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

Ford finds flex-fuel engine design plays big role in emissions output

Mon, Jan 6 2014

How bad is ethanol for your engine? There's been a lot of debate on this issue as the US considers upping the biofuel content in the national gasoline supply from 10 percent (E10) to 15 percent (E15). The ethanol industry and some scientists say higher ethanol blends show no "meaningful differences" in new engines while the oil industry says ethanol creates health risks. Researchers working at the Ford Research and Innovation Center decided to take a closer look at how a wide range of gas-ethanol blends - E0, E10, E20, E30, E40, E55 and E80 - affected the emissions coming out of a flex-fuel 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. To see the full report, printed in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, requires payment, but there is an abstract and Green Car Congress has some more details. The gist is that, "with increasing ethanol content in the fuel, the tailpipe emissions of ethanol, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, methane, and ammonia increased." At least NOx and NMHC emissions decreased. The researchers say that the effects are due to the fuel and "are expected for all FFVs," but that the way that a manufacturer calibrates the engine will affect NOx, THC, and NMOG emissions. It's this last bit that's important, since the researchers found, "Higher ethanol content in gasoline affects several fundamental fuel properties that can impact emissions. ... These changes can have positive or negative effects that can depend on engine design, hardware, and control strategy. In addition to direct emissions impacts, higher ethanol content fuel can also provide more efficient combustion and overall engine operation under part-load conditions and under knock-limited higher-load conditions." So, as we head towards more ethanol in our fuel supply (maybe), manufacturers are going to need to learn how to burn it most efficiently.

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.

Auto Show Notebook: Legendary Continental name inspired Lincoln's designers

Thu, Apr 2 2015

What'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.
