announced campaigns, including five safety recalls and one compliance recall. By far the largest of these campaigns covers the 342,271 examples of the 1998-2003 Windstar to double check an earlier recall repair. Among these, 283,413 are in the US and 58,858 are in Canada. The combination of corrosion and stress can cause cracks in the rear axle and eventually lead to the part to snap completely. The company reports a small number of accidents might be connected to this, but there are no injuries. The minivans were recalled for this issue back in 2010, and it was investigated by NHTSA. According to Ford's latest announcement, the reinforcement brackets on some of these models might not have been installed correctly. This time, dealers will perform an inspection. Minivans with incorrectly installed brackets will get a new rear axle. The rest of the owners will be offered a deal to replace the part at a reduced cost. The next largest campaign covers 36,857 examples of the 2015 F-150 to fix a problem with the adaptive cruise control. Specifically, there are 33,481 affected trucks in the US, and 3,376 in Canada. According to Ford, "when passing a large, highly reflective truck" the radar in the system can misidentify a semi as being in the same lane as the pickup. The collision warning system would then activate, slowing the F-150. There's one report of an accident with this happening but no injuries. The fix is simply an update to the adaptive cruise control module software. Ford also has a recall for 1,477 examples of its 2016 F-53 and F-59 stripped chassis models, and they're all located in the US. A manufacturing issue might allow the trucks to shift into reverse without the driver first applying the brakes. There are no reports of any accidents from this, though. To repair the problem, the models get a new transmission shift control bracket and an adjustment to the shift cable. The Blue Oval's safety compliance recall covers 708 examples of the 2016 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, including 658 of them in the US, 28 in Canada, and 22 in Mexico. On these models, a manufacturing problem with the fuel tank could allow it to crack in a crash, which isn't allowed under federal rules. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires. The fix will be a new fuel tank for all of them. The company is also repairing 251 units of the 2015 Taurus and Lincoln MKS, plus the 2016 Explorer.
