I have a 1973 Mercury Cougar XR 7 Convertible in good solid condition for your consideration. The car runs great I just had it out on the freeway and drove solid for 50 miles at 75mph. The tranny shifts out nice it is newly professionally rebuilt. The 351 Cleveland engine power packed. The power top motor just went out. The previous owner did redo the interior and it is very nice so is the carpet. The floor of the the trunk is solid(see pics).The top is new.....the paint is NEW! The chrome is very good(see pics) and all the glass is intact and not cracked. The body one small rust bubble on the passenger door. The underside of the car is solid, floor pans are solid. The car has no fluid leaks at all. Here is what I have done:

1. Replaced drivers side rear tail light lens very rare to find in this nice shape.

2. Replaced radio with 8 track player that works, people love to hear it play

3. Tranny is newly rebuilt in August.

4. New rear axle seals with pinion seal

5. Replaced hood ornament

5. Blinkers now work but not sequentially

6. Brake lights did not work now they do.

7. Convertible release handle is new.

8. Fuel gauge is not working, all others do.

9. New trunk lock

10. New lower radiator hose.

11. Carb is new

12. Battery is new

13. Coil is new

14. Brand new paint

15 All the lights work.

So look at my pics and ask me any questions. Buyer is responsible for pick up. I have a great shipper if you need him. Call me at 210-842-1447. There are no warranties and I have described as best as I can. Opinions vary and mine is one of a non-purist, non-perfectionist. So do not bid if you are a purist. Bid if you want a good car to keep for years to come. The car is for sale locally so I can end this auction at any time. I have added new pictures from underneath the car and the trunk and the body and panel gauges. You can see the car is pretty solid underneath as is the body. This is the Base model, you can install AC very easily to the pulleys and mount a compressor. I have a set of headers that will go to the buyer. FMX tranny is good to go.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.

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.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
