1984 Mercury Cougar Ls Sedan 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
White Pigeon, Michigan, United States
My wife & I have owned this car since '92 & are the 2nd owners. We've been the only 2 people driving it the whole time. The 302 V-8 (5.0 Liter Throttle Body Fuel Injected) engine runs fine, Even though the car has 201-K on it. AOD (Automatic with Overdrive) transmission works great too. Radiator is the original one that was re-cored 4 yrs. ago. 8.8" rear axle has 2.70 ratio gears (I believe) & is in good condition as well. Along with this purchase I'm also including a drivers side rust-free door as parts. Engine & trans. (& rear end) are original to the car & never been apart. This vehicle is not to be considered for driving purposes due to severe rust on the unibody near the rear axle area. Trailering it would be a must upon purchase. The only rust free sheetmetal body panels on it are the hood; Roof; & trunk lid. It would be an excellent parts car for one this same yr. or you could use the drivetrain for another project car. It also has a rack & pinion steering set-up that could be used in another project. Car is 100% complete & you can hear it run upon purchase & it could even be driven onto a car trailer for transit to your location, Per buyer expense. I have this priced near what the scrap price is in our local area, But hate to do that if someone can use the drivetrain or other parts from it. I'd still be driving it if the Michigan winters wouldn't have caught up to it. Drivetrain has a lot of life left. (It was parked just recently). Thank you for checking out my listing!!! |

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

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.
