This is a custom built replica street version racecar of the Wood Brothers Mercury that Hall of Fame driver David Pearson drove to defeat Hall of Fame driver Richard Petty in the memorable 1976 Daytona 500. In that famous race, both drivers spun off the track as they approached the finish line, Pearson was able to recover first to take the checkered flag in what was arguably the most exciting Daytona 500 race finish ever. Recently elected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame, David Pearson had one of the most distinguished racing careers in motorsports. This street version replica racecar was custom built from the ground up by Gateway Classic Mustang in St. Louis, Missouri. The car was also featured on Hot Rod Television on Speed in 2011. The car was donated to the Darrell Gwynn Foundation for auction at the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona where it hammered sold for $90,000 in 2011. It is a 1974 Mercury as opposed to the original car which was a 1976 model. This amazing car features a Ford Racing 521ci V8 engine mated to a Keisler RS600 5-speed manual transmission. The engine has aluminum Ford Racing Super Cobra Jet heads, mechanical roller camshaft, Holley 4150 4-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Torker II 460 intake, MSD ignition and wires, MSD distributor, KRC steering pump and a BeCool aluminum radiator with twin electric fans. It has 10: 1 compression and it produces 609hp and 630 lb. ft. of torque. It has a Ford 9 inch rear end. The side exit exhaust is custom fabricated as are the headers. The BF Goodrich g-Force TA slicks are on Cragar mag wheels. The interior features a Keisler shifter, racing style dash, stripped interior, Pro-Comp gauges, full roll bar, Simpson 5-point racing harness, Procar by Scat Extreme Competition seats, push button starter and an Ididit steering column with tilt wheel and a Grant racing steering wheel. In the trunk is an Optima battery and a racing fuel cell. It has a Wilwood brake system with Baer disc brakes and a brake bias adjustor. The paint is from Sherwin-Williams and is from the Barrett-Jackson Collector Color chart. The base is Snow White and the Purolator livery was created using Red Hot Chili Pepper and Blisterin Blue. It runs amazingly well and starts right up. The cost to duplicate would easily be in the 6 figure range. Working lights including turn signals and interior lights etc. E brake system and hood release all restored along with roll up windows locking doors and trunk with original keys and wiper motors, etc etc. Amazing car. Car has only 19 miles since completion. A great car to add to your collection in the garage and be the envy of your friends! I am the Owner and selling the car titled in my name.

Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack
Sat, May 30 2015With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.
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!
Impala SS vs. Marauder: Recalling Detroit’s muscle sedans
Thu, Apr 30 2020Impala SS vs. Marauder — it was comparo that only really happened in theory. ChevyÂ’s muscle sedan ran from 1994-96, while MercuryÂ’s answer arrived in 2003 and only lasted until 2004. TheyÂ’re linked inextricably, as there were few options for powerful American sedans during that milquetoast period for enthusiasts. The debate was reignited recently among Autoblog editors when a pristine 1996 Chevy Impala SS with just 2,173 miles on the odometer hit the market on Bring a Trailer. Most of the staff favored the Impala for its sinister looks and said that it lived up to its billing as a legit muscle car. Nearly two-thirds of you agree. We ran an unscientific Twitter poll that generated 851 votes, 63.9 percent of which backed the Impala. Muscle sedans, take your pick: — Greg Migliore (@GregMigliore) April 14, 2020 Then and now enthusiasts felt the Impala was a more complete execution with guts. The Marauder, despite coming along later, felt more hacked together, according to prevailing sentiments. Why? On purpose and on paper theyÂ’re similar. The ImpalaÂ’s 5.7-liter LT1 V8 making 260 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque was impressive for a two-ton sedan in the mid-Â’90s. The Marauder was actually more powerful — its 4.6-liter V8 was rated at 302 hp and 318 lb-ft. The ImpalaÂ’s engine was also used in the C4 Corvette. The MarauderÂ’s mill was shared with the Mustang Mach 1. You can see why they resonated so deeply with Boomers longing for a bygone era and also captured the attention of coming-of-age Gen Xers. Car and DriverÂ’s staff gave the Marauder a lukewarm review back in ‘03, citing its solid handling and features, yet knocking the sedan for being slow off the line. In a Hemmings article appropriately called “Autopsy” from 2004, the ImpalaÂ’s stronger low-end torque and smooth shifting transmission earned praise, separating it from the more sluggish Mercury. All of this was captured in the carsÂ’ acceleration times, highlighting metrically the differences in their character. The Impala hit 60 miles per hour in 6.5 seconds, while the Marauder was a half-second slower, according to C/D testing. Other sites have them closer together, which reinforces the premise it really was the little things that separated these muscle cars. Both made the most of their genetics, riding on ancient platforms (FordÂ’s Panther and General MotorsÂ’ B-body) that preceded these cars by decades. Both had iconic names.
