Your Looking at a 2 owner 1988 Mercury Cougar with only 62,000 original Miles. I have the original registration from 1989. They only made this body style for 2 years 87-88 very few are still around, in fact I could not find another one listed on ebay, let alone one with so few miles. I am the second owner. The car runs and drives good. Interior is nice as well with only minimal wear and fade on drivers seat, & a couple cracks in top of dash pad., the seats are very comfortable and the power lumbar option still works on both seats. The steering wheel leather shows wear on one area other than that interior is spotless.I dont think the back seat was ever even used. The Car has a 5.0L V/8 and has the digital dash option. The car is factory equiped with, dual exhaust (recently replaced) the FORD 8.8 posi traction rear end witha 3.08 ratio which is the rear end of choice. This car is the XR7 without the badges, Ford made them this way for Insurance reasons. Everything works on this car except fo the AC,. It runs and drives out nice and is comforable to sit in and the v8 puts you back in the seat .. a non refundable deposit of 500.00 is expected within 24 hours of sale. Full payment is expected within 5 days, as is pick up of vehicle, unless other arrangements are made with me. I reserve the right to end auction at anytime as the car is for sale locally as well. Good luck.

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America
Wed, May 27 2015Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack
Sat, May 30 2015With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.
