1947 "dick Dean" Mercury Coupe on 2040-cars
Festus, Missouri, United States
|
This is your chance to own a real piece of history. This is something that can never be recreated. This Mercury was one of the last cars that the Sultan of Chop himself chopped, Dick Dean. I have the pictures and the documentation to prove it. The car just had fresh paint put on and new interior installed. This is a great car, and can be driven anywhere. Below are some of the features: 1.) Headlights frenched, using '51 Ford bezels cut down 5/8" so as to not be too deep in the fender. 2.) Parking lights were relocated. 3.) Front bumper was moved back approx. 4" 4.) The tail lights are '51 Studebaker Commander with homemade buckets and mounted horizontally. 5.) Rear fenders are welded and moulded to the body, as is the stone deflector, which is also extended down at the ends to flow with the lower edge of the fenders. 6.) The rear bumper has been narrowed 3" and moved closer to the body. 7.) It has been nosed, decked and shaved. 8.) It originally came to me with no stainless trim, we added the Mercury stainless. 9.) It is chopped 4" at the B pillars, not sure of the measurement at the front and rear. I have the B Pillar cut out. 10.) Power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning, working spots, SBC, automatic trans, 11.) Restored, original 1950 Mercury accessory wheel 12.) All the receipts and paperwork
Problems: The paint did not come out as expected. It has some flaws. I wish it did not, because I did not pay for flaws. The door poppers do not work as well with the new interior. The doors are pretty tight. Someone could probably do some adjusting and get them to function a little better.
This is an old Kustom and I strongly urge you to come look at the car and drive it. Once it is sold, it is the property of the buyer. Car is sold as is. I can not be your eyes or ears. Payment due in full within seven days of auction end. Payment via cash or wire transfer only.

Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti 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.
