1969 Ford Mercury Xr7 Cougar Great Resto Project Or Mustang Donor Car! Rust Free on 2040-cars
Newport Beach, California, United States
|
This 1969 XR7 Cougar would make a great restoration project or a donor car for a Dynacorn new body Mustang. This car has spent its life in sunny So California so it doesn't have any rust other than surface rust. A VERY original survivor car that has never been modified or disassembled. It still retains nearly all its factory parts in very good to excellent condition. Lots of high value parts if it's parted out. Would make a great resto mod too! Since this is an XR7, it is fully loaded: 351 Windsor 2V. 9" Rear Axle, Complete Power Steering system, Complete A/C system, Complete Power Disc Brake calipers including Bendix booster and orig Bendix master cylinder. Engine is complete except for carb & air cleaner. I sold the radiator, seq. box & console already, otherwise the car is complete. All these systems are identical to a 1969 Mustang. Deluxe interior group includes: Tach Gauge package, Power windows/locks, Tilt Steering Column with Rim blow wheel. A/C, Deluxe door panels & upholstery. Clock panel, Map Light. Original color I believe is Indian Fire (Burnt Orange, same color as the show car pictured). Black vinyl roof. This XR7 has never been wrecked or in a crash, The frame is very straight. The whole front clip is perfect, no damage. The hood is nearly flawless as are the bumpers, grille, fenders, RH door, quarter panels & deck lid. Somebody kicked in the drivers door and broke the glass but it's fixable. Dent in roof and at RH qtr end cap. otherwise the body is in excellent condition. If you need a donor car for a Dynacorn Mustang body, this is the perfect car for that. All the systems are an exact match for a 1969 Mustang. |

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
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.
NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
