This listing is for a 1986 Mercury Cougar XR7, this is the Mercury equal to a Turbo Coupe T Bird. I purchased this car back in 2009 from a gentleman in southern Ohio. The car was purchased new in West Springfield MA, and then from what I can tell went to the mid-west area until I bought it. The owner prior to myself had a new remanufactured motor installed in it at approx 109k miles. When I bought the car it had a turbo issue so I bought a new one and replaced it and then over the past few years put approx 25k miles on it. I never drove it during the winter months and although I dont know for sure it doesnt appear that it was winter driven prior to my ownership as the underside doesnt have the normal north east US rust issues that seem to plague most fox body Fords. Items replaced since my ownership that I can remember would include: new turbo, new radiator, new master cylinder, frt brake hoses, frt brake calipers and pads, rear brake shoes, rear wheel cylinders, heater core, aux fan motor, the tires on the back are brand new with just a few miles on them before I put it away the frt still have good tread. They are all matching tires, I picked up some road debris in the rear one which was why they were replaced. 


The car has a 87/88 style turbo coupe hood on it now with the hood scoops. I had a guy make a set of block off plates for them to keep out debris and rain but they are removable if you wanted to add a top mount intercooler. I have the original ductwork that mounts to the hood for that. I also have some various extra pieces in the trunk that will go with the car also. The car has the original keys and I purchased a extra set of the turbo ignition/door key and the small trunk key although they need cut.  I also have a couple of the 1986 Ford factory manuals that will go with it.

This car in 1986 listed for $16148.00( I have the original window sticker). I have set a very low reserve on the car to help it sell as I might be changing careers and need to let go of some stuff. If you have any questions or want to see other pictures send a note and I will answer as soon as possible. If you are local and want to see it in person that can be set up also.  Car is running, driving, stopping, etc under its own power so if it goes by transporter there are no issues. Car is located about an hour and a half south of Buffalo NY or an hour north of Erie PA.  Title is clean clear and in my name and the car will not leave until payment is made. A guy I know hauls cars for a living so if you were needing transport I can get you his info. Although it is listed with a reserve, bid what you are willing to pay. I have way to many toys so I dont need any trades. If reserve is not met I will most likely contact the final high bidder to see if interested so bid to win

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.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A 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.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
