This is the 2nd time I listed this car on ebay. I have now owned the car 3 years. I bought it for my wife who will not drive it (she thinks the hood is too long). I was driving it once a week, but as we got heavier into our 1963 Nova restoration the car got driven less and less and this is just not right. I know I will never do anything with this Cougar. I am just not a convertible kind of guy. I've lowered the price from last year because I would like this car to have a home this year. If you want to see a video of the top working, go to my flickr website flickr.com/mydogaragon/sets/72157630611980944 and you can see the top work as well as other photos.

I just gave it a complete real tune up, replacing everything. I noticed the timing was a bit off and the distributor was frozen, so we put in a new distributor. I also put in a new alternator. The car has many new parts from me as well as the previous owner. To name a few: Gas tank, shocks, fuel pump, top rubbers, wheel cylinder, lens, clock, windshield, radio with USB port, speakers.

The car was parked 13 years ago when it's windshield was cracked by a rock. The owner moved it once a week. I have it inspected and tagged and drive it when I can. Right now it's parked for display and moved every other day. As far as I know The mileage is original. The car is un-restored and it shows in a few places as you can see in the photos. I'm sure the car was repaired at some point in the 70's or 80's. There is bondo in many spots and the nose needs some work. The Drivers door does not line up correctly (Have to be up close to tell) and looks to have bondo in it as well. There is rust where you would expect it to be, but nothing showing through the paint. If you want something to drive right now that looks good from 10 feet this is your car. If you want a restoration project, you have a good running car and all the original stuff to work with.

The photos don't show the center console as I personally don't like it, but I have it in my shop on a rack. Any parts I replaced (like radio and clock), I kept the originals in case the new owner wanted them. Most everything I bought came from west coast classic cougar.

The car is listed locally. A $500 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit would be need for me to pull ads and hold the car for you.

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.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A 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.

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.
