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! |

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.
Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri
Mon, Sep 19 2016Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:
NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
