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.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
What do you do with a fake Bugatti Veyron for $60k?
Tue, Mar 29 2016Replica cars are a challenging labor of love because builders spend countless hours recreating a vehicle that people immediately compare to the real thing. Perhaps, the person behind this Mercury Cougar-based Bugatti Veyron should look for another way to pass that time. The coupe is currently for sale on eBay Motors for $59,900. The builder deserves some credit because the fiberglass body looks acceptable in the photos from farther away. The car might even fool a few people from a distance. However, the devil is in the details, and the closer you look, the worse this gets. The side intakes are especially rough. The red interior is atrocious. It's essentially the Cougar's cabin but in an eye-searing shade accented with lots of fake carbon fiber. The seller's eBay Motors ad really tries to market the look, though. "You slide in to [sic] this extremely comfortable leather interior and you feel like your bank account just quadrupled in size," the listing says. Don't expect to win any top speed titles in this Veyron replica, either. Rather than a mid-mounted quad-turbo W16, a 3.0-liter V6 from a Mercury Sable sits at the front. Thanks to an upgraded intake and exhaust, the seller claims, "It doesn't sound like your grandmas [sic] Sable." We wish the seller the best of luck, but the asking price of nearly $60,000 is probably too optimistic. We would still think twice about buying it even after taking a zero off that figure, but at least this thing is fun to look at. Related Video:
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!
