1968 Mercury Cougar 289 2bbl on 2040-cars
Manhattan, Kansas, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1968 Mercury Cougar. Well optioned out of the factory. Power steering, power front disc brakes, air conditioning.This was my project for the last year and I have lost interest and decided to move on and focus on my family. I received the vehicle from a friend who purchased the vehicle from the original family in Wamego, KS. It was stored inside for most of its life, but the previous owner needed room, so it was moved out. Motor Turns over, runs and idles, but carburetor is leaking.
I bought spark plugs, cap and rotor and points and condenser. Transmission grabs nicely as I have put it in Drive and reverse in my driveway. Brakes will need to be completely overhauled. Very little peddle and fluid drains out somewhere. The interior is surprisingly in decent shape. the leather is cracked. Well optioned as it has the rare headrest and the shoulder belts. The floor is solid, carpet needs to be replaced. Very little rust on the vehicle, looks to have been undercoated from the factory. Rear Trunk wells have rusted out, no other rust can be seen(I have not put it up on a lift.) When I received the car it was missing the drivers door. I located a replacement door, but misaligned the hinges and the front fender needs to be moved forward to open the door or damage to both the fender and door will occur. Windshield is cracked. All other glass is in good shape and I have the driver's door glass in the trunk. Roof has a fair amount of bondo on it, possibly from an earlier repaint. I do not see any holes, and there are not leaks inside the car. Previous owner may have backed into a mailbox, dent on the trunk and taillight panel.( I have a good replacement Trunk Lid that will be included) I have both tailights and extras, was told the sequential turn signals still work, have not tested yet. Vehicle has the original wire hub caps and steel wheels. Tires will need to be replaced sooner rather than later. 3 hold air, the right front has a bad valve and will leak out over night. Many Spare parts and trim will be included. Should not take long to make this one a good driver, possibly a show car. Clean title. Please look over all pictures and ask questions. Vehicle will need to be towed, more than likely on a flatbed trailer. I have described the vehicle to the best of my knowledge, I recommend inspecting the vehicle before committing a bid; vehicle is sold as is, where is. |

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

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.
eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible
Wed, 31 Aug 2011Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.
