1972 Mercury Cougar 351 Cobra Jet Factory 4sp. 3.25 Posi Rear End. Very nice car. Completely documented .... Marti Report, Original Ford Invoice, Window Sticker (reproduction from Kevin Marti) ..... Factory Silver (Pewter Metallic), Black Vinyl Top and Black Leather. 99% Rust free ..... very solid. Southern Car it's whole life. The car was sold new in South Carolina and has been in Florida for the past 8 years. It has always been garaged. The car has excellent frame rails and floorboards which are all original and have never been fixed or patched. I rebuilt the transmission and put in a new clutch when I got the car 7 years ago. The rear end has been serviced and has new bearings and lube in it. I replaced the gas tank and sending unit. The rubber brake lines have been replaced. The interior is real nice and the seats have no rips in them. The headliner is original and is in good condition but has one small hole it is above the from windshield about the size of a dime. The drivers side door panel has a very small crack in the vinyl by the door lock button. The carpet is original but still looks good (I have a brand new carpet set that goes with the car). The motor runs good and has a Holley Carb on it now but I have the original Ford 4310 carb that the car came with. The exhaust is all new with Hooker Headers which have been Jet Hot coated. Besides the Headers the rest of the exhaust is all original and the tail pipes exit just like they did from the factory. I have the original exhaust manifolds that go with the car. The car sounds excellent with a very performance sounding exhaust note. There are a few very minor dents and scratches in the car from 42 years of use but nothing major. The A/C is all complete and hooked up but it is still an R12 system and either needs R12 put back in it or it needs to be converted to R134. The Radio is a factory AM FM stereo and it works perfect. This car has no cut wires behind the dash and has never had any type of aftermarket radio or electronics installed in it. The dash pad is perfect and has no cracks in it. The steering wheel is the 'rim blow' type of steering wheel which has a few cracks in it but is in over-all good condition for its age. The tach works. All of the window roll up and down like they should. The body 'buck' tag is still on the core support (see picture). I am the third owner and I've had the car for 7 years. This car is just a nice running and driving original car that can be driven now just the way that it is. Every time I take this car to a car show or a cruise it always gets lots of attention because most people don't know that Mercury put manual transmissions in Cougar's. Also, for the weight of the car the 351CJ motor really makes this car jump. The 351CJ engine was the most powerful engine that you could get in a 1972 Cougar. It is very excelerating to drive and always gets lots of 'thumbs up'. If you want something different than everyone else and something that has lots of class and performance you should check this car out. In the 7 years I've owned the car I've never seen another '72 4sp. 351CJ Cougar like this one. A very rare and interesting car!!! For more info - Curtis 813-seven 3 two -six 0 six 8. I have a lot more pictures on my Photobucket page ..... Ebay won't let me post the link here to my Photobucket page .... if anyone wants to see those pictures email me and I can send you the link.

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
Ringbrothers shows off Coyote-powered 1968 Mercury Cougar
Thu, Feb 25 2021We'll openly admit that not every SEMA build is our cup of tea. But this? A tastefully resto-modded 1968 Mercury Cougar with a 460-horsepower Ford Mustang V8? Yeah, this is right in our wheelhouse. Sadly, there was no in-pwerson SEMA show in 2020, so we missed out on gems like this one. SEMA or no SEMA, the aftermarket carries on, and co-owners Jim and Mike Ring of Ringbrothers (get it?) saw no reason to let their time and effort go to waste. When they're not building wild customs (see: 1,100-horsepower 1972 AMC Javelin AMX) or more subtle showcases (such as this Cougar or their 1971 K5 Chevy Blazer build from 2018), the folks at Ringbrothers crank out factory reproduction parts, whether for old-fashioned restoration or modification purposes. While '60s muscle cars are recurring build subjects for the two, the Cougar was the first of its kind they tackled. Keeping it in the family, Ringbrothers sourced a Ford 5.0-liter "Coyote" V8 and a 10-Speed Automatic (lifted from an F-150 Raptor, incidentally) for the build. They didn't stop with the driveline, of course. The suspension was overhauled with a little help from DSE and a set of HRE Series C1 C103 Forged 3-Piece wheels were thrown over upgraded brakes. "We put our heart into each car we build, and this Cougar is no exception," Jim said. "The finished product is mild and classy, yet any enthusiast instantly knows it's not stock. I imagine this is what Mercury designers would have come up with if they were building the Cougar today." "While we couldn't bring the car to the SEMA Show, we hope it can be shown to the public soon," Mike said. "We had never done a Cougar before, so this was a fun build. I love working with new shapes and coming up with new ideas." There's plenty to appreciate about this Cougar apart from the mechanicals, too. The finish is Augusta Green Metallic (courtesy of BASF), which was a factory color in 1968. You may know it by another name: Highland Green. There are a few custom exterior touches, but they're quite subtle and styled to be period-correct. The interior was also restored and updated, and it's where you'll find the only thing we're not fond of: that big, fat truck shifter. Gearbox choices notwithstanding, it's a bit of an eyesore. But considering how gorgeous the rest is, we'll give it a pass. Related Video:
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.
