 Up for auction is a 1970  XR 7  Cougar convertible, there were less than 2000 XR7 convertibles made. The restoration had started back in 1993 and all the bodywork was done at that time. The car was completely disassembled and all the rust repairs were made. The fenders, doors , hood , trunk deck were all stripped and primed on both sides even the door are primed on the inside in. You can see where the  rear quarters were repaired. What's nice about this is you can see exactly what you're getting nothing's been mudded over. The entire front clip has been cleaned primed and painted. The front end has been totally rebuilt new ball joints, tie rod ends, power steering cylinder everything looks like new yet. The only thing in front and that hasn't been rebuilt or replaced are the just dics brake calipers and rotors, this is an extremely well options Cougar. The rim blow steering wheel does not have any cracks in it which is very unusual. It also has a tilt steering column, air-conditioning, power disc brakes, the deluxe Interior with the console and the original high-back bucket seats, the dash pad is in excellent condition, it does have a tach dash with a clock, power convertible top, I have taken pictures of all the parts that are included with the car. As you can see all the hardware is very neatly packaged and marked. The underside of the car has solid frame rails and floors look good as well I do see four areas that will need rust repair but I'm thinking that all it will need is the for small patches which won't be too bad at all. The original numbers matching 351 Windsor 2 bbl  with an automatic are just sitting in the car not hooked up. The motor turns over and I was told it was running when they removed for restoration. This cougar only has 90,000 miles. This would be a great car to finish especially with all the neat options it has and most of the hard work has been done. This also has power windows and does have the tinted windows. All the windows are included with the car and are very usable. The stainless steel trim on the front windshield and the rear  convertible boot are in very nice condition. Originally a yellow car with the white interior.  I would say that this car is most likely 90% complete but remember it's been totally dismantled and was in the process of a full restoration. I've taken a lot of pictures and if you like any specific pictures in any area please e-mail me and I'll be more than happy to forward them to you. I truly believe this car is worth restoring and  will make somebody a very beautiful cougar convertible. Shipping is the buyers responsibility but I will help in anyway possible. If you're local I would urge you to come and look at the car and see for yourself what a nice project this will be this is a structurally sound vehicle and well worth restoring. The car is located in Green Bay Wisconsin.

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:

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!

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7

Sun, 31 Jul 2011

You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.
