1969 Mercury Cougar Convertible 

Here's a creme puff of a car. A one owner Southern California totally rust free driver. This car has only had one owner. A little old lady named Beverly bought this car new. The car has been tuned up, checked for safety, road tested and is ready to go to a new owner to take it to the next level. This car won't need much. It drives straight and true down the road. It has been detailed and left alone. I even left her bumper stickers and custom license plate frame on the car. This car will need tires soon. They are cracked from the warm Southern California weather. It was optioned with the stout 351- 2 barrel engine. One of the neat features of this car are the functioning rear cougar specific rear blinkers, they have been checked and do function correctly. The headlight doors also function as they should. This is also an A/C car even though it is a convertible. The A/C has not been serviced but is holding pressure.  It does not blow cold. Once serviced it will be nice to have on those extra hot days. The rim blow wheel is not functioning at this time but is crack free as is the dash pad,  all in great shape. This car has been garaged its entire life. The carpet is faded a little. The driver seat has a 5 inch tear in the seam that has been glued down.  Besides that it is in excellent, supple shape. The top is also in great shape, no tears. The rear glass is also in tact. This car is 100% rust free.  This Cougar does look great and is a rust free specimen. It was driven with joy and pride (per the plate) and does have chips, nicks and bruises here and there. It can be enjoyed as is or taken up a notch. Its the new owners call. She is only untouched and original once.

This Cougar is being sold as is and no reserve. Bid to win and ask all questions.

Thanks and good luck!!

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday

Mon, 04 Oct 2010

Ford 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.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
