This is a 1967 Mercury Comet Capri. It has been redone in the last 10 years. It is a complete car ready to be a daily driver or ready for completion to make a nice show car. Ford V8 289 2 Barrel carburator. It is the base package Capri Model. The air cleaner has the Hi-Po sticker it is the stock 289.

The Good: Complete car
- All chrome trim is there and in really great shape.
- Dash - in great shape and all gauges & switches work and in really great shape
- Little to no rust
- All panels and exterior in great shape
- Strong running motor
- Engine bay is clean and painted black
- Solid crisp shifting transmission
- Solid dual exhaust with nice sounding mufflers
- Fitment: Doors, hood, & trunk all close and work smoothly
- Brakes work great

Bad
- Interior: could use new carpet, but satisfactory. The color on seats is dark, but no rips in seats and not dirty.
- Engine: burning a bit of oil and running a bit rich. But cranks up and runs strong - solid motor for refresh and upgrades.
- Exhaust: needs donut gasket on passenger side
- Vinyl Top: small section on driver's side has been repatched (pictured)
- Paint: there are bad spots, with some poor touch up with spray paint, but all the metal surfaces are covered and protected from rust. Looks sharp as is, but would pop with new paint job.

Bottom line, this is a solid car with minimal investment could be a sharp cruiser. You won't be disappointed. It is a great foundation. I drove it 80 miles home when I bought it. Would make a sweet daily driver.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Thu, 24 Feb 2011

Bugatti 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.

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.

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!
