DOUBLE THE MUSCLE!
I am uping the ante, and now selling BOTH of my 1968 Mercury Cougar Coupes BOTH numbers matching V8 302 engines. BOTH have the C4 Automatic Transmission, and Factory Disk Brakes, Factory Power Steering, Factory A/C. I am liquidating ALL of my Cougar parts as well! This includes extra front and rear windows, side windows, extra fenders, extra set of bumpers, extra set of hideaway light housings,extra set of Magnum rims, extra set of hubcaps.There is soooo much more that I cannot list it all. Both have factory Power Steering, Power brakes, and the factory A/C components are there ( though not hooked up). The Black Cougar Odometer says 21219, but probably has turned over. The Green Cougar has only 53K original miles. The engine is safely stored away outside of the car I have both original purchase booklets for the cars when they left their lots. Several manuals and magazines including the original CAR and DRIVER that featured the review of the 1st Cougars! The Black Cougar has the internal body has been sprayed with a form of Rhino Lining, and the outside bodywork had the standard marker lights shaved off to give it a meaner, sleeker look. The fenders look clean and The engine has been cleaned up, painted, and new plugs/wires/distributor. Cleaned and reinstalled the Holley carburetor. New Alternator Belt Vacuum lines rerun New Battery New Headlight Switch New Brake Switch New Accelerator Pump New Brake Booster New Master Cylinder New Fuel Tank New Fuel Sending unit The Green Cougar has a very straight body and near ZERO rust. Front hood and rear trunk are in great shape. The floorboards are awesome! Since it was disassembled for painting, several pieces were bought NEW and just waiting to be put in. Pieces include NEW Windshields, NEW carpet kit, NEW front and rear seats, New Power steering hoses, New rubbers, New Vinyl for the Landau Top, and MORE! The engine was removed in order to repaint and recondition, and I have extra set of cylinder heads with extra push-rods, and rockers. Engine is being stored safe and sound in my shed to keep the elements away from it. Lots of extra badges as well. I hate to part with them, but I have to condense my project inventory. You can see the first Cougar restoration process at the Classic Cougar Community site in the Project Forum under the "Twins in Cougartown" heading. I have several extra pieces that will further complete the car to full restoration, and give options to alter the look of the car, or you can resell for more cash. The body is black matte primer, so you can simply drive into the paint shop and pick your color. The remaining components needing troubleshooting are Turn Signals (original sequential lights aren't responding.. I am not an electrician..but there are 3 sets of Sequential Signal components.) Front Seats are worn (they are over 50 years old!) A/C needs to be hooked up, flushed, and charged... There are LOTS of pictures so I just included as many as Ebay will allow. But I will send any pictures you wish to see of any parts, pieces, or car sections. The NADA had listed these cars Style/Year/Engine/Options at Poor Condition -$12k Good Condition - $20K Excellent Condition - $33K ..and you will have 2.. |

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
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.
Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
