1972 Mercury Cougar -unrestored With Original Paperwork- on 2040-cars
Lunenburg, Massachusetts, United States
|
A true time capsule- this 1972 Mercury Cougar is completely unrestored and in running condition! Included in the sale is all of the original paperwork. This means the bill of sale, original build sheet, owner's manual, several service records, an appraisal, and several other documents. This car was purchased new in Rhode Island and immediately sent to Utah where it never saw snow and only drove 64,000 miles!! And make no mistake- these are original miles. Accident free, this car was driven sparingly over its lifetime and always garaged when not in use. It is as close to new condition that you can get, both mechanically and cosmetically. On it's purchase date in 1972 an anti-rust coating was sprayed on the undercarriage to keep it totally clean- and you can tell. The frame is in near-perfect condition with no rust. Paint is excellent, with only a few marks on the drivers' door and trunk. The weather stripping is in beautiful condition and there are no leaks. Hood, trunk, and doors all close seamlessly. All chrome and glass is immaculate with no surface marks. The black leather seats show almost no signs of wear. The carpet follows suit, as original Cougar mats have been used since its purchase. The original engine is still intact and in excellent condition. The car starts up nicely and only has a few minor fluid leaks. Aside from that the 351 Cleveland V-8 is in close to new condition. Mechanics are virtually all original, except for an OEM replacement exhaust system.
Starting up this nostalgic vehicle is like getting into a time machine. The driver is instantly transported back to a Mercury dealer in 1972- driving the car off the lot for the first time. All components are factory original and in like-new condition. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime find. Don't let it get away! |

Petrolicious shows Mercedes 280SL as architecture in motion
Wed, Jun 17 2015While still an absolute beauty today, the design of the pagoda-roof W113 Mercedes-Benz SL was revolutionary when it debuted. Moving away from the soft curves of the previous SL models, the all-new generation brought an upright, angular shape that was as much architectural as automotive. In the latest video from Petrolicious, owner and architect Daniel Monti expounds on the inspiration that he gets from his 1969 280SL's fantastic styling. The roof is the most famous design feature of this generation of SL. Look at the top from the front or back, and you can see a gentle, downward arc that evokes the look of a pagoda. That one styling element is also a fabulous counterpoint to a vehicle that is largely more angular than curvaceous. Petrolicious wonderfully illustrates how some of the SL's form-follows-function design aesthetic can be found in the architect's work in this video's heaping helping of mid-century modern goodness.
NHTSA investigating 500k Ford and Mercury cars for lighting failures
Mon, Apr 6 2015The Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis might be long gone as new models in showrooms, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration might check them out yet again for a potential problem. At the urging of North Carolina Consumers Council, the agency may open another investigation into the front lighting control module on vehicles from the 2003-2005 model years, and NHTSA estimates the issue could affect 517,945 vehicles. If the module stops working, it can cause a complete failure of all forward lighting, including the headlights. NHTSA previously investigated the issue in 2008 and 2009 but found no need for a recall, according to Bloomberg. Ford also extended the warranty on the part to 15 years or 250,000 miles. To prompt this new request, the North Carolina Consumers Council received a letter from a woman experiencing the module's failure. Upon further investigation, the council found 604 complaints of this problem on NHTSA's website, including seven crashes. Furthermore, the group has alleged that dealers told customers that the parts to perform the replacement weren't available, despite the extended warranty. According to the government agency, "A defect petition has been opened to evaluate the issue and make a grant or deny decision." Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker tells Autoblog via email, "We will cooperate with NHTSA, as we always do." You can read the council's complete letter to the Feds in PDF format, here. INVESTIGATION Subject : Loss of headlamp/exterior lighting Date Investigation Opened: APR 01, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: DP15002 Component(s): EXTERIOR LIGHTING All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD CROWN VICTORIA 2003-2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS 2003-2005 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received a petition from the North Carolina Consumers Council, Inc. requesting a defect investigation of an alleged defect condition resulting in headlight and/or exterior lighting failure on 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles. The petition letter is attached for review. The petitioner alleges a defect in the lighting control module that powers the headlights which can result in the loss of vehicle headlights and/or all exterior lighting while driving. ODI has previously investigated this issue under PE08-066 which was closed without a defect finding.
