1967 Mercury Cougar Resto Mod

The introduction of the Cougar finally gave Mercury its own pony car. Slotted between the Ford Mustang and the Ford Thunderbird, the Cougar would be the performance icon and eventually the icon for the Mercury name for several decades. This particular example was the 282nd Cougar ever built. It is a 4 owner car that was born in CA, moved to TX by the second owner, to WI by the 3rd in 2010 and the current owner brought it to IL in 2011. When he purchased the car it was 100% rust free, completely original and the perfect candidate for a Resto Mod. The heart of this bad boy is 302 that has been bored out to a 306 and built for performance with the aid of Edelbrock cam, the triple deuce intake and a carb set up and March billet pulleys. You will also find high volume water and fuel pumps, a Pertronix electronic ignition and custom built Griffin radiator. Not only does it look good but it sounds just plain nasty with its Hedman Elite long tube headers, side exhaust and electronic exhaust cut off. The estimated 400 horse power is effortlessly put to the 9” Curry rear end with Detroit Locker 3:70 gears via a performance built C4 street / strip racing transmission. The suspension is all new with polyurethane bushings, Belltech front and rear sway bars, adjustable racing shocks and chrome traction bars. It has been converted to 4 wheel disc brakes with Kelsey Hayes 4 piston quick change calipers that were performance built by SSBS, it has all stainless steel brake lines and has no problem gripping the SSBS Big Bite cross drilled and slotted rotors. The interior has been upgraded with custom bucket seats, custom dash mounted gauges, a B&M slap shifter upgraded with roll control and a killer sound system. The stereo is an upgraded retro fit form Custom Autosound capable of controlling an i-Pod, satellite radio, memory stick or CD changer that sounds incredible with it 6 speakers and 10” bass tube in the trunk that looks like a nitrous bottle. Although the paint is showing its age with a few chips and cracks there is absolutely no rust and the car still looks awesome with its 17” five spoke rims, side exhaust, black XR7 rear wing spoiler and matching vinyl top. The best part of all of this is that there are less than 3,500 miles on the car since being converted to a resto mod and the car is now reliable enough to be driven all day long. All said and done over $36,000 was spent on parts on labor to convert this from a stock Cougar to what you see now and that didn’t include the original purchase of the car. We have priced this car thousands below its $42,000 appraised value so if you like what you see you better pick up the phone and call us before it’s too late!

Price reduced to $34,900

Icon and Stealth EV are building an electric Derelict Mercury

Mon, May 14 2018

Icon, a company known for its high-quality restomod vehicles, is building another Derelict, this one a 1949 Mercury coupe. While the fact Icon is building another one of its sleeper hot rods with patina isn't the most shocking, what's under the hood is. The company has teamed up with Stealth EV to turn this latest Derelict into an electric car. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The car was shown in the above Twitter post with video. The exterior is just what you'd expect from an Icon Derelict. It's solid but with a weathered finish. And even as the guy from Stealth EV approaches the car, it looks like it has a V8 under the hood. But as he explains, there's actually the two motor controllers and half of a Tesla battery pack under there. It's just that they've all been given some classy looking metal casings and mounted to look like a V8. Apparently the motors themselves are in the transmission tunnel. The Stealth EV rep says it uses a pair of AM Racing motors. Depending on which motor controllers the companies are using, those motors could produce as much as 700 horsepower. Power will go to the rear wheels and no transmission will be used, making it direct drive. It will have a limited-slip differential, and the whole car sits on an Art Morrison chassis with independent suspension. This actually isn't the first electric Icon, nor the first developed with Stealth EV. Before this, the companies created a totally awesome electric Volkswagen Thing. That little truck made much less power at 180 horses, but it was also a way smaller and lighter vehicle. Related Video:

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception

Tue, 25 Sep 2012

It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
