This vehicle is a survivor Jem! For Sale is a second owner 1968 Mercury Cougar with only 58,000 miles. This car was purchased from an Estate Sale in 2004 having 53,200 miles at the time. It has always been garage kept and is all original except for the high back bucket seat backs that I installed because I'm a tall fellow. The original low seat backs go with the purchase. History: This 1968 Cougar was purchased by the original owners, who were from New Jersey, in June of 1968. That same summer the couple drove this Cat to Atlantic Canada, fell in Love with a tiny community off the Nova Scotia Coast and purchased an old Homestead, which became there Summer Home for many years. Due to there age and love of the Summer Home they decided to bequeath both the Car and old Homestead to the Nova Scotia Community who in turn, decided to sell the Cat..."For Sale by Tender" for funds toward the upkeep of the Historical Homestead. Needless to say, I became the second owner of this solid, beautiful vehicle. Being Mercury's answer to upscale the Mustang Pony Car, the first Cougar of this fantastic design was born in 1967 but, then the birth of the 1968 model really set the stage for this car to be a luxury model that will prowl the streets for many more years. The Cougar has had a new paint job (2011) being a base coat clear coat antique Burgundy Metallic. The new Vinyl roof plus other new accessories really sets this car ahead of the pack! There is plenty of paper work to satisfy the discerning Buyer and you'll not be disappointed with your purchase. The Buyer is fully responsible for any and all additional fees such as registration, taxes, import/export fees, transportation costs and other associated fees. There is a very reasonable reserve price and considering a recent appraisal of over $28,000.00 your investment will grow. This antique vehicle does not have a warranty and given the tremendous love and care that is continues to have, she will provide you with many more years of just purring around or really prowling the streets of your town! On 26-Feb-14 at 19:41:39 EST, seller added the following information: As a point of interest, the original owners lived on Whig lane Road, Woodstown, NJ and, the Cougar was purchased from LM Carter Motors in Woodbury, NJ. Please note that the rims on the vehicle are black with grey as shown within the last four photos that I added today. The one with the Horses in the background shows the Car approx 6 years before the re-paint. I will honestly answer any questions that you may have. On 02-Mar-14 at 14:24:32 EST, seller added the following information: Good Afternoon...Potential Buyer! Since I purchased this vehicle, friends of mine often advised me of similar "Vintage" 68 Cougars that pre-maturely died but, had some excellent parts. Over the years I have accumulated numerous extra parts that are now also available. So if this "CAT" is purchased and transported to its new "Den" by trailer, the extra parts could easily be taken as a bonus! They are just to numerous to list but range from a drivers side front fender and door, both bumper cores, complete clear auto glass, etc, etc. Thank you |

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models
Fri, 30 Aug 2013The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
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 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.
