 1967 Cougar GT, this is a high option car that is very original and is a black plate California car with the old California title. The factory options include 390 320HP S code engine, automatic transmission, p/s, pdb, air conditioning, tilt steering, bench seat and more(see marti report attached). This is a running project car that I have driven a short distance down the street but in no way should be considered a driver unless some more work is done. The car has been sitting since around 1986. It will need brake work, fuel sender and/or a tank to be safe(may have scale in it after sitting so long) along with other items like tires. The transmission goes right into gear and shifts well, the power steering worked well and seemed really tight for a car of this age. The odometer shows 94K miles and although I have no documentation based on my experience with these cars seems about right. The tilt steering column is nice and tight moving up and down, the tilt away function is not working right now. The air conditioning is complete but we removed the belt as it also runs the smog pump which has seized from sitting. The turn signals do not work as the sequencer box has been removed, all plug ends are present so it should be plug and play. The dash lights for the turn signals come on so the power should be there for it. The original exhaust system with the transverse muffler(stamped FOMOCO with the C7Z part #) is still on the car and in very good condition , there are some small holes in the resonators and one in one tailpipe, the exhaust is very quiet. The engine has a lifter tick that may clear up with more run time but may need some cleaner run through it, who knows, it has sat for a long period. The shocks appear to be the originals, they are stamped AUTOLITE and are black.  The top has some rust from the original vinyl top. The rust seems to be along the where the seams were in the vinyl just to each side of center. The edges and around the windows look to be nice still so I believe it to be a fairly easy fix, especially if you are putting another vinyl top on it.The qtrs are really nice except for a dent on each side at the lower valance, no bubbles that I have found on either of them.The leak from the top has rusted the passenger floor, mostly in the front but also some in the rear. I would put a full length unit on that side. On the lift the rest of the underside looks very solid and original. The front door corners are bubbled like usual and there is some rust around each the plug on each side of the trunk floor, very easy fix. When I got it the original trunk mat and sound pad were in there and trapped some moisture. The rest of the trunk floor looks good.  If you are looking for a Cougar project this is a good one to do, high options and very solid. Feel free to ask any questions before bidding. If you need additional pics I have them, ebay only allows 24 so feel free to ask, I have some pics of the muffler with the part # clearly visible, this should be the same as a 1967 GT500 if I am not mistaken. My phone # is 425-308-0802 if you have any questions and are serious about the car.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri

Mon, Sep 19 2016

Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:

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!

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven

Wed, Feb 8 2023

POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods.  However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows.  Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS.  Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence.  Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino  with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
