1969 Mercury Cougar Convertible. All original 290 HP 351 Windsor V8, T-type center floor automatic transmission shifter (Merc-O-Matic) transmission. This is an all original car. She is a great “Daily Driver.” The interior is in excellent condition—previous owner was an upholsterer. This is a California “Black Plate” car. The top is newer and the entire top mechanism works perfectly. All of the gauges work, wipers, lights (yes, the light doors operate). The steering wheel horn assembly is non-op. This is not an A/C car. The VIN is 9F92H; 9 = 69 F = Dearborn Mich, 92 = Convertible (very few cars were made for this being the first year the convertible was offered,) H = 351 Windsor.

The engine was recently rebuilt, and it shows. She runs like a honey needing speed. New battery, dist. Cap, rotor, and wires. New Interstate (heavy duty 1000 CCA) battery w/ new cables—not shown in photo but is now installed in the car, new starter and solenoid too. This car has been very well taken care of—and it shows. It is NOT an X-R7 nor is it an Eliminator—it does have the stripping down the sides for the Eliminator. The engine oil pan gasket has minor oil leak, and the transmission speedo gear o-ring seal is leaking.

The paint is NOT the original color, the “door tag” is not there—so I do not know the original color. It appears to be a newer paint job, but does have minor paint chips—see pictures. No dents, and yes, the car does shine well in the sun—see pics too. No rust found anywhere, there is a carpet kit installed in the trunk, and it is glued down on the sides, looking from underneath the floor pans look great.

The main frame does not appear to have been on a frame straightener; so, looks like no major accidents. The entire undercarriage was cleaned, see pics, looks like when they did a restoration, it was not a full “FRAME-OFF,” but a thorough job was. The car drives well, no pulling of the steering wheel, no braking problems, and the car shifts well. All four tires a new, w/ less than 50 miles on them. I did have the rear trunk lid chrome piece refurbished—it came out great; all other chrome is in great condition w/o any pitting or flaking. This is your opportunity to own a convertible classic w/ great looks and HP to take it around for a cruise.

Please read the following--before you bid!

The car is for sale locally; so I could end auction at any time.

Please send your inspector BEFORE you bid on the car. Inspections are encouraged and welcomed.

It is your responsibility to verify to the cars true "originality;" you pay your mechanic to tear down the engine to verify.

Any photos you want, of any area of the car, I will take and send it to you via email.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!

Ford recalling 450,000 Fusion, Mercury Milan sedans

Tue, Nov 24 2015

Ford has announced a pair of recalls, and both are critical safety issues. The exponentially larger of the two recall campaigns affects over 450,000 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans manufactured at the Hermosillo plant between July 21, 2008, and March 4, 2011. The canister purge valve in the fuel tank could malfunction and could cause the top of the tank to crack and leak fuel. That could cause a fire, although Ford "is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires" resulting from the issue. Affected vehicles will have their ECU software updated and their fuel tanks inspected for potential replacement. The company estimates there are 411,205 affected units in the United States (and its federalized territories), plus another 33,605 in Canada, and 7,055 in Mexico. The second recall affects 13 F-650 trucks. The column shifter's park position mechanism may fracture and let the truck roll away unexpectedly. Those 2016 models built in Ohio between July 29 and September 3, 2015 are all located in the US. Fixing the problem will require replacing the steering column and reconfiguring the instrument panel. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS IN NORTH AMERICA DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 23, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is issuing two safety recalls in North America. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles in North America for potential fuel tank issue Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 450,000 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles for a potential issue with the fuel tank. Some of these vehicles might have a canister purge valve that does not work properly, causing internal pressure changes inside the fuel tank. Repeated pressure changes inside the tank could result in a crack on the top of the tank, possibly allowing fuel to leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can lead to a fire. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant from July 21, 2008 through March 4, 2011. There are a total of approximately 451,865 vehicles that might be affected in North America, including 411,205 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories, 33,605 in Canada and 7,055 in Mexico.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
