Thank you for looking at my 1969 Mercury Cougar convertible. The car has all original sheet metal and as near rust free of a 60's car as I've ever had. The car was always a Southern car and was originally Wimbledon White. The underneath is still the factory white (see the pictures). At some point, many years ago, the Cougar was painted red. The exterior had a few very small areas of the beginning of rust and you can see where the body shop cut it out the small areas. The car comes mostly complete and with new parts (see the pictures). The front and rear bumpers are included. Some of the original engine parts and all the glass is included as well. The Cougar is an original 351 V8 Four Barrel car. The Cougar DOES NOT need floor pans nor a trunk pan nor shock towers (see pictures). They are almost as solid and original as they were in 1969!

I purchased the car in Mississippi at a body shop after the customer didn't pay for the start of the restoration. There's no motor and trans. The machine shop kept them both for an unpaid bill as well. The owner of the body shop sold me the Cougar with the intention of filing for a lien title in the state of Mississippi, but I never received a title as promised. In Missouri we can file for an Abandonment Title, but I haven't gotten around to doing so.

My loss is your gain. I have no time to complete the present projects I started years ago. It'll take me years just to even complete the projects I have already started.

Please email and or call with any questions. Thank you, Chris 816.590.7660

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!

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.

Junkyard Gem: 1973 Mercury Montego MX Brougham Sawzall Convertible Edition

Fri, Apr 21 2017

You know how it goes— the weather is warm, you want to do some top-down driving, and you lack a proper convertible... but you do have a hooptie Detroit car on one side of the garage and a big ol' Sawzall on the other. Put the two together and you have a Sawzall Convertible, which generally lasts for about one summer before it gets scrapped. Here's a fine example of such a car, photographed in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service junkyard. Most Sawzall Convertibles (yes, it should be called a roadster, but nobody does that) have raw, ragged metal edges, or maybe duct tape over the stumps of the amputated pillars, but someone went to the trouble to weld nice smooth metal covers over the hackage on this one. The windshield is gone. Instead, the windshield frame is ringed by tongue depressors held in place by gooey roofing tar. No, we don't know why. The Montego MX Brougham was a hot-selling personal luxury coupe in its day, selling for $3,041 in 1973. That's just under $17,000 in 2017 dollars. It must have been fun, cruising this thing on Bay Area streets with no roof and a rattle-can spray-bomb job. This one has the optional 400-cubic-inch V8 engine, rated at 171 horsepower. What would this car's original buyer have thought of its fate? This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
