You are bidding on a 1995 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Special Edition. Car rides and drives very smooth. A V-8 engine provides excellent power and stability when driving but the Cougar does gets surprisingly good gas mileage for a V-8 engine. With an average of 22-26 miles per gallon, I can attest this vehicle does get closer (if not above) to the higher end of this range.

Does come equipped with power windows, coded keyless entry, power locks, six way adjustable power seats with controllable lumbar air support. Has a CD player installed but missing faceplate. It was stolen by some kids. Do not know the make of the cd player but was not factory issued. Leather seats but cracked from sun exposer. Working A/C and heat. Automatic transmission, good size trunk space. (Code will be provided for the winner of this auction and code can be customized to new owner's specifications.)

The car was purchased from an elderly couple who lived on a farm outside of Willmar, Minnesota. The lady rarely drove it when it was purchased by myself. I hate to part with this car because I do love it so but I have recently purchased another vehicle and there is not room.

Known issues included are:
Car was in an accident and was struck in the driver's side front light/bumper area. The vehicle was parked and not in operation when this happened. Did do some scratch and dent damage (not noticeable until up closer to the vehicle) u and although the light cover was taken off, both sets of the headlights still are functional. And blinkers are operational as well.
Car could use a new thermostat soon.
Tires are okay but newer ones should be considered at some point.
Inside the switch to turn the headlights on and off has fallen off. I do have the main knob but the smaller inner part of the knob fell out so the knob won't stay on unless a small fitting or replacement part can be ordered.
Check engine light is on.   Was on since I bought the car and was told it was just a electrical malfunction (not serious but common electrical problem)
CD player needs the faceplate to access working cd player/am/fm radio.   All speakers are still in working condition
Just needs a little TLC. No known transmission or engine problems.   It's very stable and runs and drives very nicely.

I will require a $200 non-refundable deposit within three working business days and full payment within a week thereafter. The winner of this great car must make arrangements to pick it up from Faribault, Minnesota no later than two weeks after the vehicle is paid for. Faribault, Minnesota is located about an hour south of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. (Minneapolis, MN/St. Paul, MN)   Address and directions will be provided to the winner. Car can be driven to the winner's location if desired.

I will accept Paypal, cashier's check, money order or personal check. NOTE: Additional time is required if paying by personal check for the check to clear successfully.
Cash will also be accepted in person but deposit must not be paid in cash but by other payment mentioned above.

Overall I very good car. A few tweaks will make it an exceptional vehicle.
LOW RESERVE

Thank you and good luck!

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:

The AM37 is literally the Aston Martin of boats

Wed, Sep 28 2016

While sports car companies such as Porsche and Lamborghini are looking to SUVs to expand their offerings, Aston Martin has taken a page from Mercedes and designed a boat. Specifically, it's a 37-foot powerboat appropriately named the AM37. The boat was developed with help from Mulder Design and Quintessence Yachts, and is available in two different versions, both of which should the aquatic equivalent of Aston Martin performance. The standard AM37 is available with two different pairs of engines from Mercury, either 370-horsepower diesel engines or 450-horsepower gas engines. If that's not enough, Aston also offers the AM37S, which comes with a pair of 520-horsepower gasoline Mercury engines. Like road-going Astons, this boat is absolutely gorgeous. The lines are simple, crisp and clean. It features a beautiful wood deck, and an impressive double-curved, single-piece glass windshield. And if you get tired of the sun, the AM37 features a powered, carbon fiber bimini top. The interior completes the package with a carbon fiber dashboard, lots of leather and polished steering wheel, throttle and joystick. It's also incredibly well-equipped with seating for eight, air conditioning, mood lighting, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, a bed that folds out from the table, and even a bathroom. Aston Martin didn't release pricing or availability for the AM37. However, we suspect that if you really want this boat and have the means, pricing doesn't matter, and you're probably willing to wait.
