San Diego, California, United States

No reserve.  $500 deposit due right after the auction ends.  No zero rated bidders.  This is a very original 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7.  Factory original 351ci engine and FMX automatic transmission with 3.00 rear axle.  Factory Air Conditioning and all of the components are in place.  The original carb was rebuilt earlier this year.  It starts up good, runs smoothly and idles good.  The Bright Blue (code 6) body has all the original panels and it has never been painted, plus it is very straight and clean overall as shown.  The transmission shifts into the gears as it should with no known issues.  The power brakes stop fine.  This has not been on the road in a couple years.  It has been lot driven but that is it.  Also I have not cleaned out the gas tank so I have it running off fresh fuel under the hood.  The electronics work, as do the lights.  The headlight doors close when you start it and slowly open awhile after turning it off. 

I was going to have this XR7 painted but I have been too busy with other things.  The interior is original and in place.  Trunk is solid.  The floors are very clean and solid.  I have a clean pink California title with it.  No accidents ever and all the panels are completely original.  This is for NON California residents only, otherwise a CA buyer will have a rebuilt title after it processes.  Any other state it will retain its clean title and its also clear/clean for export.  International buyers accepted.  I have described it the best I can and I took 40 pictures to show it better than words can describe.  It has the original data under the hood with the vin that matches the vin plate on the door.  All questions will be answered quickly and honestly.

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.

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.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
