Highly Customized 1999 Mercury Cougar on 2040-cars
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
|
The cleanest, most-customized Mercury Cougar I've personally ever seen. It took me over 2 years to fully customize this car. I have friends with super cars (McLaren's, Lamborghini's, etc) who admire this car. This car has been invited to car shows in Pittsburgh (though I chose to never attend). Obviously, there are no mechanical issues with a car like this. I am letting go of it simply because I do not drive it anymore, I don't take it to car shows, I don't do anything with it at all, and I feel a car like this belongs with an owner who will give it at least some kind of attention. For a business, this would also make a great car to be wrapped in graphics/logos for promotional purposes. A few details about the customization: - Completely wide, uni-body design. There are no seems in this body at all, it's a single piece. - Luxury/Legacy chrome rims & performance tires (only 2 years old, tires were barely driven in that time - less than 100 miles) - Red & black leather interior - Underbody red NEON lights (looks very cool) - Red NEON lights also in the interior to glow the floor space - Touch screen DVD player, CD & MP3 player with bluetooth in dash console (if you pair once with your iPhone, iPad or Android, every time you get in the car you just hit play music from your device & it will work wirelessly without any delay or setup require) - Lamborghini-style doors (both of them) - Fiberglass hood - Various other aesthetic customizations - Door popper kit comes with car (but not installed) - [For those who may not know]: if installed, a door popper kit will allow you to remove the door handles completely & the car doors will open up automatically with a keychain button A few details about the car itself: - V6 2.5L DOHC engine - 92k miles - 5-speed, manual transmission - Power windows - Power adjusting drive-side seat - Rear buckets seats, very nice with leather interior & comfortable ride if you have passengers I did not do much upgrading to the engine, so it's prime for anybody that wants to. It's a pretty fast car as is, but if you install a turbo charger or even a cheaper NOS system, it will be "very" fast, if that's your thing. Before long, this car will be a classic (I already sort'of consider it one). Cougars were discontinued in 2002, so one in this condition is a really rare find for any car enthusiast. On a final note: I'm someone who is really into Bitcoin and the crypto world. If anybody wants to pay in Bitcoin or a major crypto currency (NXT, DRK, LTC, etc), I would welcome it and even offer a slight discount on the price. That's completely optional though. |

Has the Mercury Marauder gotten better with age?
Fri, Oct 23 2015In the early 2000s Mercury desperately wanted to develop some edge for its brand – seemingly stuck between a quasi-premium, quasi-performance space in the Ford Universe. The Marauder is perhaps the most famous of the vehicles that resulted from those efforts, and is rapidly approaching Modern Classic status, today. Effectively a murdered out Grand Marquis with some updated trim pieces – what are company parts bins for, if not raiding? – the Marauder looked convincingly like a bad guy car. The 4.6-liter V8 under its hood that had been breathed on by engineers for a little more power, kicking out 302 horsepower and 318 pound-feet of torque from the factory. Not exactly Ferrari-baiting numbers, but it'd give your local cop's car a run for its money. Being a wild child of the last decade, of course our friends at MotorWeek had it on the program. What better way to test your mean-mugging muscle sedan than with John Davis' tanned and steady hands?
Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti 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.
Translogic drives wood-burning Mercury Beaver XR-7
Sun, 31 Jul 2011You read the title right, we're talking about the Mercury Beaver XR-7. No, Mercury never officially built a car called the beaver. This is the brainchild of upstate New Yorker Chip Beam, who owns and operates Beaver Energy, LLC. It runs on gases created by wood pellets fermented in a 2,400-degree furnace and fed to a supercharged Ford 4.6-liter V8.
By all accounts, it gets down the road just fine, and has pretty close to full power. The best part is, you can grow the fuel yourself and avoid patronizing big oil, if that's your thing. The only drawback that we can see to the Mercury Beaver XR-7 is the PVC pipe jungle occupying the space that would be the trunk under normal circumstances.
Still, if you're willing to smell like a mountain man and look like a bad Back to the Future knockoff, this ride is right up your alley. Click past the jump to see Translogic's take on this modified Merc.
