$23,000. Over $50,000 into car. Perfect body (few stone chips since I don't trailer it, see last photo), beautiful paint. 351W, ford racing, trick flow heads, long tube headers with dumps, brand new tires, rims. New T5 5 speed manual transmission (runs 1800 RPM at 70MPH). 3.5 gears, traction bars, lowered a bit for good ride. Brand new rack and pinion steering and springs. Interior very good shape. Clean, zero rust, straight frame.

No oil usage or leaks; transmission perfect. All turn signals, lights, hideaway headlights, heater work. Drives great and is fast. No rust in the usual spots for a cougar; frame off about 6 years ago. Very hard to find in a manual. Some gauges are original (fuel, Speedo, Tach) while others are newer but close to matching. Tachometer was disabled because the resistors in it were monkeying with ignition. It was working prior.

Needs: scratch on window tint; panel light indicating "Brake" stays on (this is different than the emergency brake); disabled the vacuum operated swing away steering column; brake booster front section has a tiny drip; upholstery in back passenger side wrinkled from a friend shoving his big butt into the back seat. No A/C. Just noticed front passenger leading bumper panel (above the bumper) has a scratch and paint is feathering. I will try to get a photo.

Selling because I have too many toys and just can't drive it enough. Don't spend the money fixing one up; it's much cheaper to buy someone else's and have it already done. Feel free to ask Rick at Hot Rod Express in Blue Springs, MO (they installed the transmission, suspension, etc. and know the undercarriage and how solid the car is).

Would consider trades worth $10,000 or more towards it just so I could resell those. Or would look at Z06, 2008 and up CTS-V plus cash on my part.

Yes, I would be comfortable with driving any distance. It doesn't overheat and is completely roadworthy. That being said, if you are over 40 it'll hurt after a few hours! Seats are original, no cruise control, and no air conditioning!

I will take more photos or video of what you want, or come take a look. South of Overland Park, KS (Kansas City). Please know your bank will NOT loan much on this car, so please don't bid without the funds.

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday

Mon, 04 Oct 2010

Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible

Wed, 31 Aug 2011

Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.
