Up for auction is a 1974 Mercury Cougar XR7.  This is a 2 door coupe in need of restoration.  Someone could essentially put a motor in it and clean it up a bit and drive it.  It has current Oregon tags but they are not on the car at this time.  There is a small crack in the passenger side of the windshield. The drivers side door panel has some damage as well as the drivers seat and the passenger side headrest.  The car has been sitting outside under a canopy for several months.  There is some light mildew in the back seat area.  The carpet needs to be replaced.  As you will see in the photos, there is some rust on the car in the truck and drivers side quarter panel areas.  The molding on the front bumper has split on the passenger side so we have taped it to prevent further damage as it may be repairable.  The vinyl top was removed by the previous owner and was one of the items on my bucket list of things to do.

The Cougar XR7 had a 351C motor and was a great driving car until it dropped a valve.  We pulled the motor out hoping to put a new one in to continue driving the car.  However, just two days ago I was injured in a motor vehicle accident and I will not be able to complete this project as I had planned. 

This vehicle is located in Hillsboro, Oregon 97124 and will need to be transported at the buyers expense.  Therefore, you will be responsible for arranging and paying for any and all transportation costs from our location to yours.  We will send the signed title to you separately from the vehicle transporter to ensure that you receive the title in a timely manner.

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:

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.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
