I LOADED PICTURES OF THE CAR WITH THE ORIGINAL WHEEL COVERS AND THE NEAR NEW TIRES THAT ARE MOUNTED ON A SET OF TORQUE THRUST D AMERICAN RACING WHEELS. I AM OFFERING FOR SALE ON EBAY AND ON OUR LOT FOR THAT MATTER MY 1967 MERCURY COUGAR. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE 2005 ACQUIRING IT FROM A FRIEND OF THE ORIGINAL OWNERS FAMILY OF THE CAR. IT WAS BOUGHT NEW FROM THE FORD MERCURY DEALER IN KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON AND IS A VERY FINE REPRESENTATION OF AN UN-RESTORED CLASSIC MODEL OF THE MERCURY COUGAR CAR LINE. IT IS JUST THE BASE MODEL COUGAR FOR 1967 BUT IT HAS HAD SOME GREAT CARE TAKEN OF IT FOR MOST OF IT'S LIFE. WHEN I BOUGHT IT I WAS IMMEDIATELY IMPRESSED WITH THE QUALITY OF THE ALL ORIGINAL CAR. IT IS JUST SO RARE TO FIND ONE THAT HASN'T BEEN TRASHED, REBUILT OR IN SOME CASES ALL TOTALLY RESTORED. I BOUGHT IT WITH THE INTENTION OF FINDING A COUGAR TO DROP IN A 428 CJ ENGINE THAT I OWN BUT THIS LITTLE GEM WAS JUST TOO NICE TO SURVIVE ALL OF THE YEARS, SO I DECIDED THAT IT SHOULDN'T BE MESSED WITH. I CHOOSE TO JUST MAKE IT DEPENDABLE, LOOK VERY NICE WITH THE NEW PAINT JOB AND NOW LET THE NEXT GUY PUT IT AWAY IN THEIR COLLECTION OF CLASSICS OR JUST DRIVE AND ENJOY IT. IT JUST WON'T TAKE TOO MUCH TO FIX THE LITTLE ISSUES THAT I MENTIONED ABOVE IN THE CONDITION REPORT AREA. THE SEQUENTIAL TURN SIGNALS WORK, THE HEADLAMP DOORS OPEN AND CLOSE CORRECTLY, ALL THE LIGHTS WORK, THE HORN HONKS, THE AM RADIO WORKS, ALL OF THE GLASS IS GOOD AND APPEARS TO ME TO ALL BE THE ORIGINAL CARLIGHT GLASS, EVEN THE ORIGINAL WINDSHIELD. THE CAR IS JUST SO SOLID, DRIVES OUT VERY NICE, VERY ROAD WORTHY AS I TAKE IT TO CAR SHOWS OCCASIONALLY. NO SERIOUS RUST ISSUES AT ALL ANYWHERE ON THIS CAR JUST THE SURFACE RUST ON THE SPRINGS, AND OTHER NON PAINTED COMPONENTS UNDERNEATH THE CAR. BUT ABSOLUTELY NO RUST IN THE WHEEL WELLS, TRUNK WELLS, OR ANY OF THE SUSPECT AREAS OF SO MANY OF THESE EARLY CARS. THIS CAR HAS NOTHING TO HIDE, NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF BY BIDDING ON IT AND BUYING THE CAR. SINCE I AM ALSO ONE OF THE OWNERS OF OUR CAR SALES AND SERVICE BUSINESS KNOWN AS MAIN STREET MOTORS AT 311 WEST MAIN IN ENTERPRISE, OREGON, I CAN ALSO OFFER FINANCING TO ASSIST YOU IN THE PURCHASE OF THIS CAR.

Ringbrothers shows off Coyote-powered 1968 Mercury Cougar

Thu, Feb 25 2021

We'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:

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:

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The 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.
