I am selling my 1969 Mercury Cougar. It is the base model 2 door coupe. I am the second owner of the vehicle and I hate to see it go but I need the money so it has to go. I was told it was purchased in 1969 in Allentown, Pa. So this car has not went far at all. It has a 351 Windsor in it and has an automatic transmission, It ran when I put it in the garage like a month ago, I didn't try starting it today but I am almost a hundred percent sure that it will start as soon I turn the key. The carburetor needs to be cleaned out probably because it stales when in drive and you push the gas pedal. The car does need tlc, it needs a paint job, needs body work (it was bondoed in different spots but I think that could be done better), the frame looks good, but there are two holes at the front drivers side of frame that just need weld patches and at the front of passenger side. Trunk pan is in good shape and passenger floor too. Drivers floor could need a patch or two. Has a brand new headliner in it, and the majority of the interior is really nice as seen in the pictures. Drivers window needs to be aligned. Some chrome is nice and some other pieces are pitted. I also have the chrome that goes around the back window and that goes on the quarter panels. I made sure I listed everything wrong because I don't want to hide anything but this car could really shine up nice with a little bit of time and money. Please if you have any questions message me and I will do the best to answer them and I will also send more pictures if you need.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
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!
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
