1954 Mercury Monterey Coupe "Rat Rod"

For sale:

Probably the coolest 54 Merc “restomod” you’ve ever put your grubby little hands on. Definitely not for those who prefer to be unnoticed. Black on black, and a very rare find.

If you’ve ever attempted to restore or modify a classic or antique car into a daily driver with many of the amenities of today’s vehicles, you can probably appreciate the labor and dedication that has been invested in this vehicle. The modern touches are:

*Air Conditioning – yep, it’s real and it really works.

*Late 80’s 5.0 liter 302 with 4 barrel carb – Just enough oomph to get your attention, coupled with an AOD transmission, all from the “bulletproof” 5.0 mustang you know and love. AKA – one of Ford’s most reliable powertrains.

*Mustang II front end with power disk brakes and power steering…stops as well as it goes!

*Custom “more than you can ever use” sound system. Tastefully done, including sub, amps, and speakers galore, all installed with style and substance. Bluetooth capable.

*Additional “bad ass optima” in the trunk on top of the “bad ass optima” battery under the hood. If you run out of power while listening to your ridiculous sound system, you’ve been sitting still entirely too long.

*Remote actuated doors via either wireless remote or hidden switches, door handles have been shaved.

*Flat Black “Bad to the bone” paint, and tinted windows all around. The coolest rims and tires that could possibly go on a 54 mercury are on this one, huge thick whitewalls and smooth moon hubcaps!

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.

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!

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
