Brandon, Florida, United States

1972 Mercury Cougar 351 Cobra Jet Factory 4sp. 3.25 Posi Rear End. Very nice car. Completely documented .... Marti Report, Original Ford Invoice, Window Sticker (reproduction from Kevin Marti) ..... Factory Silver (Pewter Metallic), Black Vinyl Top and Black Leather. 99% Rust free ..... very solid. Southern Car it's whole life. The car was sold new in South Carolina and has been in Florida for the past 8 years. It has always been garaged. The car has excellent frame rails and floorboards which are all original and have never been fixed or patched. I rebuilt the transmission and put in a new clutch when I got the car 7 years ago. The rear end has been serviced and has new bearings and lube in it. I replaced the gas tank and sending unit. The rubber brake lines have been replaced. The interior is real nice and the seats have no rips in them. The headliner is original and is in good condition but has one small hole it is above the from windshield about the size of a dime. The drivers side door panel has a very small crack in the vinyl by the door lock button. The carpet is original but still looks good (I have a brand new carpet set that goes with the car). The motor runs good and has a Holley Carb on it now but I have the original Ford 4310 carb that the car came with. The exhaust is all new with Hooker Headers which have been Jet Hot coated. Besides the Headers the rest of the exhaust is all original and the tail pipes exit just like they did from the factory. I have the original exhaust manifolds that go with the car. The car sounds excellent with a very performance sounding exhaust note. There are a few very minor dents and scratches in the car from 42 years of use but nothing major. The A/C is all complete and hooked up but it is still an R12 system and either needs R12 put back in it or it needs to be converted to R134. The Radio is a factory AM FM stereo and it works perfect. This car has no cut wires behind the dash and has never had any type of aftermarket radio or electronics installed in it. The dash pad is perfect and has no cracks in it. The steering wheel is the 'rim blow' type of steering wheel which has a few cracks in it but is in over-all good condition for its age. The tach works. All of the window roll up and down like they should. The body 'buck' tag is still on the core support (see picture). I am the third owner and I've had the car for 7 years. This car is just a nice running and driving original car that can be driven now just the way that it is. Every time I take this car to a car show or a cruise it always gets lots of attention because most people don't know that Mercury put manual transmissions in Cougar's. Also, for the weight of the car the 351CJ motor really makes this car jump. The 351CJ engine was the most powerful engine that you could get in a 1972 Cougar. It is very excelerating to drive and always gets lots of 'thumbs up'. If you want something different than everyone else and something that has lots of class and performance you should check this car out. In the 7 years I've owned the car I've never seen another '72 4sp. 351CJ Cougar like this one. A very rare and interesting car!!! For more info - Curtis 813-seven 3 two -six 0 six 8. I have a lot more pictures on my Photobucket page ..... Ebay won't let me post the link here to my Photobucket page .... if anyone wants to see those pictures email me and I can send you the link.

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford 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.
Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
