A true time capsule- this 1972 Mercury Cougar is completely unrestored and in running condition! Included in the sale is all of the original paperwork. This means the bill of sale, original build sheet, owner's manual, several service records, an appraisal, and several other documents. This car was purchased new in Rhode Island and immediately sent to Utah where it never saw snow and only drove 64,000 miles!! And make no mistake- these are original miles. Accident free, this car was driven sparingly over its lifetime and always garaged when not in use. It is as close to new condition that you can get, both mechanically and cosmetically. On it's purchase date in 1972 an anti-rust coating was sprayed on the undercarriage to keep it totally clean- and you can tell. The frame is in near-perfect condition with no rust. Paint is excellent, with only a few marks on the drivers' door and trunk. The weather stripping is in beautiful condition and there are no leaks. Hood, trunk, and doors all close seamlessly. All chrome and glass is immaculate with no surface marks. The black leather seats show almost no signs of wear. The carpet follows suit, as original Cougar mats have been used since its purchase. The original engine is still intact and in excellent condition. The car starts up nicely and only has a few minor fluid leaks. Aside from that the 351 Cleveland V-8 is in close to new condition. Mechanics are virtually all original, except for an OEM replacement exhaust system.

Starting up this nostalgic vehicle is like getting into a time machine. The driver is instantly transported back to a Mercury dealer in 1972- driving the car off the lot for the first time. All components are factory original and in like-new condition. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime find. Don't let it get away!

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.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack

Sat, May 30 2015

With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.
