1973 Mercury Cougar XR7 Convertible w/ 351 Cleveland engine with 4 barrel carburetor

 

VIN: 3F94Q571928

 

Mileage: 44,505 Miles

 

Up for auction is a 1973 Mercury Cougar XR7 Convertible w/ 351 Cleveland engine with 4 barrel carburetor. This car belonged to my grandfather until he passed away last fall and left it to my brother and I.  He purchased the car BRAND NEW in 1973. It has been garage kept ever since and driven very sparingly, as you can see by the fact that it only has 44,505 miles! WOW! The car is in very good condition and is all original (other than aftermarket tape player). Take your time to look at all the pictures and you will be very happy with this car.  Only 3,166 of the 1973 Cougar XR7 Convertibles were produced!

 

The Good:

 

Body condition – You aren’t going to find very many cars from 1973 that are in anywhere near as good as shape as this vehicle

 

Mileage – WOW! 44,505 miles! These are all original miles. No modifications or rebuilds have ever been done to this engine. VERY VERY LOW MILEAGE for a car made in 1973!

 

One Owner – This car was purchased BRAND NEW by my grandfather in 1973.

 

Garage Kept – This car has been garage kept since the day he bought it!

 

Convertible Top & Cover – These are both in very good shape. Convertible top glides right back into place with a flick of the switch and the cover fits nice and snug for a nice ride.

 

Leather Interior – Leather does show some small signs of wear, but overall is in very good shape!

 

Trunk – Nice and clean! Spare tire included!

 

ALL ORIGINAL! – Other then the aftermarket cassette tape player, this car is exactly the way it was when my grandfather brought it home brand new in 1973! No modifications or rebuilds! All original mileage, and very very low mileage!

 

Runs great – Fires right up and rides nice and smooth!

 

The Bad:

 

If you have any questions or would like to see some additional pictures about any of the topics below feel free to email me and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I intend to paint a clear picture with my description and pictures as to what the car really looks like.

 

Leather Interior – Shows some signs of wear, but are very minimal. Overall the leather is still is very good shape.

 

Tires – Needs a new set of tires

 

Rear Passenger Side Panel & Passenger Door Jamb – There is a very small amount of paint chipping off and a small amount of rust forming in this area. It is very minimal. It has not rusted through completely and appears to just be surface rust.

 

Inside Passenger Door Handle – Seems to be hanging down slightly versus what the handle looks like on the driver’s side door. Still works just fine though.

 

Clock in middle console – This doesn’t appear to be working currently. I haven’t attempted to figure out what the problem is. Could be something very simple, such as a fuse.

 

Driver’s Seat – Small tear leather on the seam on the left side of the driver’s seat

 

Driver’s Door Pull Handle – I have the handle, but it isn’t currently attached to the door. The handle has some yellow discoloring to it as well.

 

Convertible Tops & Cover – These both have some slight wear, but are still in good shape.

 

Front Driver’s Side Panel – Looks like some splatter of something from the road and possibly some small amount of paint chipping.

 

Air Conditioning – The car has air conditioning, but it isn’t currently working. When I had the car looked over when I first took possession of the car I was told it needed to be recharged.

 

 

Overall this is an amazing vehicle. My grandfather took great care of it and made sure that it would continue to be a great vehicle for somebody to own for years to come. If I had somewhere to keep it and could afford the insurance and regular upkeep on it I would love to keep it, but unfortunately without a regular space to keep it in forever and my first child on the way I must part ways with it unfortunately. My grandfather has taken great care of this car and now it must find a new home and a new owner to take just as great of care of it.

 

Should you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact me and I will get back with you ASAP. I was only able to upload 24 pictures to the listing, but I have additional pictures that I can send to anybody at their request. This car is located just outside of Cincinnati, OH, so if you are interested and would like to see the car in person feel free to message me and we can setup a meeting. Happy bidding and I look forward to selling you a great vehicle. Thank you

Additional Condition Note:


It was just pointed out to me, and I apologize for missing this in my condition description, but on the rear passenger side wheel house the chrome strip is no longer in place like it is on the other wheel housing. Thank you

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

Icon and Stealth EV are building an electric Derelict Mercury

Mon, May 14 2018

Icon, a company known for its high-quality restomod vehicles, is building another Derelict, this one a 1949 Mercury coupe. While the fact Icon is building another one of its sleeper hot rods with patina isn't the most shocking, what's under the hood is. The company has teamed up with Stealth EV to turn this latest Derelict into an electric car. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The car was shown in the above Twitter post with video. The exterior is just what you'd expect from an Icon Derelict. It's solid but with a weathered finish. And even as the guy from Stealth EV approaches the car, it looks like it has a V8 under the hood. But as he explains, there's actually the two motor controllers and half of a Tesla battery pack under there. It's just that they've all been given some classy looking metal casings and mounted to look like a V8. Apparently the motors themselves are in the transmission tunnel. The Stealth EV rep says it uses a pair of AM Racing motors. Depending on which motor controllers the companies are using, those motors could produce as much as 700 horsepower. Power will go to the rear wheels and no transmission will be used, making it direct drive. It will have a limited-slip differential, and the whole car sits on an Art Morrison chassis with independent suspension. This actually isn't the first electric Icon, nor the first developed with Stealth EV. Before this, the companies created a totally awesome electric Volkswagen Thing. That little truck made much less power at 180 horses, but it was also a way smaller and lighter vehicle. Related Video:
