This vehicle has been stored in a garage for the past 20 years. Only 3 spots of rust evident, around the rear wheels (see pictures). Now that replacement panels are available for these sections of the rear quarters this repair is straight-forward. The previous owner cut out the rust on the driver side; the rust on the passenger side is minimal. The rest of the car is rust free, no rust in the frame, doors, trunk, trunk lid, tail panel, roof, rear valence, hood, or front fenders. I did notice a rust hole on the driver side rear quarter panel around the wheel well, probably sits under the GT side trim, very small and appears to be superficial. Torque boxes and floor pans are great. There are four quarter inch holes in the roof just above the rear window where someone attempted to mount a rear set of louvers. As you can see in the pictures the car comes with both front and rear bumpers with brackets. The front grille is complete and almost flawless, but there is a piece of the black louvered plastic missing that is less than 2 inches long x half inch tall just behind the gun sight, should be easy to fix. The car includes all of the hard to get and correct parts to install power disc brakes and power steering (correct steering box, brake pedal, power brake booster, spindles, steering control valve and slave cylinder, brake proportioning valve). The car also comes with the spring loaded rear license plate bracket in excellent condition. Fender caps all around are in great condition. Car includes parts stacked on the hood and roof and on the floor (drive shaft, valve covers, hub caps, D0OE radiator) as shown in pictures. Does not include windshield seen in picture with bumpers. There is also a 351 cleveland block in the engine compartment, but it is not original to the car, no transmission in the car. Mileage listed above was only entered to satisfy eBay, mileage is unknown.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti 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 2010Jill 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!
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
