I am listing for sale a 1970 Cougar Eliminator that was wrecked in 1973 with only 43,739 miles.   It was one of only 469 that had the BOSS 302 motor.    Also had 3.91 rear end but not drag pac I'm afraid.   Competition Yellow with black Houndstooth  seats would have gotten some looks back in the day.   The car hit a ditch sideways that broke leaf spring and bent housing.  I got it from a salvage yard in 1995 to save it from the crusher.  The gear head vultures picked it clean over the years.  No motor, trans, driveshaft, rear end, 8000 tach, linkage, spoiler, hood scoop, seats, radiator, running cougar gas cap cover, rev limiter, correct steering box and brake pedal.  Reinstalled bent housing w/ 28 spline axles so it can be rolled.  Still has disc brakes, clutch pedal, stagger shock mounts, body buck tag and most of unique suspension parts (rear sway bar was torch cut)

The condition of the car is very poor.  Mother Nature hates these cars.   The tin termites have nested in the lower quarter, cowl, bottom of doors, hood, deck lid,  floor pans, fenders, valances, front frame rail, and battery tray.   Took a tree limb to the roof and rear deck in the 80's.  Shock towers uncracked and apart from the rust, quarter damage  and roof dents, the car is very strait.    One repaint with a Springtime Yellow coat and bad body work done on pass door handle and fender.  Had 15 inch Ford Magnum 500,s (part # D1OE).  One was bent in the wreck (replaced with painted 14" magnum) and the other three were in the mud for LONG time.   Some one attacked the dash with a hammer to get tach and cut thru cowl to pull brake pedal.  The part number on the hammer was 1DI0T!!! 

State made me get at Permit to Dismantle back in 2000 on the car as proof of ownership.  Until recently you could reapply for a title with a permit, but they changed the rules in Louisiana and car can not be titled in this state.  Please check with your states rules on titles for vintage cars before bidding.  Most state have a process to title a car with a bill of sale (Texas can for sure).

I know this car is rough but I'm not asking $80,000 like restored cars.  If you are like me and like to COLLECT TOYS, this would make a good lawn ornament.  Your wife will understand. 

Planning to be at the Pate Swap Meet in Dallas Texas on April 27th with car if you are at the show and want to inspect it.  Can post vender space number when assigned that morning.

Also willing to deliver COD for about .80 cents per mile.

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!

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes

Mon, 18 Jul 2011

Ford 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 2011

The 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.
