1968 Mercury Cougar Xr7g Sunroof, Factory Air on 2040-cars
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
|
This is a 1968 Mercury Cougar XR7G 390, factory sunroof, factory air conditioned project car. The car is a true XR7G and the Marti report is included to prove. This is one of only 619 G cars and is very rare so it deserves a restoration. I purchased this car from North Carolina and the US title is still with the car so it can easily be returned to the US. For that matter the car has the Canadian taxes paid so it can be easily transferred to a Canadian title also. The car has all the really hard to find correct factory xr7g parts including the floor console, g mirror, sunroof parts, super puff door panels, three pin headlight door button, third horn, hood scoop, and front valance lucas fog lamp buckets etc. The car has the correct date coded engine but it is apart right now. The car is a very restorable car but with any older car they have some issues, this car needs floor panels but the frame rails and torque boxes appear to be solid. The car should have a passenger quarter panel and passenger door pillar post replaced because a previous repair was in my opinion not done up to snuff for the caliber of car that this is. The car was hit on the passenger side at one point in its life, but the rocker was not hit and it still has the original date coded windshield in it so it was obviously not hit that hard. I can possibly help with the shipping but it would cost an additional fee. Serious inquiries can call me at two five zero eight 96 six zero 40 Please ask all questions before bidding.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners 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.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
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.
