This is a NO RESERVE listing.

This is my 2001 Mercury Cougar V6 Sport Zn edition with only 47,710 miles.

This is probably one of the cleanest, best-condition, lowest-mileage Cougars of this generation for sale anywhere. It is also one of the best-equipped, with nearly every available option. 

If you have been looking for that "near-perfect" example of the last-generation Mercury Cougar, this could be the one for you. 

This Cougar has the following equipment and options:
  • 2.5L Duratec V6 engine
  • 5-speed manual transmission
  • Sport Package
  • Zn package (Zinc yellow with hood scoop and rear spoiler)
  • leather sport bucket seats
  • power moonroof
  • A/C (works well)
  • cruise control
  • power locks and windows
  • keyless remote entry
  • power driver's seat
  • 6-disc CD AM/FM radio
  • 17" aluminum wheels
I also have the original books and manuals with the car as well as the original window sticker showing the purchase price of $21,725.

The equipment level of this car is excellent- this car has the desirable 5-speed V6 Sport package along with the Zn package and the Sport Leather seats.  You cannot find a better-equipped version of this car.

This is absolutely one of the nicest Cougars you will find anywhere.  This car is outstandingly well-kept, clean and in excellent condition throughout, and it runs and drives like new.

The paint and body are excellent- the paint is in very good condition and looks superb.  The body is straight, clean and rust-free.  This exterior of this car has been very well kept and looks absolutely outstanding for the age.

The interior of this Cougar basically shows no wear.  The leather Sport seats are in superb condition and the carpets and upholstery are very clean and in excellent condition.  This interior is clean and beautiful- please see the photos.

This Cougar runs and drives beautifully.  There are no known mechanical or electrical problems.  The engine, transmission, clutch, suspension and brakes are all working well with no known issues.  This car is smooth, powerful and responsive.  It drives exactly the way it should for 47,000 miles. 

Maintenance is up-to-date with the next oil change due at 50,133 miles.

This is a truly outstanding example of the last of the Mercury Cougars.  This is an amazing condition, superbly-equipped and well cared-for example of a great car that will continue to appreciate in value.  This car would make a great car to drive or one to put away as an investment.

This is a 2001 car, not a brand new one.  To be very picky, there is some wear on the bezels around the climate control knobs, and a few tiny stone nicks, small flaws, etc in the exterior.  Overall this is an outstanding car.    

You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home.  Alternatively you can have the car shipped.  Please contact Angels Moving Autos at 530 245 0481 for a shipping quote.

This car is kept in my climate-controlled garage in Willoughby, OH.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri XR2

Mon, Jun 5 2023

Just a year after the Mazda MX-5 Miata first went on sale in the United States, Ford's Mercury Division began selling a similarly-priced two-seat convertible here. This was the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri, and I've found an example of the hot-rod turbocharged version in a northeastern Colorado car graveyard. The Capri name has an illustrious history within the Ford Empire. First used on a Lincoln in 1952, it went on to serve as the name for a hardtop version of the early-1960s Ford Consul in the UK, then as the designation for a low-end trim level on the 1966-1967 Mercury Comet. Starting in the 1969 model year in Europe (1970 in North America), Ford began selling the best-known Capri of all: a sporty coupe based on the Cortina, sold through Mercury dealers in the United States but never badged as a Mercury here. Sales of that Capri halted here after 1978 (they continued through 1986 in Europe), but the Mercury Division then moved the name over to its version of the 1979-1986 Ford Mustang. After that, Ford Australia took the Capri name for a new Mazda 323-based sports car beginning in 1989. Then Dearborn decided that an Americanized version of the Australian Capri would be a success on this side of the Pacific, and left-hand-drive Capris began showing up in American Mercury showrooms in late 1990. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those first-model-year cars, and it's the very rare turbocharged XR2 version. While this car was intended to be a competitor for the Miata, it's really that car's Mazda cousin. Both cars got their power from 1.6-liter versions of Mazda's versatile B engine, though the Capri had the same front-wheel-drive setup as its 323/Protege (and Escort/Tracer) platform siblings. At the same time, Ford was selling Kia-built Mazdas with Festiva (and, a bit later, Aspire) badging, alongside Mazda MX-6s with Probe badges. Just to make things interesting, American Mazda dealers were selling Ford Explorers as Mazda Navajos, while Rangers with Mazda badges followed starting in 1994. The 1990s were Mazda-riffic times at Ford! This car wasn't the first Australian-designed, Mazda-based Ford product sold in the United States. That honor belongs to the 1988-1989 Mercury Tracer, which was based on the same Mazda 323 platform as the Capri and built in Mexico. Later on, the Tracer remained a member of the 323 chassis family but was a nearly identical twin to its Ford Escort sibling.

New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek

Fri, Jan 29 2016

Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 – also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past – to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
