1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator Clone Convertible. This car is being sold as a Restoration project. Original 351W, FMX trans, dual exhaust. Motor was rebuilt and runs. Car hasn't been driven in 20 years. Front and rear spoilers, and the bold hood scoop with the Eliminator striping kit. Previous owner replaced floor pans, both quarters and fenders at one time, but used the original doors. They didn't make aftermarket quarter panels back then, so most likely these were original FoMoCo quarter panels that were used. Quarters look good as do the front fenders. Previous owner did a hatchet job cleanup on the doors and appears to have sprayed bombed and bondo'd the door corners. Overall the doors do look very good and are hard to find used.

Complete interior. AM/FM radio is included but unconnected and no speakers in dash or door panel slots.The carpet is new and the front bucket seats were reupholstered. The original dash pad is in very nice shape, and I couldn't find any cracks anywhere.There is a matching set of four P225/70SR14 inch Grand Prix Radial G/T raised white lettered tires mounted on Magnum 500 wheels. Brakes are not in working order but I am going to attempt to repair. Missing all mirrors and headlight vacuum switch. The trunk also has the factory styled trunk mat t from Ken's Cougars and a full size Magnum 500 spare with an original jack and crow bar.

The trunk floor in good condition however the drivers side torque boxes and frame rails are poor. Paint is a 10 footer and is chipped and faded. Front bumper is in need of re-chrome. This is being sold as a restoration car or for parts, not safely drive-able at present.

I will answer any questions you have honestly and truthfully unlike some sellers on this site. I will assist with shipping anywhere

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
