Highly Customized 1999 Mercury Cougar on 2040-cars
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
The cleanest, most-customized Mercury Cougar I've personally ever seen. It took me over 2 years to fully customize this car. I have friends with super cars (McLaren's, Lamborghini's, etc) who admire this car. This car has been invited to car shows in Pittsburgh (though I chose to never attend). Obviously, there are no mechanical issues with a car like this. I am letting go of it simply because I do not drive it anymore, I don't take it to car shows, I don't do anything with it at all, and I feel a car like this belongs with an owner who will give it at least some kind of attention. For a business, this would also make a great car to be wrapped in graphics/logos for promotional purposes. A few details about the customization: - Completely wide, uni-body design. There are no seems in this body at all, it's a single piece. - Luxury/Legacy chrome rims & performance tires (only 2 years old, tires were barely driven in that time - less than 100 miles) - Red & black leather interior - Underbody red NEON lights (looks very cool) - Red NEON lights also in the interior to glow the floor space - Touch screen DVD player, CD & MP3 player with bluetooth in dash console (if you pair once with your iPhone, iPad or Android, every time you get in the car you just hit play music from your device & it will work wirelessly without any delay or setup require) - Lamborghini-style doors (both of them) - Fiberglass hood - Various other aesthetic customizations - Door popper kit comes with car (but not installed) - [For those who may not know]: if installed, a door popper kit will allow you to remove the door handles completely & the car doors will open up automatically with a keychain button A few details about the car itself: - V6 2.5L DOHC engine - 92k miles - 5-speed, manual transmission - Power windows - Power adjusting drive-side seat - Rear buckets seats, very nice with leather interior & comfortable ride if you have passengers I did not do much upgrading to the engine, so it's prime for anybody that wants to. It's a pretty fast car as is, but if you install a turbo charger or even a cheaper NOS system, it will be "very" fast, if that's your thing. Before long, this car will be a classic (I already sort'of consider it one). Cougars were discontinued in 2002, so one in this condition is a really rare find for any car enthusiast. On a final note: I'm someone who is really into Bitcoin and the crypto world. If anybody wants to pay in Bitcoin or a major crypto currency (NXT, DRK, LTC, etc), I would welcome it and even offer a slight discount on the price. That's completely optional though. |

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The 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.

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.
Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
