You are about to bid on my 1973 Mercury Cougar. CONVERTIBLE. This is a running , drivable car , and starts right up every time. 351 2 barrel Cleveland motor, with auto trans, C6? not sure, I believe it has a 9 inch rear (open, not posi). I bought this car recently with the hopes of fixing it up and repainting it , but we have decided to sell instead and concentrate on our 69 Charger project car. As stated the car starts, runs and drives and stops, but due to the fact it was sitting for several years , It needs attention and work to make it a safe driver. It is a 2 owner car, with a clean NJ title. The brakes are low and should be redone, E brake seems stuck, tires are very old and should be replaced, engine runs, but definitely needs tune up, wires plugs, etc. I have just changed the oil, and fuel filters, added some carb cleaner and pvc, thats it. When I got the car it had a cracked windshield, I just had that replaced last week along with new wipers at a cost of 300.00$. The top is power and it works, the canvas is older but not ripped, the plastic back window was shot so I removed it. All glass is good and all 4 regulators good, Windshield is NEW. It has the sequential taillights, floor shifter, Interior needs some work but not terrible. THE FLOORS ALL SEEM GOOD. I DONT SEE ANY RUST THRU, THE TRUNK FLOOR AND CONVERTIBLE TOP WELL AREA IS ALL GOOD !!! Weather these parts were repaired before , i dont know, There is surface rust on bumpers, rust on leading edge of hood. Havent really been under the car yet, I plan on getting under there tomorrow to secure the exhaust pipe and I will take some pictures of the under body. It seems like the car had an amatuer restoration some years ago, at least 10, when they did bondo repairs on the lower quarters and wheel lips, This is when they put on the yellow paint job right over a nice dk. blue color, which may be the original color, I dont know much about Ford cars or Cougars. The car has old school air shocks and traction bars on rear. This is getting long so, In a nutshell, you can easily have a fun , summer cruiser on a budget, new tires and a new paint job , OR you have an outstanding start point for a sweet Cougar Restoration or Restomod. Any questions please ask, Please ask for any specific pictures and I will get them posted next day, If you have 0 feedbacks, dont bid!!

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The 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.

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
This Mercury Cyclone is an American Muscle Car in Norway
Tue, Oct 27 2015The picturesque Norwegian countryside certainly doesn't seem like the natural stomping grounds for a 1969 Mercury Cyclone, but owner Alexander Brevik makes the odd combo look like an ideal match. Even with the beautiful surroundings, Brevik sees no need to enjoy the scenery; he'd much rather just be driving this vintage muscle car. Take a ride with him in the latest clip from Petrolicious. Like many of us, Brevik's automotive obsession started at childhood, and today he has amassed a multitude of projects to wrench on. While he loves working on all of these cars, we all need a break sometimes, and that's what the Cyclone is for. Even when the rest of his collection isn't running, this orange beauty is always ready to go. Brevik may not pay much attention to the landscape, but Petrolicious makes the muscle car look fantastic in the Norwegian woods nonetheless. With its rumbling V8 engine and three-speed manual, this Cyclone turns out to be a perfect cruising companion in the Land of the Midnight Sun. And if you just can't get enough of classic muscle cars and the people who love them, check out our video coverage of the 2015 Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit down below. Related Video:
