You are looking at a rare 74 Cougar here. Bought this car exactly one year ago with the intention of fully restoring it. Car is all original with 52K on a rare 351 Cobra Jet 4BBL. Original rare paint code (see Marti Report) Body is perfectly straight with no dents, interior is in perfect shape with no rips, cracks or tears.  Interior is a beige corderoy type material that will be perfect once steam cleaned.  No stains.  I honestly have not even cleaned the interior since I bought it.  Car is completly rust free except for a rust spot about the size of a quarter near the bottom of the rear finder behind the back passenger tire.  Floors, trunk are solid and rust free. All chrome is in great shape.  Believe that that the AC will blow cold with just a charge.  I also was planning on replacing the Vinyl top as well as it has a few cracks behind the chrome moulding on it.  This is an original owner car from Pennsylvania. Previous owner in Texas bought it at an auction when it was traded in by the orignal owner. He then turned it around after a year and I picked it up last May. I have basically done nothing with the car except change all fluids, belts, hoses. Selling as my true passion is to own a 71-73 Cougar - willing to consider for a trade as well. Runs excellent, transmission is smooth, great suspension, power steering, dual exhausts.  This is quite a bit of a car for the money and would not take much to restore this cat to it's original beauty.  Car is beautiful even in it's current shape but my original goal was to bring it back to show room condition.  Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The 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 2018

Icon, 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:

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
