1969 Mercury Cougar Xr7 All Original 351ci Fmx Auto A/c California No Reserve on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
No reserve. $500 deposit due right after the auction ends. No zero rated bidders. This is a very original 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7. Factory original 351ci engine and FMX automatic transmission with 3.00 rear axle. Factory Air Conditioning and all of the components are in place. The original carb was rebuilt earlier this year. It starts up good, runs smoothly and idles good. The Bright Blue (code 6) body has all the original panels and it has never been painted, plus it is very straight and clean overall as shown. The transmission shifts into the gears as it should with no known issues. The power brakes stop fine. This has not been on the road in a couple years. It has been lot driven but that is it. Also I have not cleaned out the gas tank so I have it running off fresh fuel under the hood. The electronics work, as do the lights. The headlight doors close when you start it and slowly open awhile after turning it off. I was going to have this XR7 painted but I have been too busy with other things. The interior is original and in place. Trunk is solid. The floors are very clean and solid. I have a clean pink California title with it. No accidents ever and all the panels are completely original. This is for NON California residents only, otherwise a CA buyer will have a rebuilt title after it processes. Any other state it will retain its clean title and its also clear/clean for export. International buyers accepted. I have described it the best I can and I took 40 pictures to show it better than words can describe. It has the original data under the hood with the vin that matches the vin plate on the door. All questions will be answered quickly and honestly. |

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford 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.
Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7
Sun, 31 Jul 2011You 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.
Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."
