1977 Mercury Cougar XR7 - Overall Excellent Condition with Very Low Miles
This car is a time capsule (36 years old) in beautiful brown with matching vinyl top and hounds tooth (brown and white) interior. It features the distinct styling (new for 1977) and the 351 V8 auto transmission. The car is extremely clean and the odometer shows 3500 miles. I believe that this could either be 3500 original miles or 103500 - based upon condition of the car and paperwork, I think it is 3500.. But I have paperwork that shows new tires in June 2007 with 1,942 miles. So either way, this car has not been driven much. The previous owner was elderly and said it was used mostly for car shows. Comes with original owners manual, sales brochures and some paperwork (such as the new tires purchased in 2007 about 1,500 miles ago).
I took many pictures because I wanted to show all potential buyers everything about the car. There is no rust, dents or dings anywhere on the car - even the pinstripe is in very good condition. If you have any questions or would like to see the car (it is located in Central Oregon), please call me at 541.390.0456. Would like to keep, but need money for other projects.
Everything about the car is in near perfect and showroom condition, with several exceptions (as shown in the pictures). These are: clock stopped working, light stain on driver seat (it looks more like a dark shadow, but I have not tried to clean it), light scratches (three on the trunk lid where a garage light bulb fell), small cracked plastic in the back seat above each back window. Other than that, everything on the car is in perfect working condition and looks great. All of the glass is also in perfect condition. The tires have very low miles on them (about 1,500) and the wheels still shine like new. The pictures show everything, including the tires and all trim. Call if you have any questions.
Even up very close, the car is beautiful and has been maintained very well. It drives very smooth and quiet. Everything except the items mentioned above are flawless. The car has been checked by a mechanic and found to be very sound. I would personally drive this car anywhere and it is a perfect example of a 1970s luxury car, except it does not have the power items such as windows, door locks or seats, which are prone to not working.
The reserve and buy it now price on the car is low and it will only appreciate in value being in excellent condition with low miles.
Clean title in hand with Oregon classic plates good until 2015. Winning bidder must pickup or pay for transportation. A deposit of $500 is due within 24 hours of wining the auction or buying the car. Please call me at 541.390.0456 before bidding if you have any questions. Will accept PayPal or cash in person only and will not arrange for shipping. Buyer is responsible for shipping. Vehicle being sold as-is with no warranty.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
