Here’s a 1969 Cougar XR7 Conv Project car rustfree from Nevada. Was going to make this a Restomod out of it. Didn’t care how complete it was.You must HAVE a good foundation for a good car. The owner started to restore this by taking it apart and then pass on. As you know these First year 1969 Cougar Conv have been taking off in value in recent years. This is being sold as a basic shell--No motor --trans interior and misc. This is perfect for a replacement body for your damage --rusted out car to be replaced. This would be cheaper to build. Make the car your own. LETS DO THE MATH….to replace floors in a 1969 Mustang or Cougar your average cost is 3000.00. Quarter panels brought used off a western car Dealer would run about 800-1000 per side not including shipping 500-750 each side or together 1200. Buying the repo’s 1/4s run 400.00 ea plus 100.00 per side or yours for 500.00 each side. . Now the tricking part is ... trying to find a good body shop to replace it for you --800-1000 per side and on time with a good job ?? And that’s not all the another things also.. SO.. Your far ahead of the game just getting one that doesn’t need so much work. If you have one .Rusted out body...it would still be cheaper to get a rust free body to start with. Look at the Marti report this was a fully loaded car! One YEAR color in Copper/White interior One of 74 XR7 Conv built code--with PS PB PW AC Stereo. Condition--Rust free body Nevada straight body --You Do Not have you replace panels or floors. I see no patches….Paint is terrible-peeling -faded-scratched -some bondo here and their-dents--pass 1/4 was sideswiped at one time and was full of bondo….it was replaced with a Brand New repo one--nice job !! Interior is missing--except dash and rear seat--also some wiring--floors are nice with minor pitting in spot or two--I see only a couple minor pin holes--windshield is cracked.. same as dash pad--Desert cars get their interiors burnt up and one repaint faded paint job.

This Mercury Cyclone is an American Muscle Car in Norway

Tue, Oct 27 2015

The picturesque Norwegian countryside certainly doesn't seem like the natural stomping grounds for a 1969 Mercury Cyclone, but owner Alexander Brevik makes the odd combo look like an ideal match. Even with the beautiful surroundings, Brevik sees no need to enjoy the scenery; he'd much rather just be driving this vintage muscle car. Take a ride with him in the latest clip from Petrolicious. Like many of us, Brevik's automotive obsession started at childhood, and today he has amassed a multitude of projects to wrench on. While he loves working on all of these cars, we all need a break sometimes, and that's what the Cyclone is for. Even when the rest of his collection isn't running, this orange beauty is always ready to go. Brevik may not pay much attention to the landscape, but Petrolicious makes the muscle car look fantastic in the Norwegian woods nonetheless. With its rumbling V8 engine and three-speed manual, this Cyclone turns out to be a perfect cruising companion in the Land of the Midnight Sun. And if you just can't get enough of classic muscle cars and the people who love them, check out our video coverage of the 2015 Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit down below. Related Video:

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:

Has the Mercury Marauder gotten better with age?

Fri, Oct 23 2015

In the early 2000s Mercury desperately wanted to develop some edge for its brand – seemingly stuck between a quasi-premium, quasi-performance space in the Ford Universe. The Marauder is perhaps the most famous of the vehicles that resulted from those efforts, and is rapidly approaching Modern Classic status, today. Effectively a murdered out Grand Marquis with some updated trim pieces Â– what are company parts bins for, if not raiding? Â– the Marauder looked convincingly like a bad guy car. The 4.6-liter V8 under its hood that had been breathed on by engineers for a little more power, kicking out 302 horsepower and 318 pound-feet of torque from the factory. Not exactly Ferrari-baiting numbers, but it'd give your local cop's car a run for its money. Being a wild child of the last decade, of course our friends at MotorWeek had it on the program. What better way to test your mean-mugging muscle sedan than with John Davis' tanned and steady hands?
