Cougar Xr7 Factory Black 3-speed Power Disc Brakes on 2040-cars
Year:1968
Mileage:100000
Location:
College Park, Maryland, United States
|
Original 1968 Cougar XR7 with 3-speed transmission and power front disc brakes. Rare factory black with saddle XR7 interior (1 of 263 per Cougar By The Numbers). Good floors and frame rails. Excellent battery tray, shock towers and engine side panels. Doors close good. Decent glass with no cracks. Some rust in torgue boxes (see pictures) and some rust in lower rear quarters (especially passenger side) and trunk drops. Solid trunk floors. Original sheet metal and nice front grill. Original 302 engine long gone. Has a 1970 351 4V Cleveland heads and 1972 block in it from the 1980s that was rebuilt but piston size was incorrect causing motor to seize after a few miles due to tight pistons. Then never put back on the road. The heads were taken off at that time but never reinstalled and placed back on the road, so the car sat in a garage for 30-years. Good headers and dual exhaust. Nice thick rear sway bar installed just like a 1970 Boss 302 Mustang. Been sitting for years so needs work to run again. No drive shaft, radiator or carb. Whats you see is what you get. Looks like solid original paint. No factory vinyl top! Make a nice project in Darth Vader black. Factory door tag and window VIN plates in place. Clean Maryland title. I reserve the right to end auction early. Sold "as is" and I expect full payment in 10-days. No Reserve!

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
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.
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.
