This is a 1971 mercury cougar convertible that I inherited over 7 years ago it belonged to my uncle who passed away but had purchased it and it sat in his garage for five years before I got it he started it frequently and rolled it in and out of his garage to make sure nothing locked up then I got it and put it in a storage unit and that's where it has sat for the last seven years
I had no plans to sell it but have no choice so here's the deal my husband broke his back five years ago and we have dwindled through our savings just to make ends meat and I have fallen back on my storage unit payments and the guys not going to wait any longer so I have no choice but to sell it my unit is locked so I don't have original pictures but I will be as detailed as I possibly can so you know what your getting
This car is nice its red and has a complete body the motor ran as I drove it into storage but probably needs a full run through as far as the motors concerned it also has 37,000 original miles on it & I truly don't think it flipped because of it being in storage for the last almost 13 years it was last registered in the year 2000 there was only 1723 made so this car is rare I have included some pictures that prove the information im telling you is true as far as values and such plus I found out today that I am one of only 3 people that own a 1971 in New York state so even being a project car its still worth the money my reserve is lower than the Kelly blue book fair condition price I will end the auction and sell the car to the first person with cash or an agreed price but I know what this car is worth so please no low ballers
The interior needs some work if I remember correctly my uncle ripped the rug out and never got a chance to replace it but he removed the seats in the process and those are still out but come with the car the body is in decent shape for its age he did start the work around the rear fenders but could still use some work on the floor as there's holes in it but the frame is still solid this car will need to be flat bedded as the tires are probably locked from sitting but this is defiantly a diamond in the rough the rear quarter panels have bondoe on them from my cousin starting the body work so I would imagine you would want to redo them and the battery was removed plus the seats that are in it did not come with the car but are included the interior hardware is in the trunk and you will need a new top
I have the original paperwork on it which is a registration and a bill of sale as there was no title for the vehicle back then
The pictures above are of the actual car in the storage unit if you have anymore questions please feel free to text me at 716-440-9353 and I will help in anyway I can
Like I said the car is in storage so if it takes you a little while to come get it I will have until the end of August to clear it out otherwise it'll be $100 a month for storage which isn't bad but as soon as the car is paid for I'm going to pay my storage bill so you don't have to worry about it going anywhere I will also provide proof after payment if you want as I am not here to scam anyone I just want to get out of a situation I'm in with the storage company and finally get it out of there as I've been paying $100 a month for the last seven years which is alot of money in itself and I know ill never get that out of it
Thanks for reading & happy bidding
On Aug-29-13 at 08:59:18 PDT, seller added the following information:
THIS CAR HAS THE 351 CLEVELAND IN IT WITH THE C6 TRANSMISSION WHICH RAISES THE VALUE OF IT I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SELL THIS CAR ASAP SO PLEASE SEND E A MESSAGE WITH YOUR MAXIMUM PRICE YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO PAY FOR THIS CAR & MAYBE WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT TO GET THIS DEAL DONE ASAP THANKS FOR BIDDING!

Is this '47 Chevrolet a rat rod or a sports car?
Sun, May 22 2016These days there are plenty of vehicles that blur the conventional automotive class structures. For instance, was the Honda Crosstour a wagon or an SUV? And what exactly was the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet? Regardless, those line-blurring cars (or trucks) are out there, and though this one didn't roll off a production line, it's still quite the automotive head-scratcher. Hailing from Missouri, this epic creation is one part mad science experiment, one part 1947 Chevrolet pickup, and one part '95 Mercury Cougar. Add it all up and you get an awesome truck-sports-car hybrid, complete with an outrageous wing and a V8 to boot. And interestingly enough, it's up for sale . RELATED: Check out this Wild-Styled Lamborghini Rat Rod So how does it all come together? According to the listing, the Chevrolet truck cab (which had previously been chopped) was sanded down to bare metal and given a thorough shellacking of clear coat. It was then melded together with the front end of a 1995 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck, and set low to the ground on Bilstein suspension drop spindles. Stance achieved. But instead of fielding an engine from either of those pickups, it pulls its heart from a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV—a big 5.3-liter V8 heart, that is. It comes backed-up to a GM Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Towards the rear however is where things get really interesting. A Copper Pearl coated tube frame chassis both attaches the rear independent suspension (a la Mercury Cougar) to the racy spoiler, as well as secures the rat rod's rear-mounted radiator, fan, and fuel tank. I'm not quite sure why, but it just looks glorious. RELATED: Reports Say Mid-Engine Corvette Will Arrive in 2018 Inside the vintage cab, the Chevrolet furthers its racing proclivities (it's said to have won burnout and auto-cross events) with a pair of harnessed racing seats, a drift brake, a detachable steering wheel, and a tachometer with oil and temperature gauges, but oddly no speedometer. The shifter is a crescent wrench. And its shift boot? That's a Crown Royal Purple bag. All in all, this grin-worthy Frankenstein creation tallies up bits and pieces from four different vehicles (five if you include the Camaro wheels), which make it truly a mash-up of epic proportions. Internet, what do you think? Related Video: This article by Zach Doell originally appeared on Boldride.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags
Wed, Jun 1 2016The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:
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:
