1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator Clone Convertible on 2040-cars
Calgary, Alberta, Canada
|
1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator Clone Convertible. This car is being sold as a Restoration project. Original 351W, FMX trans, dual exhaust. Motor was rebuilt and runs. Car hasn't been driven in 20 years. Front and rear spoilers, and the bold hood scoop with the Eliminator striping kit. Previous owner replaced floor pans, both quarters and fenders at one time, but used the original doors. They didn't make aftermarket quarter panels back then, so most likely these were original FoMoCo quarter panels that were used. Quarters look good as do the front fenders. Previous owner did a hatchet job cleanup on the doors and appears to have sprayed bombed and bondo'd the door corners. Overall the doors do look very good and are hard to find used.
Complete interior. AM/FM radio is included but unconnected and no speakers in dash or door panel slots.The carpet is new and the front bucket seats were reupholstered. The original dash pad is in very nice shape, and I couldn't find any cracks anywhere.There is a matching set of four P225/70SR14 inch Grand Prix Radial G/T raised white lettered tires mounted on Magnum 500 wheels. Brakes are not in working order but I am going to attempt to repair. Missing all mirrors and headlight vacuum switch. The trunk also has the factory styled trunk mat t from Ken's Cougars and a full size Magnum 500 spare with an original jack and crow bar. The trunk floor in good condition however the drivers side torque boxes and frame rails are poor. Paint is a 10 footer and is chipped and faded. Front bumper is in need of re-chrome. This is being sold as a restoration car or for parts, not safely drive-able at present. I will answer any questions you have honestly and truthfully unlike some sellers on this site. I will assist with shipping anywhere |

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
