1968 Mercury Cougar XR-7 GT Original Paint Survivor S code 390 GT Big Block Original California Black Plate Car No Reserve! Over 100 Pics, Scroll Down
You viewing are a very rare find, a 1968 Mercury Cougar XR-7 GT S code 390 (Marti Report verified & included) with only 70200 original miles, #'s matching with original paint! Only the hood has been repainted & some nicks have been touched up over the years, some thin spots. Car still retains all of it's original sheet metal and is virtually rust free! The original paint still holds a shine and looks good. The car was just brought to the Northeast from California and still has it's original California Black Plates. We were going to paint the car but I feel it would be a shame to paint this car, the next owner can see what he is getting and decide for himself if he wants to paint it. The car is absolutely arrow straight. The chrome around the grill & headlights as well as the tail light chrome is mint, no pits. The original Dark Red leather interior was sun faded, so the whole interior has been replaced, including headliner, seat covers, dash pad, carpet, package tray, etc.. Note: Dash Pad (not cap) is in transit to us from John's Cougar Parts (DK Red) will be installed by auctions end. The original GT 390 325hp motor runs great, no smoke or odd noises, she runs smooth and the C-6 Merc-O-Matic shifts as she should. As you can see by the pics, the motor has original patina but has no oil leaks, motor is clean and dry. No crazy headers or non stock chrome, all original under the hood. The underside of this beauty is just as clean as the top (see pics), the floors, rockers, trunk, frame rails etc. are completely rust free. The brakes have recently been converted to power disc (nice upgrade) & is about the only thing that isn't original. Marti Reports breaks it down as follows (scroll to see pic). Serial Number 8R93S508182 8 1968 R Built at San Jose Trim Plate: Dealer# 53A180 The only thing that deviates from the list above is the radio is AM only. Car still has it's original steel styled wheels in near mint condition. All the toggle switches,dash gages, lights, wipers, blower motor all work. The glass is clean and the windows roll up & down nicely. The doors shut like new. All weather strips are good. All in all this is one hell of a find for a Ford or Mercury enthusiast! Very rare car! As always, please ask all questions or come see the car for yourself PRIOR to auctions end.

Car Stories: Owning the SHO station wagon that could've been
Fri, Oct 30 2015A little over a year ago, I bought what could be the most interesting car I will ever own. It was a 1987 Mercury Sable LS station wagon. Don't worry – there's much more to this story. I've always had a soft spot for wagons, and I still remember just how revolutionary the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable were back in the mid-1980s. As a teenager, I fell especially hard for the 220-horsepower 1989 Ford Taurus SHO – so much so that I'd go on to own a dozen over the next 20 years. And like many other quirky enthusiasts, I always wondered what a SHO station wagon would be like. That changed last year when I bought the aforementioned Sable LS wagon, festooned with the high-revving DOHC 3.0-liter V6 engine and five-speed manual transmission from a 1989 Taurus SHO. In addition, the wagon had SHO front seats, a SHO center console, and the 140-mph instrument cluster with mileage that matched the engine. When I bought it, that number was just under 60,000 – barely broken in for the overachieving Yamaha-sourced mill. The engine and transmission weren't the only upgrades. It wore dual-piston PBR brakes with the choice Eibach/Tokico suspension combo in front. The rear featured SHO disc brakes with MOOG cargo coils and Tokico shocks, resulting in a wagon that handled ridiculously well while still retaining a decent level of comfort and five-door functionality. I could attack the local switchbacks while rowing gears to a 7,000-rpm soundtrack just as easily as loading up on lumber at the hardware store. Over time I added a front tower brace to stiffen things a bit as well as a bigger, 73-mm mass airflow sensor for better breathing, and I sourced some inexpensive 2004 Taurus 16-inch five-spoke wheels, refinished in gunmetal to match the two-tone white/gunmetal finish on the car. That, along with some minor paint and body work, had me winning trophies at every car show in town. And yet, what I loved most about the car wasn't its looks or performance, but rather its history. And here's where things also get a little philosophical, because I absolutely, positively love old used cars. Don't get me wrong – new cars are great. Designers can sculpt a timeless automotive shape, and engineers can construct systems and subsystems to create an exquisite chassis with superb handling and plenty of horsepower. But it's the age and mileage that turn machines into something more than the sum of their parts.
Watch as an out-of-control car demolishes gas pump
Tue, May 2 2017A Baltimore area man was fighting for his life Tuesday after crashing his car into a gas station. According to WBAL, the unidentified 64-year-old lost control of his vehicle for unknown reasons around 4:55 a.m. May 1 in Parkville, Md. The 2007 Mercury Milan careened downhill, ramped over a curb, and smashed full-speed into a gas station pump. The car then flipped and came to rest against one of the station's canopy support pillars. Don Karbowniczek, owner of a service station across the street, told WBAL he was shocked there wasn't more damage. It's also surprising that the car even made it to the pumps, as it had to thread past a coin-op vacuum machine, the station's sign, a utility pole, and a traffic light pole. "It came right through, took some of our bushes out, just trimmed them for us, and how it got through and flip the way it did, I don't know. From what I see on the marks, it had to go airborne and just come down on the pump," Karbowniczek said. Thankfully there was no fire or explosion. Gas pumps have shear valves - safety devices that immediately cut the flow of gasoline when a pump is damaged. The driver was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, and was in critical condition. Police theorized the driver may have become stricken with a health issue when he lost control.
