This is a sweet little car that has been in storage inside a garage for quite a few years. Since coming out of storage it has gone through some work, and is in good running condition. Carb has been rebuilt, and it also has a new battery. Starts right up, and sounds good!
It has had some front end work, including bushings and front disc brake conversion. New shocks both front and back.
Tires are also new. They are white walls, but the white walls are on the inside of the tires right now.
Front and rear bumper have been rechromed, and look lovely!
New door handles inside and out. New Door Sill plates. New Headliner. New marker lights. Not all of the new items have been installed, but do come with the car.
The car has 1969 Cougar wheels on it now, but also comes with the original hubcaps.
All glass is good.
Body is very solid with no rust or damage at all! The only rust found is some minor rust in the trunk area, which is common in most Cougars.
Interior is original, and does have some splits. New seat covers are easy to come by for Cougars, and are not expensive.
Please let me know if you have any other questions!
Shipping or transport is the responsibility of the buyer, but I am happy to help in any way that I can.
$100 earnest money due within 48 hours of purchase. After that I am more than happy to work the rest out with you

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill 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 finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7
Sun, 31 Jul 2011You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.
