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.

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7

Sun, 31 Jul 2011

You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.

Has the Mercury Marauder gotten better with age?

Fri, Oct 23 2015

In the early 2000s Mercury desperately wanted to develop some edge for its brand – seemingly stuck between a quasi-premium, quasi-performance space in the Ford Universe. The Marauder is perhaps the most famous of the vehicles that resulted from those efforts, and is rapidly approaching Modern Classic status, today. Effectively a murdered out Grand Marquis with some updated trim pieces – what are company parts bins for, if not raiding? – the Marauder looked convincingly like a bad guy car. The 4.6-liter V8 under its hood that had been breathed on by engineers for a little more power, kicking out 302 horsepower and 318 pound-feet of torque from the factory. Not exactly Ferrari-baiting numbers, but it'd give your local cop's car a run for its money. Being a wild child of the last decade, of course our friends at MotorWeek had it on the program. What better way to test your mean-mugging muscle sedan than with John Davis' tanned and steady hands?

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line

Wed, 05 Jan 2011

The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
