1969 Mercury Cougar Xr7 428 Cobra Jet on 2040-cars
Ward, Arkansas, United States
Up for sale is my 69 XR7 Cobra Jet Cougar project car. This car has its complete original drive trane with block date 9C20, heads both 9D4, intake 8K19, distributor 9C8, original exhaust manifolds (not removed so no dates to include), finned valve covers and original breather set up. The carburetor is missing, the starter is a rebuilt unit and the alternator is a Motorcraft. I did not check the date on the water pump. The smog set up is also missing. The original radiator C8ZE S1 date 9C4 and Clutch Fan C9ZE E are still in place. The original fan shroud is in place but broken beyond repair.
It also has its original transmission with the R Servo and tag PGB AF1. It has the original drive shaft with original universals and the original N Case Rearend. The exhaust pipes and mufflers have been replaced. Basically this is an all original car still in original paint with original interior that survived. It shows its wear and tear for sure but do not be deceived. This is a very restorable car that is solid with great floors, torqe boxes, rails, engine panels and a perfect lower cowl panel to boot. The passenger quarter and door need replaced. The driver quarter needs patched. The driver door and passenger fender can be used but need some work. The driver fender could be straitened but I would replace. With that said, I will post up a lot of pictures and you can make your own assessments of this car. |

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
