Thanks for viewing my 1974 Mercury Cougar XR7 in brilliant silver and with the original red leather interior. The odometer is showing 60k miles and by the condition and mechanical smoothness of this car, we have to assume this is accurate. I have driven this car quite a bit recently and everything is working very nicely. The A/C kicks on like it should but blows ambient, so it may need a refresh, but all other items are working fantastically. She starts nicely, with the choke setting just as it should, and the transmission is silky smooth. The ride around town and up at highway speeds is just as it should be. The radio sounds very nice and all the gauges (including oil, temp and amp) are reading well. The body on this car is just stunning with that long Cougar hood and incredible silver color -- as the photos hopefully show -- and the interior is so impressively pristine you really need to stop by in person and check it out. You will not believe your eyes. The underbody is nice and clean, as is the engine bay and trunk. This just a really incredible car that wil make someone very proud to own. The motor is a 351 V8 OHV with a 2-barrel carb that is purrs contentedly at idle and with 275 fb of torque gets up and goes when you want it to. And with a good-sized 26 gal gas tank, you've got a generous running range for those long cruises to shows and weekend getaways. I hope you take a good look at all my photos and ask any questions you may have, because this is really a special car. I've included many, many more photos at the link below:

Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7

Sun, 31 Jul 2011

You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.

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.
