1969 Cougar Xr7 Cobra Jet " Barn Find" Project Car!!! on 2040-cars
Santa Clara, Utah, United States
|
Was a loaded Cougar Xr7 Cobra Jet 428 Ram Air. HAD air, power steering, tilt wheel, power windows,
Console, AM/8-track, vinyl top.1 of 365 with these engine, transmission codes. Was a neat car! What you see is what is there. It is missing disc brakes, power booster, no motor or trans. It does have the original vin numbers on front aprons and vin tag. The body is in very good shape, floor pans and trunk. It has been a desert car since new. See Marti report. Has been in St. George Utah since very early 70's. The dash has sun damage. The interior was black leather. Car needs everything. They usually do. A parts car would be a plus. The positive is that it is a real Cobra Jet ram air car loaded to the gills. Invest the time and $$$ and have a nifty example of 1 of the legendary muscle cars. Build it your own way. It is a "R" code so the value will be protected. The reserve is correct for what it is, what it was and what it could be. Restore and build it right and you will have a nicer better driving car that the typical Camaro. Don't hesitate to ask questions!!! It will have to be picked up. If you can, come see it in person. It needs lots of love. |

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

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."
