Thank you for looking at my 1969 Mercury Cougar convertible. The car has all original sheet metal and as near rust free of a 60's car as I've ever had. The car was always a Southern car and was originally Wimbledon White. The underneath is still the factory white (see the pictures). At some point, many years ago, the Cougar was painted red. The exterior had a few very small areas of the beginning of rust and you can see where the body shop cut it out the small areas. The car comes mostly complete and with new parts (see the pictures). The front and rear bumpers are included. Some of the original engine parts and all the glass is included as well. The Cougar is an original 351 V8 Four Barrel car. The Cougar DOES NOT need floor pans nor a trunk pan nor shock towers (see pictures). They are almost as solid and original as they were in 1969!

I purchased the car in Mississippi at a body shop after the customer didn't pay for the start of the restoration. There's no motor and trans. The machine shop kept them both for an unpaid bill as well. The owner of the body shop sold me the Cougar with the intention of filing for a lien title in the state of Mississippi, but I never received a title as promised. In Missouri we can file for an Abandonment Title, but I haven't gotten around to doing so.

My loss is your gain. I have no time to complete the present projects I started years ago. It'll take me years just to even complete the projects I have already started.

Please email and or call with any questions. Thank you, Chris 816.590.7660

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.

NHTSA investigating Ford's solution to May 2014 power steering recall

Tue, Apr 7 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a complaint that Ford's response to a May 2014 recall of the 2008 to 2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner doesn't quite go far enough to solve a troubling power-steering problem. Roughly a year ago, Ford recalled nearly a million vehicles after it was found that a problem with the torque sensor's communication with the power steering control module could cut steering assistance for drivers. While manual steering would still be available, the problem was enough to ask drivers to report in to have the PSCM inspected, and if necessary, replaced (along with the torque sensor, or in dramatic cases, the entire steering column). That would only happen, though, if trouble codes were being thrown. If there weren't any problems, dealers were told to simply update the PSCM's software so that any issues between it and the torque sensor would simply throw a visual and audio warning – power steering would still be maintained. The petitioner claimed that following the recall work, he still experienced a problem with the torque sensor. According to NHTSA, a claim was made that Ford didn't go far enough in its solution to the problem, and that "the software update itself may in fact cause further issues with the affected vehicle's power steering, causing it to fail, and ultimately requiring replacement of the torque sensor or entire steering column." The petition was filed in early February and is now officially being looked into by NHTSA.

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line

Wed, 05 Jan 2011

The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
