1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 Convertible, one of 4024 made. one of 219 in Medium Blue Metallic, original Blue Leather interior, 89k+ original miles. I have a big file of receipts for normal maintenance type stuff at shops around Nebraska, going back to the early 80's, showing a mileage progression to current, so I believe the mileage to be accurate. the original engine runs like you'd expect a well maintained 89k mile Ford V8 to run. Currently shows 89,470. Also comes with the original owner's manual, a 69 Mercury full line brochure & Cougar spec book.

In the last 5 years, it's had the original carb rebuilt, timing chain & water pump replaced. left valve cover gasket, new radiator & hoses. A/C Converted to R134, the clutch engages & runs but ac doesn't blow cold. Car spends a lot of time sitting so likely has a leak somewhere. Transmission front pump seal is starting to leak but shifts perfect otherwise. The fuel gauge & clock don't work, tires have about 500 miles on them. Cruise control does work-never seen one of these with cruise. The AM/FM stereo & 8-track work. Dash pad is in perfect condition, All the power windows work, the right rear one is missing the chrome switch face, but still works. the left rear window, the rollers are loose at the glass, where they ride on the regulator track. Goes up fine if you help it, but tries to bind sometimes otherwise. The master window switch, the master lock out switch that disables the other windows-is missing. Both those switches are available reproduction elsewhere on Ebay for about $45ea.

The guy I got the car from, was an instructor at an Automotive technical school in the area & he put on; a new flowmaster exhaust, replaced all the wheel bearings, calipers, rotors, M/C, brake hard lines and hoses, wheel cylinders, rotors, drums, the rear axle seals have been replaced. new check valves for the headlamp vacuum operated system, which-still leaks down a few minutes after the engine is shut off, like they all do, but they work perfectly otherwise & are aligned as original. It always amazes me to see these 69/70 Cougars that get rotisserie restored-and the headlamps/grills are aligned like crap. The car was repainted at some point in it's past, I think a bit darker than original. Ahead of the trunk lid the paints flaked off as well as a spot on the LF fender. The quarters where replaced at the time but are starting to bubble up in some spots. The trunk & rockerboxes/spring perches are in decent shape, the floor in the front footwells, someone put some sheet metal over the original rusted floor pan, under the original carpet, which is faded in spots. The convertible top is enough to keep the wind & sun off, doesn't have any major tears, but should ultimately be replaced. the rear glass hinge-the plastic strip between the top & bottom sections of glass where it folds is completely separated. The top mechanism works perfectly, has no rust & doesn't have any unusual play in the pivots. The rear bumper has a ding in it, I have an extra that comes with the car.

This car could really sparkle, fully restored or you can enjoy turning heads every where you go in it, just as I've done-still plenty of time this season to cruise it before winter! This car was optioned out to be the perfect summer cruiser & I think, the perfect color combination.

Remember, your bid is a legal, binding contract. A non paying winning bidder has a very strong chance of being tracked down, tarred, feathered, publicly shamed etc. Buyer responsible for transportation & pickup-in a "reasonable amount of time." I really need to reclaim some garage space for other projects. I can coordinate with your shipper as needed.

***THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION, WINNING BIDDER TAKES IT HOME!!!***

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.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
