Leeper, Pennsylvania, United States
1968 Mercury Cougar 302 V8 4 speed manual. I have owned this car since 2011, I have the clean clear Pennsylvania title in my name and ready for immediate transfer. The odometer is a 5 digit odometer and reads 35xxx, To the best of my knowledge actual mileage it is 135xxx, I purchased the cougar from a gentleman in Ohio. He had the car built in the early 1990's by his good friend who worked as a local racing engine builder(in Ohio). So the 302 with a holley 4 barrel carb and weiand intake manifold under the hood is very strong good running engine. Sorry I don't know the engine specs but it runs great, and always starts right up. The 4.10 gears in the rear and the 4 speed manual transmission make for a fun drive. Flowmaster mufflers, Hedman headers, Accel coil and distributer. Mercury cougar embossed valve covers. The previous owner had a new flywheel, clutch, starter installed and had the gear box redone(I am pretty sure it is a hurst transmission) All this was done in 2007. The car has new Magnum 500 wheels with the Mercury man center caps and new tires on the car. Rear are 16" and fronts 15". The cars sequential turn signals in the rear work great with updated electronics recently installed. Have two sets of the original electronics. The hidden headlamp doors also work excellent. In 2012 a new aluminum radiator and edelbrock water pump were installed on the car. The car looks good, has small surface rust bubbles on the front of the left fender and on the rear deck lid real small spots(They are the exact same size as when I bought the car in 2011) Some small paint peeling on the quarter panel as well(never changed size or worsened since I purchased he car) There was a small aftermarket spoiler on the deck lid when I got the car and I took it off(wanted the original look), there is a photo of the black rubber plugs I have used to block the small mounting holes. The all black interior is in excellent condition. original rear seat, fronts were recovered in the early 90's when the car was rebuilt. The cougar sports deluxe door trim panels. Also have the cougar floor mats in the car I have found them as reproductions and they look great. Heater works, Car originally had ac, but there is no compressor. Kenwood cd player that is I pod ready along with alpine speakers front and rear in the car, I never turn the radio on, I personally enjoy the sound of the 302 under the hood!! The vinyl top is in excellent condition, the paint is average for a car that was painted in the early 1990's, pretty straight with no dents or dings this is a great 10 footer. Paint shines nice, but not a high end paint job. This is a solid great running Mercury Cougar! I can supply you with any additional photos you may need. I have shop manuals for the car and a reproduction owners manual. She is a great looking car and runs great with the lower gearing, however it is not a highway cruiser. Stored under cover in a heated garage. The Cougar is ready to drive with no work needed Wouldn't take much to make a perfect show car, right now it is a very nice driver!! It is a real head turner. No warranty expressed or implied, I personally recommend seeing the car in person, but certainly not mandatory. I can help with loading etc. $500.00 dollar non refundable deposit due within 24 hours of auction end. Car is located in Clarion Pennsylvania, 16214. LOW RESERVE!!

Does Lincoln Zephyr trademark mean a return to real names?
Wed, May 25 2016Lincoln's long history includes many legendary names, and despite its short life, Zephyr retains a spot in that pantheon. Perhaps its will return once again: Ford Motor Co. applied to trademark Zephyr on May 11. Trademark filings can have ambiguous meanings, and often they're legal plays to get or keep the rights to a name. But in the last year, we've seen signs Lincoln is looking to use real names on its vehicles again. Obviously, it's keeping Navigator for its flagship sport-utility vehicle with a new model due next year. Reprising Continental for the MKS replacement was also well received. That said, Lincoln still uses the MKX and MKC "names" for its crossovers. Zephyr is a dustier moniker. It was used in the 1930s and '40s on a mid-level model spearheaded by Edsel Ford. The stylishly aerodynamic model was set between the Ford V8 De Luxe and more expensive Lincolns. It returned in 2006 as the Lincoln version of the Ford Fusion before that model was renamed MKZ. Mercury also used Zephyr on its version of the Ford Fairmont in the late 1970s and early '80s. Ford last held a trademark on the Zephyr name in 2013. The filing says Ford seeks to use Zephyr for "motor vehicles and parts and accessories therefor." That could mean a new car — or just parts. Putting the Zephyr badge back on the MKZ is the most likely bet. Meanwhile, Ford also moved to get the Thunderbird trademark on May 11 for the same vehicles and parts purpose, and it filed for the Mustang trademark for shampoo and lotions on May 4. A Lincoln spokesman said, "In the normal course of our business, we file trademarks for names," but had no further information. Related Video:
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.

eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
