Original 1968 Cougar XR7 with 3-speed transmission and power front disc brakes. Rare factory black with saddle XR7 interior (1 of 263 per Cougar By The Numbers). Good floors and frame rails. Excellent battery tray, shock towers and engine side panels. Doors close good. Decent glass with no cracks. Some rust in torgue boxes (see pictures) and some rust in lower rear quarters (especially passenger side) and trunk drops. Solid trunk floors. Original sheet metal and nice front grill. Original 302 engine long gone. Has a 1970 351 4V Cleveland heads and 1972 block in it from the 1980s that was rebuilt but piston size was incorrect causing motor to seize after a few miles due to tight pistons. Then never put back on the road. The heads were taken off at that time but never reinstalled and placed back on the road, so the car sat in a garage for 30-years. Good headers and dual exhaust. Nice thick rear sway bar installed just like a 1970 Boss 302 Mustang. Been sitting for years so needs work to run again. No drive shaft, radiator or carb. Whats you see is what you get. Looks like solid original paint. No factory vinyl top! Make a nice project in Darth Vader black. Factory door tag and window VIN plates in place. Clean Maryland title. I reserve the right to end auction early. Sold "as is" and I expect full payment in 10-days. No Reserve!

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

Watch as an out-of-control car demolishes gas pump

Tue, May 2 2017

A Baltimore area man was fighting for his life Tuesday after crashing his car into a gas station. According to WBAL, the unidentified 64-year-old lost control of his vehicle for unknown reasons around 4:55 a.m. May 1 in Parkville, Md. The 2007 Mercury Milan careened downhill, ramped over a curb, and smashed full-speed into a gas station pump. The car then flipped and came to rest against one of the station's canopy support pillars. Don Karbowniczek, owner of a service station across the street, told WBAL he was shocked there wasn't more damage. It's also surprising that the car even made it to the pumps, as it had to thread past a coin-op vacuum machine, the station's sign, a utility pole, and a traffic light pole. "It came right through, took some of our bushes out, just trimmed them for us, and how it got through and flip the way it did, I don't know. From what I see on the marks, it had to go airborne and just come down on the pump," Karbowniczek said. Thankfully there was no fire or explosion. Gas pumps have shear valves - safety devices that immediately cut the flow of gasoline when a pump is damaged. The driver was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, and was in critical condition. Police theorized the driver may have become stricken with a health issue when he lost control.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute

Thu, 24 Feb 2011

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.
