1971 Mercury Cougar *grabber Lime* 351 Cleveland Coupe Auto A/c P/s P/b on 2040-cars
Venus, Florida, United States
Here's your chance to own a SUPER nice restorable 1971 Cougar.
The Car runs and drives with no issues, other than a stuck choke when starting. Strong 351C-2V engine and c-6 tranny. The car has a small 2" rust hole in passenger side floor, other floors great. Carpet and interior in good condition. Headliner is perfect. No radio. Clock does not work. A/c missing belt. Never tried it. All the chrome is in good condition and intact. Small crack on dash pad. Some small rust bubbles in front of hood and door drop offs. The down side to this car is it needs a roof reskin and the vinyl top replaced. Very rusty under top. Bought the car and have no time to do it. Willing to sell for what we have in to it, so the buy it now price is the bottom line. No trades wanted. Have clean title and receipts since new in FL. I have the build sheet, the window sticker, and all repairs since new. Third owner. Have driven the car to Daytona and back with no issues. Ran great. We are only offering this car for sale because we own (4) Cougars, and its just one too many, and this one needs the roof reskin. We bought two cars after this, and they need little work. This one needs a loving home to someone who can do the top and minimal things she needs. It has an exhaust leak on the right front manifold where it meets the collector, and have not repaired it for fear of breaking the bolt, so it sounds a slight thump thump thump on that side. This is truly a great car in an unusual original color. Have Marti report. Reskin the top and you have a great car with very little other work to do. The rear seat plastic side panels have some sun rot deterioration on them shown in photos. Have not found replacements for them. I have new seat backs to be installed. The front grille and rear tail lights just restored and repainted. The rear valance is not factory. There is a walk around video I can email to you. Any questions, call Ray at 239-823-3291 The car is in Venus, Florida and can be shown with advance notice. The car is for sale locally, and reserve the right to cancel the auction early if sold locally. $500.00 deposit due within 48 hours of auction end and payment in full and cleared funds before title is exchanged. Shipment is buyers responsibility, and sellers can assist with shipper suggestions. The car is being sold "as is-where is" with no warrantee, expressed or implied. All sales are final. |

Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls
Tue, 04 Nov 2014
Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
Junkyard Gem: 1993 Mercury Topaz GS Sedan
Sat, Aug 13 2022As long as the Mercury brand existed — a period spanning the 1939 through 2011 model years — nearly every Mercury sold in the United States was more or less a redecorated Ford model. The Torino had its Montego sibling, the Crown Victoria had the Grand Marquis, the Cougar was based on everything from the Mustang to the Mondeo, and so on. Naturally, when the folks in Dearborn developed the Ford Tempo compact, a Mercury version had to be created. This was the Topaz, with the official launch of both cars taking place on the deck of the aircraft carrier often referred to as the USS Decrepit. You can't make this stuff up! The Tempo/Topaz, also known as the Tempaz, has largely faded from our collective automotive memory by now, since it broke no significant new engineering or styling ground (this story would be much different if Ford had only put the amazing straight-eight "T-Drive" Tempaz powertrain into production) and didn't have any endearing features other than being a cheap domestic competitor to the Toyota Corolla and Nissan Sentra. Still, close to 3 million Tempazes left North American Ford and Lincoln-Mercury showrooms during the 1984-1994 period. As you'd expect, most of these disposable cars disappeared from both the street and the car graveyard long ago. It takes a very special Tempaz for me to break out my camera while I'm patrolling my local wrecking yards; generally, this means an ultra-rare all-wheel-drive version or at least a very early model in super-clean condition. Today's Junkyard Gem is neither, but I took one look at this spectacular Bordello Red crypto-velour-and-slippery-plastic interior and recognized that this was no ordinary junkyard Mercury. It appears that Mercury had dropped the idea of clever names for base-grade seat fabrics by the time of the Topaz, referring to this stuff as just "cloth" in all the brochures I could find. That's too bad, because Mercurys had cool names for upholstery (e.g., Chromatex) in the old days. The interior is in very good condition but the steering wheel shows substantial wear, so I think this is a high-mile Topaz that got meticulous care from its owner or owners. Ford used five-digit odometers on these cars until the end of production, however, so we'll never know if this reading indicates 65,404 miles or 365,404 miles. The body is very straight, but there's some nasty corrosion behind the right front wheelwell.
Auto Show Notebook: Legendary Continental name inspired Lincoln's designers
Thu, Apr 2 2015What's in a name? A lot for the Continental concept, and it gave Lincoln designers a sense of purpose as they styled the brand's upcoming flagship sedan. "The moment that we told them, it was amazing," Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra said. "They totally got it." "It" is cutting-edge technology wrapped in stately, large-sedan design. It's a nod to Lincoln's storied past, but a signpost for where the brand is heading. Though the Continental name dates to the late 1930s, Lincoln designers avoided making the concept overtly retro. "You can't let it pull yourself back too far in history, but you've got to design a car that lives up to the name," Galhotra said. Speaking to Autoblog on the floor of the New York Auto Show where the Continental formally debuted Wednesday, the Lincoln president reiterated that the car is on track to launch in 2016. It will compete against the Audi A6, Lexus GS, BMW 5 Series and other large luxury sedans. After its debut, the concept in New York will fly to China – another critical market for Lincoln – for display there. It will be replaced in New York by a prototype without an interior. The Continental is the latest high profile play by Lincoln to raise its image with consumers, who have either ignored or forgotten about it amid steep competition in the luxury sector from German and Japanese brands and a potentially resilient Cadillac. Lincoln sales are essentially flat compared with 2014 through the first quarter of this year, with total volume of 21,478 units. The middling start to 2015 comes on the heels of nearly 16-percent sales growth last year spurred by the launch of the MKC and the prominent signing of Matthew McConaughey to star in Lincoln advertisements. Other News, Notes & Quotes Speaking of names, Chevrolet did its homework before deciding to proceed with "Malibu" for its new generation of midsize cars. "We went out and researched it," said Alan Batey, president of General Motors North America. "People actually like the name 'Malibu,'" he said. Admittedly, the current Malibu has struggled in the marketplace against entrenched competitors, Batey said, but he's optimistic its awareness and historical value are assets to the dramatically redesigned sedan."The name's strong," he said. Meanwhile, in other Chevy news, the brand kicked off a new marketing campaign, "Real People, Not Actors" Wednesday. It will show consumers interacting with Chevys and their spontaneous reactions to the vehicles.
