Thanks for viewing my 1974 Mercury Cougar XR7 in brilliant silver and with the original red leather interior. The odometer is showing 60k miles and by the condition and mechanical smoothness of this car, we have to assume this is accurate. I have driven this car quite a bit recently and everything is working very nicely. The A/C kicks on like it should but blows ambient, so it may need a refresh, but all other items are working fantastically. She starts nicely, with the choke setting just as it should, and the transmission is silky smooth. The ride around town and up at highway speeds is just as it should be. The radio sounds very nice and all the gauges (including oil, temp and amp) are reading well. The body on this car is just stunning with that long Cougar hood and incredible silver color -- as the photos hopefully show -- and the interior is so impressively pristine you really need to stop by in person and check it out. You will not believe your eyes. The underbody is nice and clean, as is the engine bay and trunk. This just a really incredible car that wil make someone very proud to own. The motor is a 351 V8 OHV with a 2-barrel carb that is purrs contentedly at idle and with 275 fb of torque gets up and goes when you want it to. And with a good-sized 26 gal gas tank, you've got a generous running range for those long cruises to shows and weekend getaways. I hope you take a good look at all my photos and ask any questions you may have, because this is really a special car. I've included many, many more photos at the link below:

Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.

Ford recalling 450,000 Fusion, Mercury Milan sedans

Tue, Nov 24 2015

Ford has announced a pair of recalls, and both are critical safety issues. The exponentially larger of the two recall campaigns affects over 450,000 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans manufactured at the Hermosillo plant between July 21, 2008, and March 4, 2011. The canister purge valve in the fuel tank could malfunction and could cause the top of the tank to crack and leak fuel. That could cause a fire, although Ford "is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires" resulting from the issue. Affected vehicles will have their ECU software updated and their fuel tanks inspected for potential replacement. The company estimates there are 411,205 affected units in the United States (and its federalized territories), plus another 33,605 in Canada, and 7,055 in Mexico. The second recall affects 13 F-650 trucks. The column shifter's park position mechanism may fracture and let the truck roll away unexpectedly. Those 2016 models built in Ohio between July 29 and September 3, 2015 are all located in the US. Fixing the problem will require replacing the steering column and reconfiguring the instrument panel. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS IN NORTH AMERICA DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 23, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is issuing two safety recalls in North America. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles in North America for potential fuel tank issue Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 450,000 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles for a potential issue with the fuel tank.

Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant from July 21, 2008 through March 4, 2011.
