1969 Mercury Cougar (eliminator Model Tribute) on 2040-cars
Charleston, South Carolina, United States
|
Somehow Steppenwolf singing “Get your motor runnin' Head out on the highway…” sounds better on a radio from 1969. You’re going to have a blast in this beautifully restored Mercury Cougar, because now is the right time for you to get the car you’ve wanted for a long time.
This Cougar is not an actual Eliminator, but it’s just as badass. It has the original equipment as the Eliminator; from the working ram air cowl and dashboard with tach and clock on the glove compartment, to the engine which was overhauled and upgraded to a Boss 302. Lots of original equipment; like the spoilers, front and back, the wheels and suspension are original too. Even the pristine leather interior was restored to original specs. Remember those hidden headlights with flip up lids and the sequential tail lights? She’s got ‘em.
It also has high performance parts like the water pump, aluminum radiator and suspension bars.
This is a trophy winner with the rumble of the custom exhaust and ceramic headers to the Mercury Orange urethane paint that was restored down to bare metal.
I’ve only had this Texas car for 2 years and can’t bare to part with it, but I don’t have the time now to get her on the road as much as she deserves. The car also comes with a high quality "California Car Cover" custom fit for this model and year.

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
