1969 Mercury Cougar Convertible 

Here's a creme puff of a car. A one owner Southern California totally rust free driver. This car has only had one owner. A little old lady named Beverly bought this car new. The car has been tuned up, checked for safety, road tested and is ready to go to a new owner to take it to the next level. This car won't need much. It drives straight and true down the road. It has been detailed and left alone. I even left her bumper stickers and custom license plate frame on the car. This car will need tires soon. They are cracked from the warm Southern California weather. It was optioned with the stout 351- 2 barrel engine. One of the neat features of this car are the functioning rear cougar specific rear blinkers, they have been checked and do function correctly. The headlight doors also function as they should. This is also an A/C car even though it is a convertible. The A/C has not been serviced but is holding pressure.  It does not blow cold. Once serviced it will be nice to have on those extra hot days. The rim blow wheel is not functioning at this time but is crack free as is the dash pad,  all in great shape. This car has been garaged its entire life. The carpet is faded a little. The driver seat has a 5 inch tear in the seam that has been glued down.  Besides that it is in excellent, supple shape. The top is also in great shape, no tears. The rear glass is also in tact. This car is 100% rust free.  This Cougar does look great and is a rust free specimen. It was driven with joy and pride (per the plate) and does have chips, nicks and bruises here and there. It can be enjoyed as is or taken up a notch. Its the new owners call. She is only untouched and original once.

This Cougar is being sold as is and no reserve. Bid to win and ask all questions.

Thanks and good luck!!

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.

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill 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!
