1968 Mercury Cougar XR7. This is an all original, unmolested car. It has been sitting in a garage for the past 15 years, The fluids were changed and it started right up. It runs very well and the transmission shifts very smooth. A/C blows cold. The specs are as follows:

- 302 4v V8 Engine

- C4 Transmission

- 3.00:1 gears

- Sunlight Gold Paint

- Nugget Gold Interior

VIN# 8R93J515465

Door Data Tag : 65B Y 6Y 08C 52 5 W

This car is from the original owners and is as original as it was when they drove it off the lot. Interior is in great condition for being original. A cracked dash and small tear in the headliner (shown in photos)are the only issues. Exterior paint needs to be repainted,(unless you like the original Patina look). The owners stored cleaning supplies on the hood of the car while it was in the garage. The supplies eventually leaked on the hood and destroyed the paint as you can see from the photos. The vinyl top needs redone, otherwise this car is ready to go. Tires are brand new, Brakes are good, Engine does not leak or burn oil. Floors are solid and rust free. There is a small amount of rust in the trunk as shown in the photos, otherwise a very solid car. This is a very nice original car to restore or drive like it is. The vehicle is on a non op registration that is current thru 04/13. Car comes w/ original manuals, owner card and black Ca. license plate. Shipping of the car will be the responsibility of winning bidder, I will be more than happy to assist in any way I can.

Please e-mail or call w/ any questions.

Thank you.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill 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 2013

A 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 announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers

Mon, 04 Aug 2014

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
