This 1977 Mercury Cougar XR7 is a matching numbers all original blast from the past that is a real treat to cruise down the road. It is in excellent condition and runs and drives perfectly! Powered by its original numbers matching 351 (Cleveland) this beauty floats down the road with a smooth ride rivaled only by the Lincoln's and Cadillac's of the time period. With only 36,400 actual miles it is just broken in and ready to drive anywhere! The original white and dark blue lower panels paint is in very good condition and retains almost all of its deep shine and luster. The original blue leather interior is in almost showroom condition with no tears or scuffs to the seats or seat backs. The back seat appears as if it was never used! The headliner and dash are in flawless condition and looks like they were installed yesterday! The XR7 was the luxury version of the Cougar with many of the options being standard equipment. This highly option XR7 features leather eats, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power door locks, power seats, cruise control, dual remote outside sport mirrors, and AM/FM radio. As an XR7 it also has the full gauge package with factory tach, etc. An aftermarket CB radio, CB antenna, (wire for antenna can be seen in photo of passenger floorboard) mounting bracket, and owners manual are in the trunk and are inlcluded in the sale.
This car had the factory rust proofing option of the day called "Ziebart" and it must have worked because the car is completely rust free. Less than 200 miles on brand new BF Goodrich Radial TA's. This car runs and drives like its showroom new! If you want to have something totally different that turns hears at the cruise ins and everywhere else you go then this car is for you.

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."

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
