Marti Report

 

I got the Cougar in 2011.  The previous owner got the car from Arizona, and he told me it was restored about 5 years before I got it.

 

Since I have had the Cougar, the following was done to it.  I have receipts for everything listed.

- new starter, alternator, and voltage regulator 

- dash rewired and new circuit board - all gauges work (the speedometer needs to be calibrated, and the clock does not work)

- door locks fixed

- top adjusted

- new power top hydraulic cylinders and lines

- new Custom Autosound AM/FM stereo, fits without having to cut the dash

- new speakers

- new radiator

- new front end

- new power steering pump, box, and cylinder

- new heater switch (heater works, but windshield defroster doesn’t)

- new transmission filter and fluid flush

 

The car runs good and is driven almost every day.  I use it to get to work (8 miles one way).  It starts on the first try almost every time.  The power top works good, but there is a slow hydraulic fluid leak.  There are slow oil, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid leaks, a slow vacuum leak in the headlight covers, and oil in the radiator.  Sometimes, in hot weather, the transmission does not shift right.

 

The paint is in good condition and the body and underside are very solid.  The interior is also good, but not perfect, and there is a large crack in the dash.

 

If you have any questions, need more pictures, or want to see or drive the Cougar call Danny at 713-705-4826.

Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible

Wed, 31 Aug 2011

Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.

The AM37 is literally the Aston Martin of boats

Wed, Sep 28 2016

While sports car companies such as Porsche and Lamborghini are looking to SUVs to expand their offerings, Aston Martin has taken a page from Mercedes and designed a boat. Specifically, it's a 37-foot powerboat appropriately named the AM37. The boat was developed with help from Mulder Design and Quintessence Yachts, and is available in two different versions, both of which should the aquatic equivalent of Aston Martin performance. The standard AM37 is available with two different pairs of engines from Mercury, either 370-horsepower diesel engines or 450-horsepower gas engines. If that's not enough, Aston also offers the AM37S, which comes with a pair of 520-horsepower gasoline Mercury engines. Like road-going Astons, this boat is absolutely gorgeous. The lines are simple, crisp and clean. It features a beautiful wood deck, and an impressive double-curved, single-piece glass windshield. And if you get tired of the sun, the AM37 features a powered, carbon fiber bimini top. The interior completes the package with a carbon fiber dashboard, lots of leather and polished steering wheel, throttle and joystick. It's also incredibly well-equipped with seating for eight, air conditioning, mood lighting, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, a bed that folds out from the table, and even a bathroom. Aston Martin didn't release pricing or availability for the AM37. However, we suspect that if you really want this boat and have the means, pricing doesn't matter, and you're probably willing to wait.
