Here is a 1969 Mercury Cougar Eliminator body shell with some of the Eliminator parts including the hood scoop, the original rear plastic spoiler and the original fron chin spoiler. Both spoilers are damaged but could possibly be repaired. This car was delivered in North Carolina and has a clear North Carolina title and the original owners manual. It was a blue blue car with an automatic and a Windsor four barrell engine. It has been hit in the passenger quarter and fixed at one time and also got a bump in the rear. I used to restore Mustangs and Cougars but got burned out when prices went nuts. This car is shell only and what you see is what you will get. I will not in any way ship this car. You will have to pick it up. I will not sell any parts away from this car and I will not do a buy it now. It will need a full restoration and a lot of parts but for what I am starting this at the hood scoop is worth more. It will need at very least a passenger quarter, two doors,a hood and trunk lid and an engine and tranny and all the glass and all the interior. I have a bunch of small leftover stuff for Mustangs and Cougars that will go with it.Nothing really valuable just stuff. I have the Marti Report for this car also. It has been stored inside for over 10 years and now it is outside so it is time to go. It is a restorable car but is pretty beat up. Remember that I will not ship this and it must be picked up. It can stay where it is at for a month and then it must go.

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7
Sun, 31 Jul 2011You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
