McLeansville, North Carolina, United States

Thanks for looking. Here is my 68 cougar. I have been bracket racing it since the early 90's. It was Street \ Strip for a long time then I just quit driving it on the street. It could be put back on the street but you would need a parts car if you wanted to put it back original. It has a 351 Clevland with 12.3 compression ( I also have a set of TRW Forged flat top pistons for street ) 4 brl closed chamber heads with port plates in the intake. Torker intake. 6.90 lift solid roller cam. 1.73 roller rockers, and so on and so on. Rebuilt 2 years ago and only ran about 6 times (maybe 20 passes) The transmission is a freshly rebuilt ( LAST SUMMER) c4 full comp with reverse shift pattern and turbo-action 4500 stall. The rearend is a 9 in posi with 4.86 gears and Moser axle. 3in aluminum drive shaft. I just put new lower control arms and upper busshings in and have not aligned it yet but I will have that done before pick up. It needs a paint job and a vynle top ( they are 20+ years old) it looks ok from 10 ft away but shows it age up close. I have some parts like window trim and arm rests and wipers, but I dont have seats for it. I have a YouTube video at http://youtu.be/knYAbUlKzOs and I will try to add a video of it at the track in August last year. I was going to put it back on the street because I haven't raced much the past couple of years, but I have decided to sell it instead ( My wife says I'll regret it) Feel free to ask question and call me if you want to talk about it. I will probably put it on Craigslist also, so feel free to make a buy it now offer.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti 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.
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
