This is a Very nice 1941 Mercury Convertible that is ready to be enjoyed. This car had a frame off restoration in
the mid 80's and had been displayed in a car museum for many years. It was gone through mechanically after it was
brought out of the museum so it is completely road worthy. The fuel system has been replaced with new tank, fuel
pumps, and carb. The brake hydrolics have been replaced along with new tires. This car looks Great, but it is
showing some minor wear and age and there are some detail issues that could be addressed if desired. Regardless,
this car shows Very Very well at any car show and event!,
The original engine has very little miles since rebuild and the charging system has been updated to 12 volt. It has
been updated with new hydrolic cylinders for the convertible top frame that includes a new hydrolic motor. It also
has been updated with an electric 2 speed wiper motor for reliability. In addition an electric fuel pump has been
installed and mounted to the frame. Although there have been these updates, it has been done tastefully and retains
its Original look. I am confident that this car could make any drive without problem.
The interior and top material are in Excellent condition without any tears. All seems are in great shape, but there
are a few scuffs on the seat covers from normal use. The top material is faded slightly without any noticeable
stains. The boot cover is in perfect condition and fits very well. All the glass is in perfect condition without
any cracks chips or broken spots. The trim is in very good condition without any noticeable damage. It shines very
nicely. All the electrical system works as it should. The entire gauge cluster with the speedometer have been
professionally restored recently and they look Awesome. The body is straight without any noticeable damage, but the
paint is getting old, and has some slight discoloration and very minor chips in a few spots. The plastic dash
pieces are not perfect, but have been refurbished as best as possible. The door plastics do have some cracks in
them and could use some repair. The driver side window regulator needs repair. The gear inside has a stripped spot
and needs to be pulled up when it is being cranked. The passenger regulator is a little stiff and I usually assist
that window also to keep the gear from stripping.
This is a very RARE car that you don't find available very often, and would be a very unique car at any show!
Please ask any questions about the car and I will answer them to the best of my ability.

Junkyard Gem: 1977 Mercury Bobcat
Tue, Sep 4 2018Cultural memory of the Ford Pinto, 38 years after the last new ones were sold, boils down to one thing today: the notorious "exploding Pinto" stories of the late 1970s. Yes, many Pinto jokes were told, the resale value of Pintos crashed, and few paid any attention to the fact that most of the cars sold with the fuel tank between the rear axle and the bumper — that is, just about every Detroit car made during the era — suffered from the same weakness. The Mercury version of the Pinto was badged as the Bobcat, but nobody told Bobcat jokes. Here's a '77 Mercury Bobcat 3-Door in vivid Medium Jade paint, spotted in a Denver self-service yard. The Pinto with glass rear hatch was known as the Pinto Runabout in 1977, while Mercury called this car the " Bobcat 3-door with Glass Third Door." When a car sits for years or decades in High Plains Colorado, rodents tend to nest in it. This Bobcat's air cleaner made a cozy home for our Hantavirus-carrying friends. The 1970s were the last gasp for eye-searingly green vinyl car interiors. Since the Bobcat was a luxed-up Pinto, the door panels have shinier trim than what you'd have had in a proletariat-grade Pinto. Pinto/Bobcat transmission choices boiled down to two: a four-speed manual or a three-speed automatic. Unusually for a Malaise Era Mercury, this one has the manual. Most Pintos and Bobcats came with four-cylinder engines, ranging from the 1.6-liter pushrod Kent to the 2.3-liter engine that lived on for many post-Pinto years in Ford Rangers. This car has the 2.3, rated at 89 horsepower, but the same 2.8-liter Cologne V6 that powered the Capri was available as an option in the Bobcat. That engine made a mighty 93 horsepower. These cars were not too miserable to drive by econobox standards of their time, at least when they had three pedals. You'd blow the doors off a '77 Corolla with a 4-speed Bobcat in a drag race, though the Corolla got better fuel economy. This content is hosted by a third party.

Junkyard Gem: 1970 Mercury Cougar
Tue, Oct 10 2017The plot of the Mercury Cougar story took a lot of strange twists and turns during its 35 or so years, from ponycar to immense luxobarge to family sedan to station wagon to Integra competitor. Examples of the first Cougar generation are nearly extinct in American wrecking yards, so I was excited to spot this one in Denver. Lest you shed any tears over this car going to the crusher, know that it was suffering from the ravenous teeth of the Rust Monster long before it got here. The 1967-1970 Cougar was based on the Mustang platform of the same era, and so it was a sleeker and quicker cat than its successors. Still, the longer wheelbase, extra equipment and all the cool-looking bodywork added some heft; the 1970 Mustang hardtop with V8 scaled in at 2,923 pounds, while the 1970 Cougar weighed 3,307 pounds. The current Ford Focus would fit just between those two weights. There was also a mid-cycle refresh in that era, with the '67-'68 and '69-'70 having different exterior styling and interiors. The '69 and '70 had different front end styling as well, with the latter re-adopting the vertical grille slats featured on the earlier model years. The '69 has horizontal slats. The drivetrain and just about everything else of value has been shorn from this car, perhaps before it arrived in this yard. In 1970, a bewildering assortment of V8 engines was available in the Cougar, including a Boss 302, two completely different 351s, and a 335-horse Cobra Jet 428. The base engine was a 351 Windsor making 250 gross horsepower. Since car rooftops mostly don't rust, why would someone cut out this one? Sheet metal needed for patching a leaky shed roof, perhaps? This 2005-2006 Denver Nuggets window sticker indicates that the car was on the street (probably) as recently as 11 years ago. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags.

The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer.
