This Cougar has been well cared for over the years so the original paint, top and interior look great. It is not a garage queen or a museum bound dust collector, it is a driver. The magazine article shown claims that this Cougar was also built by Shelby Mustang in Las Vegas and also claims it was one of the three Shelby Cougars that was in the James Bond movie "Her Majesty's Service". AT BEST I BELIEVE THIS CAR IS A CLONE OF THE REAL SHELBY COUGARS USED AT THE MOVIE. This1969 cougar 428 car is claimed to have been owned by Carroll Shelby but there is no documentation. The FE motor has been warmed over and includes aluminum Shelby valve covers and a rare ram air cleaner assembly. The engine is coupled to a C6 automatic transmission connected to the Ford nodular case 9 inch differential. The car was also been upgraded with Shelby’s sway bar's front and rear and a Shelby roll bar. The body still has the original factory candy apple red paint job. Special features include a large hood scoop, an air dam and a rear spoiler. The Cougar also has Cobra insignias and Shelby wheels. With the original white convertible top up you can enjoy the air conditioning, power steering, power windows and power brakes. In the article about the Cougar, the previous order claimed the authenticity of the Cougar when Carroll Shelby signed the dash and spent time with the previous order. One way or another this Cougar Cobra Jet “tribute” car is fun to own and drive and gives you many stories to tell at your next outing. |

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
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!
Petrolicious shows Mercedes 280SL as architecture in motion
Wed, Jun 17 2015While still an absolute beauty today, the design of the pagoda-roof W113 Mercedes-Benz SL was revolutionary when it debuted. Moving away from the soft curves of the previous SL models, the all-new generation brought an upright, angular shape that was as much architectural as automotive. In the latest video from Petrolicious, owner and architect Daniel Monti expounds on the inspiration that he gets from his 1969 280SL's fantastic styling. The roof is the most famous design feature of this generation of SL. Look at the top from the front or back, and you can see a gentle, downward arc that evokes the look of a pagoda. That one styling element is also a fabulous counterpoint to a vehicle that is largely more angular than curvaceous. Petrolicious wonderfully illustrates how some of the SL's form-follows-function design aesthetic can be found in the architect's work in this video's heaping helping of mid-century modern goodness.
