This is an original numbers matching car. I have the Marti report on her and she is one of 21 cars built with the options she has. She was born in Michigan, was sold in a dealership in Atlanta and spend most of its life in California where I bought her from 18 months ago.

This cat purrrrs with only 72,000 original miles on her. The 351 Windsor engine and FMX transmission and Eliminator heavy duty suspension were rebuilt by the prior owner. Car was originally white but when restored was painted with care to the beautiful bright blue you see today. I believe it’s called competition blue. She is an original A/C car and I just redid the A/C with all new components at the cost of $3,000. I have a thick file of receipts totaling $22,000.00 NOT INCLUDING COST OF CAR! For you Cougar enthusiasts this is a rare car and the one to own!

Amazing condition, this is an all metal car NO BONDO. New top and rebuilt power top motor operate perfectly. She has functional working hide-away headlights and sequential tail lights. I just replaced the actuators on headlights. Speedo, gas gauges, windshield wipers, stereo, dashboard lights, door lights, reverse lights and even the cigarette lighter work! Has the rare Rimblo steering wheel and eliminator suspension. Just did a wheel alignment and put on 2 new tires. Drives and runs excellent.This is one of the best 69's you will find out there.  

ENGINE- REBUITMatching Numbers 351 CI & WAS FULLY REBUILT (LESS THAN 600 MI ) and Matching Numbers FMX TRANSMISSION  WHICH PROVIDES THIS RIDE WITH MORE THAN ENOUGH POWER FOR THIS DAILY DRIVER AND IS EXCELLENT ON THE HIGHWAY. GEARS ARE ORIGINAL AND PERFECT FOR HIGHWAY DRIVING OR CRUISING AROUND TOWN. THE CAR HAS POWER STEERING & NEW DUAL EXHAUST. THERE IS A NEW BATTERY AS WELL AS A REBUILT STARTER. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.

INTERIOR- THE INSIDE IS IN GREAT CONDITION WITH NEW CARPETING AND THE RARE / EXPENSIVE RIMBLO STEERING WHEEL FINISH OFF THE INTERIOR. ORIGINAL STEREO SYSTEM IS INSTALLED AND WORKING WITH NEW SPEAKERS. NEEDS SOUND RESISTOR

ELECTRONICS-  HEADLIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, WIPERS, GAS GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, INTERIOR LIGHTS, REVERSE LIGHTS & CIGARETTE LIGHTER WORK. Original STEREO SYSTEM & NEW RFID STARTER KILL.HORN IS NOT HOOKED UP. ORIGINAL A/C CAR THAT IS WORKING PERFECTLY WITH NEW CONDENSER, COMPRESSOR, POA VALVE ETC

RIMS & TIRES- THE CAR HAS NICE SETS OF STOCK RIMS.

EXTERIOR- BEAUTIFUL NEW COMPETITION BLUE PAINT JOB W BLACK HOOD SCOOP AND ELIMINATOR TAIL-FIN. NEW TOP AND POWER TOP MOTOR INSTALLED AS WELL. CHROME IS IN GREAT SHAPE BUT NOT PERFECT. GLASS IS GREAT TOO JUST NEEDS SLIGHT ALIGNMENT.

KEEP IN MIND THE CAR IS 42 YRS OLD AND ALTHOUGH BEAUTIFUL SHE IS BEING SOLD AS-IS WITH NO WARRANTY. I ALWAYS SUGGEST COMING TO SEE THE CAR IF POSSIBLE.

SHIPPING- Cost and coordination is responsibility of the buyer. I am happy to assist where and how I can and even happy to refer guys I have used to transport but again all cost and responsibility is buyers.

Lastly I might not be a high volume Ebay member but I have perfect feedback for a reason. I don't do wrong by anyone! If you are a scammer please move on. I will allow for international buyers but cash or a wire must clear before pick up. I do have another car for sale but I am NOT a broker. Just letting go of of some of my toys. I am not hurting for cash nor am I in a rush. Not interested ina trade for a motorcycle or a boat!

Mercury Cougar from Bond film 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' is up for auction

Fri, Nov 20 2020

To a James Bond fan, this is a very cool and important car. This 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 up for auction by Bonhams was one of three used during the filming of 1969's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," the one-and-done film starring George Lazenby that's a dark horse favorite among many Bond fans (this one included, there's a Japanese-market 'OHMSS' poster hanging behind me as I type this). However, this was not James Bond's car in the movie. He drove an Aston Martin DBS, including in the film's pre-titles sequence when he follows Tracy di Vicenzo driving her bright red Cougar. She would go on to rescue him with it in Switzerland (hence the skis), sacrificing its pretty red paint and body work in a demolition derby on ice that they use to shake Blofeld's Benz-driving goons. Later, after getting caught in a blizzard, they seek refuge in a barn -- a pivotal scene in the film and one where this particular Cougar was apparently used.  ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE | Ice Car Race However, even without the Bond connection, this Cougar is a very cool car. It was one of only 127 in 1969 to be fitted with the top-of-the-line 428 CobraJet Ram Air V8 rated at 335 horsepower. Tracy had a serious muscle car. Bonham's doesn't seem to have thought to provide a Marti report, but I'm guessing the build of XR7, convertible and a color combo of matching red exterior and interior wasn't exactly a common one. Well, we know there were at least three. With skis and French number plates, too.  As for the '69 Cougar itself, this was the only year it looked like this: it got a new body for '69 that would last two years, but the horizontal grille slats that extended over the headlight doors (so cool!) didn't carry over to 1970. It looked worse, and it could easily be argued that it was only downhill from here for the Cougar.  The auction is set for December 16 and Bonhams is estimating a sale price of between $130,000 and $200,000. That certainly makes sense given the rarity of a CobraJet Cougar, the film connection and the complete restoration undertaken by the man who found it in a classified ad in the late 1980s. He originally just wanted it for the engine until he discovered the Bond connection. I actually saw this very car at the 50th Anniversary "Bond in Motion" exhibit at the Beaulieu Motor Museum in England back in 2013 (pictured below). There's also a model of the thing sitting next to me.

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers

Mon, 04 Aug 2014

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday

Mon, 04 Oct 2010

Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
