1989 Mercury Cougar XR7 3.8 V6 supercharged engine, white exterior with blue interior. The engine runs but runs rough at idle, if you rev it up a little bit it smooths out. The oil looks good on the dipstick and under the oil fill cap, I didn't see any milkshake oil. The engine will need some work, the tensioner and alternator will need replaced, plus it needs a fan and shroud and battery. The supercharger runs ok, makes a little bit of noise, might need a bearing or just oil added to it. The engine and supercharger on this car is a solid builder. The transmission worked fine, but I only drove it a short distance(one block) to get it parked at my house. The interior is pretty descent on this car, it has no rip or tears in the seats, but it is missing a a few things, all four speaker covers, a knob or two and the XR7 emblem off the dash. The exterior of the car is ok, but it will need some attention. The front bumper cover is torn. it has some small surface rust areas that need addressed(no rot through), a dent on the passengers door, hood. This car is missing the grill, and it needs some new rubber around the windows. The car has the original rims, missing one cap, the tires are descent.  This car is a solid builder, it is just like the SC Thunderbirds, except it was only made in 89-90 so they are harder to come by.

 

Bring your trailer to haul this car, it is not currently driveable. It must be picked up within two weeks after the end of the auction, payment is due in cash when vehicle is picked up.

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.

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday

Mon, 04 Oct 2010

Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.

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!
