This vehicle is a survivor Jem! For Sale is a second owner 1968 Mercury Cougar with only 58,000 miles. This car was purchased from an Estate Sale in 2004 having 53,200 miles at the time. It has always been garage kept and is all original except for the high back bucket seat backs that I installed because I'm a tall fellow. The original low seat backs go with the purchase. History: This 1968 Cougar was purchased by the original owners, who were from New Jersey, in June of 1968. That same summer the couple drove this Cat to Atlantic Canada, fell in Love with a tiny community off the Nova Scotia Coast and purchased an old Homestead, which became there Summer Home for many years. Due to there age and love of the Summer Home they decided to bequeath both the Car and old Homestead to the Nova Scotia Community who in turn, decided to sell the Cat..."For Sale by Tender" for funds toward the upkeep of the Historical Homestead. Needless to say, I became the second owner of this solid, beautiful vehicle. Being Mercury's answer to upscale the Mustang Pony Car, the first Cougar of this fantastic design was born in 1967 but, then the birth of the 1968 model really set the stage for this car to be a luxury model that will prowl the streets for many more years. The Cougar has had a new paint job (2011) being a base coat clear coat antique Burgundy Metallic. The new Vinyl roof plus other new accessories really sets this car ahead of the pack! There is plenty of paper work to satisfy the discerning Buyer and you'll not be disappointed with your purchase. The Buyer is fully responsible for any and all additional fees such as registration, taxes, import/export fees, transportation costs and other associated fees. There is a very reasonable reserve price and considering a recent appraisal of over $28,000.00 your investment will grow. This antique vehicle does not have a warranty and given the tremendous love and care that is continues to have, she will provide you with many more years of just purring around or really prowling the streets of your town! On 26-Feb-14 at 19:41:39 EST, seller added the following information: As a point of interest, the original owners lived on Whig lane Road, Woodstown, NJ and, the Cougar was purchased from LM Carter Motors in Woodbury, NJ. Please note that the rims on the vehicle are black with grey as shown within the last four photos that I added today. The one with the Horses in the background shows the Car approx 6 years before the re-paint. I will honestly answer any questions that you may have. On 02-Mar-14 at 14:24:32 EST, seller added the following information: Good Afternoon...Potential Buyer! Since I purchased this vehicle, friends of mine often advised me of similar "Vintage" 68 Cougars that pre-maturely died but, had some excellent parts. Over the years I have accumulated numerous extra parts that are now also available. So if this "CAT" is purchased and transported to its new "Den" by trailer, the extra parts could easily be taken as a bonus! They are just to numerous to list but range from a drivers side front fender and door, both bumper cores, complete clear auto glass, etc, etc. Thank you |

New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek
Fri, Jan 29 2016Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 – also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past – to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.
NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
Ford recalls 300,000 Crown Vics over lighting module
Wed, Dec 23 2015The Basics: Ford is recalling 312,814 units of the Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis sedans from the 2003-2005 model years. They were built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant between Oct. 3, 2001, and Aug. 2, 2005. Ford says 296,004 of those units are located in the United States, with another 14,714 in Canada and 2,096 in Mexico. The Problem: The solder joints on the lighting control module could crack, depriving the headlamps of the power they need to light the way ahead. That could increase the risk of a crash, particularly at night and in other low-visibility situations. Injuries/Deaths: Ford reports that it is aware of 11 accidents that resulted from the problem, leading to one injury described as "minor." The Fix: The manufacturer is instructing dealers to replace the entire lighting control module. If You Own One: Make sure your headlights are working before getting under way. If they're not, avoid driving under low-light conditions, including at night, in heavy precipitation, or in fog.
