Rare 1969 Mercury Cougar Eliminator. The car has factory air and a dealer installed vinyl top. Original factory paint! Own a true gem. There are less than 300 of these original cars still remaining today! Marti Auto Report will be uploaded shortly!
This car is in great condition for the year and mileage. There is some obvious wear and tear on a car this old. Body is in good shape and the engine still runs strong. There are some dents on the drivers side rear quarter panel and some rust on the bottom of the drivers door. The transmission leaks fluid on occasion and needs to eventually be rebuilt. The clock on the dash functions sometimes, and the tack for the RPM has not been functional for years. I have not been able to figure out why the reverse lights don't illuminate when backing. There are a few tears in the rear headliner as pictured. Timing on this car does need to be set again as the car becomes too hot on days about 85 degrees.
It has a new Duralast Gold series battery this year. I have not been able to put much time into the car and would like to see it go somewhere where it will be enjoyed. Included are two sets of rims, the original style, and an American Racing set. The original air cleaner has been lost due to moves over the past several years. An electric holley fuel pump has replaced the mechanical one in 2006. New plugs were installed in 2006 as well. The car has been in the family since 1979. It has a new set of tires on the original rims from about 2006 with only about 1,000 miles on them. Shocks and fuel pump were replaced in 2006 as well. The car does need some work done to it and is not in perfect condition, but will surely bring pleasure to anyone who purchases it. Unfortunately I do not have the time I wish I had to put into this car and I know anyone who knows what it is will be glad to have one.
Please ask questions.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
