 Selling my 1969 Mercury Cougar.  I have too many projects.  This is a standard cougar. It has a 351w that runs but the carb sucks and I run it out of a separate gas can as the car sat for along time.  I was going to use this as a parts car for one of my other cougars because it is a complete vehicle which is probably what you would want to do as it has rust through in the torque boxes and rear frame rails.  However it is a complete car and I have a good title in my name.  Tires are decent and the brakes don't work as I popped a brake line loading it on to my trailer a few months ago.  Glass is good as well as the the trim around the front and rear windshield.  It is an automatic and it has the 9" rear end with the old school traction bars on it.  Might be a fun car to beat the crap out of for awhile and then use the parts on something else.  Sorry it doesn't have a front bumper and sorry again guys there isn't a tilt steering column.  Doors open and shut fine and the window cranks all work  This is about all I know about the car because I only bought it a few months ago. Hopefully the pictures will explain the rest but let me know if you have questions.  I will help load on to a trailer with your shipper but I won't be delivering.  I'm listing the car for less than what I think the drivetrain and parts are all worth to me.   Thanks

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When 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.

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line

Wed, 05 Jan 2011

The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A 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.
