Up for sale is a very rare 1969 Mercury Cougar Eliminator. The Eliminator was Mercury's answer to sister-company Ford's Mach I and Boss Mustangs, and is a very rare and special muscle car... only 2,250 total were produced in 1969. They were only made in four colors: Competition Orange, White, Yellow, and Bright Blue Metallic. There were only 106 made in blue, making it the rarest of the rare. How many are left?
This particular car is in excellent condition inside and out. It shows 74,473 miles on the odometer, believed to be original. One repaint in original Bright Blue Metallic, fresh reproduction factory interior, perfect dash pad, gauges, etc. Gas gauge reads a little lower than actual, and the rim blow horn does not work, but otherwise everything works as it should, no apparent issues. The body is straight, paint is nice and shiny, interior great, running gear strong, etc. A great example of a very rare car. I'd rate the car a solid 7.0-7.5 of 10 or higher in all respects. Not perfect, but very nice throughout. Lights, turn signals *(sequential!), headlamp doors, gauges, tach, speedo, interior courtesy lights, etc. all work. Nice upgraded AM/FM/CD/Aux radio, and I'll include the ordinal as well. The Marti report verifies the car as an authentic Eliminator, and features the following information: Serial Number Information Serial Number 9F91M564424 9 1969 F Built at Dearborn 91 Cougar Hardtop M 351 4v High Performance Engine 64424th Mercury vehicle scheduled for production at Dearborn DOOR DATA PLATE INFORMATION: 65A Cougar Hardtop 6 Bright Blue Metallic Paint, Ford #3077-A 5AA BlackVinyl High Back Bucket Seats 16D Scheduled for build: April 16th, 1969 54 Seattle Ordering District 9 3.25 Optional Axle Ratio X FMX Automatic Transmission Dealer # 54C009 Your vehicle was ordered with the following features: Eliminator Package FMX Merc-O-Matic transmission Optional axle ratio F70-14 Raised white letter tires Console Power front disc brakes Power steering AM radio Decor Group Remote control left hand racing mirrors Heavy-duty suspension While every effort is being made to describe this vehicle accurately, it is in fact a 44-year-old classic, and therefore being sold as-is, without warranty or guarantee expressed, written, or implied. You are welcomed and encouraged to have a private vehicle inspection performed at your cost. Transportation is the full responsibility of the buyer. I will make myself available to your shipper for loading. Payment is due within three days of auction's end via bank wire transfer or cash in person. You may call me directly at 360-936-9257 with any questions you may have. I reserve the right to end the auction early, as I have the vehicle listed for sale locally as well. I am open to a "best offer" if you would like to make yours. |

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
Icon and Stealth EV are building an electric Derelict Mercury
Mon, May 14 2018Icon, a company known for its high-quality restomod vehicles, is building another Derelict, this one a 1949 Mercury coupe. While the fact Icon is building another one of its sleeper hot rods with patina isn't the most shocking, what's under the hood is. The company has teamed up with Stealth EV to turn this latest Derelict into an electric car. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The car was shown in the above Twitter post with video. The exterior is just what you'd expect from an Icon Derelict. It's solid but with a weathered finish. And even as the guy from Stealth EV approaches the car, it looks like it has a V8 under the hood. But as he explains, there's actually the two motor controllers and half of a Tesla battery pack under there. It's just that they've all been given some classy looking metal casings and mounted to look like a V8. Apparently the motors themselves are in the transmission tunnel. The Stealth EV rep says it uses a pair of AM Racing motors. Depending on which motor controllers the companies are using, those motors could produce as much as 700 horsepower. Power will go to the rear wheels and no transmission will be used, making it direct drive. It will have a limited-slip differential, and the whole car sits on an Art Morrison chassis with independent suspension. This actually isn't the first electric Icon, nor the first developed with Stealth EV. Before this, the companies created a totally awesome electric Volkswagen Thing. That little truck made much less power at 180 horses, but it was also a way smaller and lighter vehicle. Related Video:
