1967 Mercury Cougar Xr-7 California Black Plate Rust Free / Low Miles No Reserve on 2040-cars
Salem, Oregon, United States
This one checks all the boxes in my book. Xr7 package, AC, PS, PB, No vinyl top, 0 rust ever, full documentation, low miles, VERY original. Runs and drives, thousands in receipts, just needs paint and light assembly. The previous owner attempted to paint it himself and realized he was in over his head. He was a long time customer of ours and asked us to please place it in the right hands. We believe by doing a thorough video on the car someone who sees the potential will act and have a stellar Cougar. I have owned over 1000 Cougars over the last 25 years and am billing this as the best project car I have ever offered up for sale. I am very easy to deal with as we are flexible one when you pay ($500 due immediately after auction close by Paypal or credit card) flexible on when you pick it up (free indoor storage for up to 1 yr.) and we will even take your rusted out parts / project car in trade. We can get it painted by our trusted body man and can do the re-assembly but I will not be part and parcel to any "Quickie" budget paint job. This car should appraise for $30,000.00 when completed and deserves a show quality paint job. Will help with shipping anywhere in the world. If you have any questions not covered in the video please call us at 503-463-1130. This is a no reserve auction and it will be sold no matter what. Don Rush / West Coast Classic Cougar Inc.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill 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!
Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
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.
