You are bidding on a 1995 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Special Edition. Car rides and drives very smooth. A V-8 engine provides excellent power and stability when driving but the Cougar does gets surprisingly good gas mileage for a V-8 engine. With an average of 22-26 miles per gallon, I can attest this vehicle does get closer (if not above) to the higher end of this range.

Does come equipped with power windows, coded keyless entry, power locks, six way adjustable power seats with controllable lumbar air support. Has a CD player installed but missing faceplate. It was stolen by some kids. Do not know the make of the cd player but was not factory issued. Leather seats but cracked from sun exposer. Working A/C and heat. Automatic transmission, good size trunk space. (Code will be provided for the winner of this auction and code can be customized to new owner's specifications.)

The car was purchased from an elderly couple who lived on a farm outside of Willmar, Minnesota. The lady rarely drove it when it was purchased by myself. I hate to part with this car because I do love it so but I have recently purchased another vehicle and there is not room.

Known issues included are:
Car was in an accident and was struck in the driver's side front light/bumper area. The vehicle was parked and not in operation when this happened. Did do some scratch and dent damage (not noticeable until up closer to the vehicle) u and although the light cover was taken off, both sets of the headlights still are functional. And blinkers are operational as well.
Car could use a new thermostat soon.
Tires are okay but newer ones should be considered at some point.
Inside the switch to turn the headlights on and off has fallen off. I do have the main knob but the smaller inner part of the knob fell out so the knob won't stay on unless a small fitting or replacement part can be ordered.
Check engine light is on.   Was on since I bought the car and was told it was just a electrical malfunction (not serious but common electrical problem)
CD player needs the faceplate to access working cd player/am/fm radio.   All speakers are still in working condition
Just needs a little TLC. No known transmission or engine problems.   It's very stable and runs and drives very nicely.

I will require a $200 non-refundable deposit within three working business days and full payment within a week thereafter. The winner of this great car must make arrangements to pick it up from Faribault, Minnesota no later than two weeks after the vehicle is paid for. Faribault, Minnesota is located about an hour south of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. (Minneapolis, MN/St. Paul, MN)   Address and directions will be provided to the winner. Car can be driven to the winner's location if desired.

I will accept Paypal, cashier's check, money order or personal check. NOTE: Additional time is required if paying by personal check for the check to clear successfully.
Cash will also be accepted in person but deposit must not be paid in cash but by other payment mentioned above.

Overall I very good car. A few tweaks will make it an exceptional vehicle.
LOW RESERVE

Thank you and good luck!

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.

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

Now 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."

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Here 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.
