RARE 1969 MERCURY COUGAR XR7 CONVERTIBLE!!

Only 4250 of these cars ever made and even less made in the bright Metallic blue with white top!

Engine is a 351 Windsor with 4 barrel carburetor and automatic transmission. Car has performance handling group option, electric windows, power steering and tilt away steering wheel, sports console and tinted glass options. See copy of the original build sheet in pictures.

Odometer reads 80,490 miles, but there are less than 200 miles on the rebuilt engine. Transmission has been rebuilt as well. There is new leather interior, new tires and wheels, new ford battery, new taillight sending unit, new bumpers, new top, and many more new parts. The headlights and molding were restored and all restoration was to original condition. Originally a Southern car, the body is rust free and in great condition. I also have a number of extra parts that will be included with the car.

This car is about 98% complete. It needs the air-conditioning hooked up and other minor tweaking to be a competition award winning car. The passenger rear window recently become stuck in the down position and I have not had time to fix it. The motor for it is working.

I am selling this car, because I do not have time for it and rather than sit in my garage I'd like to see it go to someone who would enjoy it. I am willing to transport the car 100 miles, but if the buyer wants it delivered and it is more than 100 miles please message me BEFORE bidding to discuss the additional cost. Otherwise, the buyer must pick the car up and have paid for the car in full before it will be released.

A $1,500 non-refundable down payment is required within 48 hours of the end of the auction. The down payment can be made through paypal, but full payment in the form of a cashiers check is due before car and title will be released. Pick-up and full payment are expected within a week of the end of the auction. This car is in great condition, but does not come with any type of warranty expressed or implied. The buyer purchases this car as is.

Overseas buyers are ok, but above requirements still apply.

If you have any other questions or concerns please message before bidding.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
