!969 Mercury Cougar XR-7. Rare Light Aqua color with Light Aqua and white interior. It has 65k miles on it which I believe to be original. It has The neat feature of a tilt-away steering wheel. It also is equipped with AC, PS, power front disc brakes and FMX trans. The 351W was originally a 2v, I changed it to a date coded correct 4v intake. I didn't have the proper carb so it has a Demon 600 CFM double pumper on it. (no choke and no kick down). I also have the original intake and a (non-original) Holley 2v carb that goes with it. It has new 2 1/4" dual exhaust with DynoMax VT mufflers. The taillight sequencer was changed to an electronic unit, and works perfectly. The vacuum headlights will come open after sitting, but close right away after start up. The clock has been rebuilt and has a new lens, but is still inoperable due to the wiring pigtail to it. The AC does not work but I have never looked into why. It may just need to be charged. I still have the original rims with non XR-7 hub caps that go with the car. It also comes with a new Pertronix Ignitor III distributor and coil that I just bought and haven't had the time to get it right so the old distributor went back in. The rims on it are 17"X7" Eleanor style with Sumitomo tires with less than 1000 miles on them. The Paint has been redone in areas and it had a new vinyl top put on prior to my ownership. The XR-7 badges on the top are from a newer (80's-90's) Cougar, but the color matches better. The chrome and trim is in presentable condition, not show worthy but driver quality. The drivers and passenger seats have some cracking in them but no tears. The car runs and drives great, I just don't have time to enjoy it. Would like to see it go to a good home where it will be driven. I will be more than happy to answer any questions. I will help with loading the car for shipping, and I would like a $500 deposit within 24 hours of auction ending

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill 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!
eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible
Wed, 31 Aug 2011Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.
Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
