1972 Mercury Cougar 351 Cobra Jet Factory 4sp. 3.25 Posi Rear End. Very nice car. Completely documented .... Marti Report, Original Ford Invoice, Window Sticker (reproduction from Kevin Marti) ..... Factory Silver (Pewter Metallic), Black Vinyl Top and Black Leather. 99% Rust free ..... very solid. Southern Car it's whole life. The car was sold new in South Carolina and has been in Florida for the past 8 years. It has always been garaged. The car has excellent frame rails and floorboards which are all original and have never been fixed or patched. I rebuilt the transmission and put in a new clutch when I got the car 7 years ago. The rear end has been serviced and has new bearings and lube in it. I replaced the gas tank and sending unit. The rubber brake lines have been replaced. The interior is real nice and the seats have no rips in them. The headliner is original and is in good condition but has one small hole it is above the from windshield about the size of a dime. The drivers side door panel has a very small crack in the vinyl by the door lock button. The carpet is original but still looks good (I have a brand new carpet set that goes with the car). The motor runs good and has a Holley Carb on it now but I have the original Ford 4310 carb that the car came with. The exhaust is all new with Hooker Headers which have been Jet Hot coated. Besides the Headers the rest of the exhaust is all original and the tail pipes exit just like they did from the factory. I have the original exhaust manifolds that go with the car. The car sounds excellent with a very performance sounding exhaust note. There are a few very minor dents and scratches in the car from 42 years of use but nothing major. The A/C is all complete and hooked up but it is still an R12 system and either needs R12 put back in it or it needs to be converted to R134. The Radio is a factory AM FM stereo and it works perfect. This car has no cut wires behind the dash and has never had any type of aftermarket radio or electronics installed in it. The dash pad is perfect and has no cracks in it. The steering wheel is the 'rim blow' type of steering wheel which has a few cracks in it but is in over-all good condition for its age. The tach works. All of the window roll up and down like they should. The body 'buck' tag is still on the core support (see picture). I am the third owner and I've had the car for 7 years. This car is just a nice running and driving original car that can be driven now just the way that it is. Every time I take this car to a car show or a cruise it always gets lots of attention because most people don't know that Mercury put manual transmissions in Cougar's. Also, for the weight of the car the 351CJ motor really makes this car jump. The 351CJ engine was the most powerful engine that you could get in a 1972 Cougar. It is very excelerating to drive and always gets lots of 'thumbs up'. If you want something different than everyone else and something that has lots of class and performance you should check this car out. In the 7 years I've owned the car I've never seen another '72 4sp. 351CJ Cougar like this one. A very rare and interesting car!!! For more info - Curtis 813-seven 3 two -six 0 six 8. I have a lot more pictures on my Photobucket page ..... Ebay won't let me post the link here to my Photobucket page .... if anyone wants to see those pictures email me and I can send you the link.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'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.
Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek
Fri, Jan 29 2016Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 – also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past – to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.
