1969 Cougar 80,569 Miles Nice Car Mercury 69 on 2040-cars
Raymond, Illinois, United States
|
Selling a nice 69 Cougar. I bought the car off the original owners family. The car has been garaged most of its life and was in the garage when I bought it. After the original owners wife passed away the daughter would drive it when she came home to visit. Car is a nice well taken care of original car. The paint is fadded and was repainted in the late 70s with crapy Dupont Centari paint. There was a few dings fixed and a scrape fixed when it was painted. The body is straight with a few dings and a few rust bubbles. It has a few bubbles in the corners of the left door but the inside is clean. The right door is clean inside and out and has a few dings. The front fenders are clean and straight. The left quarter has a small hole behind the left rear wheel. It was just a small pin hole and some ass hole jabbed a screw driver through it. The right rear quarter is rust free and has peeling paint off the primer of a previous repair on the body line behind the door. It appears it had a scrape or rub in that area. There is no bondo where the car would rust out. The trunk lid is straight and clean on the inside. The top is not crack and looks like there is no rust under it. The glass and windsheild is good shape. Trim is all complete. The hideaway headlights work and stay closed for a few hours after you run it. It most likely needs new vacuume lines to stay shut all day. The turn signals and rear taillights work properly. The front bumper has a upwards dent in it from the farmer/owner jacking it up with a handy man jack. The rear bumper is straight but needs rechromed. Has front power disc brakes and they work properly. There is a rattle in the right front. I think it is the shock. The engine runs great and fires right up. It has factory power steering and factory bower brakes and they work good. The factory A/C needs repaired. It was working when I bought it but has leaked off since. The A/C hose that goes from the condensor to the compressor is loose where it is crimped to the tube. The interior is in nice shape. The dash,carpet,seats, door panels, console and weatherstrip are all original and has no cracks or tears. Even the weatherstrip is not cracked. The headliner was replaced with the correct pattern headliner. The under body was undercoated when new and has no rust. The torque boxes and frame rails are rust free. The front floor pans are great inside and out. Under the back seat there was a few pin holes in the floor pan from the inside and it was fixed. The trunk drop downs are straight and not rusted. I took out the interior and washed out all the rockers,floors and quarters then I rust proofed everything. It has a new fuel pump. It runs and drives great and I would not be afraid to drive it anywhere. I have the original Cougar hub caps but I took them off and put on Mustang hub caps. I have the original warranty card and original purchace invoice. Have 2 build sheets from under the carpet. I also have several papers from the owner. I am a small car dealer and collect cars also. I bought this car and would like to keep it and do a Cougar Elminator clone but I need to spend some money on 4 other cars I am restoring so I am letting this one go. Since I am a car dealer in IL you will have to pay title and sales tax if you live in IL. Any questions you can call my shop at 2one7 2two9 3four2four

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

Icon and Stealth EV are building an electric Derelict Mercury
Mon, May 14 2018Icon, a company known for its high-quality restomod vehicles, is building another Derelict, this one a 1949 Mercury coupe. While the fact Icon is building another one of its sleeper hot rods with patina isn't the most shocking, what's under the hood is. The company has teamed up with Stealth EV to turn this latest Derelict into an electric car. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The car was shown in the above Twitter post with video. The exterior is just what you'd expect from an Icon Derelict. It's solid but with a weathered finish. And even as the guy from Stealth EV approaches the car, it looks like it has a V8 under the hood. But as he explains, there's actually the two motor controllers and half of a Tesla battery pack under there. It's just that they've all been given some classy looking metal casings and mounted to look like a V8. Apparently the motors themselves are in the transmission tunnel. The Stealth EV rep says it uses a pair of AM Racing motors. Depending on which motor controllers the companies are using, those motors could produce as much as 700 horsepower. Power will go to the rear wheels and no transmission will be used, making it direct drive. It will have a limited-slip differential, and the whole car sits on an Art Morrison chassis with independent suspension. This actually isn't the first electric Icon, nor the first developed with Stealth EV. Before this, the companies created a totally awesome electric Volkswagen Thing. That little truck made much less power at 180 horses, but it was also a way smaller and lighter vehicle. Related Video:
Junkyard Gem: 1973 Mercury Montego MX Brougham Sawzall Convertible Edition
Fri, Apr 21 2017You know how it goes— the weather is warm, you want to do some top-down driving, and you lack a proper convertible... but you do have a hooptie Detroit car on one side of the garage and a big ol' Sawzall on the other. Put the two together and you have a Sawzall Convertible, which generally lasts for about one summer before it gets scrapped. Here's a fine example of such a car, photographed in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service junkyard. Most Sawzall Convertibles (yes, it should be called a roadster, but nobody does that) have raw, ragged metal edges, or maybe duct tape over the stumps of the amputated pillars, but someone went to the trouble to weld nice smooth metal covers over the hackage on this one. The windshield is gone. Instead, the windshield frame is ringed by tongue depressors held in place by gooey roofing tar. No, we don't know why. The Montego MX Brougham was a hot-selling personal luxury coupe in its day, selling for $3,041 in 1973. That's just under $17,000 in 2017 dollars. It must have been fun, cruising this thing on Bay Area streets with no roof and a rattle-can spray-bomb job. This one has the optional 400-cubic-inch V8 engine, rated at 171 horsepower. What would this car's original buyer have thought of its fate? This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. It's like a Marquis Brougham after you squish it in the car crusher!
