THIS IS THE CAR THE 1969 MERCURY COUGAR ALWAYS SHOULD HAVE BEEN.    evil, mean, sleak and sinister.  this southern california cougar has gotten the full “driven” treatment.  murdered high gloss black paint,  de-badged, lowered front and rear, california rake,  18” staggered wheels with fresh, aggressive tread tires.  features the famous ford 351 powerplant, coupled to floor shifted automatic transmission for comfort as well as performance.  full flow headers lead into custom 2 1/2 ” metered and equalized exhaust.  flowmaster dual exhaust and bolonga sliced exhaust out the back give this car a great sound and look.  18” staggered chrome ridler 5 spoke wheels have timeless good looks, and look great burning rubber.  this solid and original california car looks good coming and going, with operating hidden headlights, and famous sequential turn signals in the rear.  the odometer shows less than 100k miles on this example.  currently registered, licensed and titled in California, ready for the road.  too many extras to mention, so we compiled a video for your review.  with high flow chrome air cleaner covering the 4bbl carb, aluminum intake manifold,  color coordinated plug wires, along with cobra valve covers lets everyone know you have some ponies under the hood.  power steering and originally fitted with air conditioning (most parts are still in place).  a grant wood steering wheel and a fresh dark red seats, headliner, carpeting and trim adorns the great period look of this updated “resto-mod”.  this car was built to look clean, and leave off all the bolt on scoops, wings, decals and “boy-toys” lots of the other cars have.  this car shows off the muscular clean mature look that the car should have had from day one.  but day one is now here………..and here is your chance to own/drive/show it.  combine that with a modern am/fm mp3 bluetooth / hands free phone pioneer remote control stereo, and you have your modern conveniences built right in already

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Thu, 24 Feb 2011

Bugatti 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.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

The 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.
