1995 Mercury Cougar Xr-7 Sedan 2-door 3.8l- Runs Great! on 2040-cars
Oviedo, Florida, United States
For sale is a 1995 Mercury Cougar automobile, beige/ champagne color,
nice paint, 6 cylinder engine, 2 doors, everything is solid
mechanically, and a VERY smooth and comfortable ride, with working ICE
COLD AIR conditioning! The odometer shows 90,000 miles on it, but
noticed it just stopped working a few months back (could maybe be a
loose cable or fuse?), so add a few thousand miles to it, I can verify
the approximate mileage with the title and recent registration papers
(the speedometer and gauges DO work). This car has many nice features like power windows,
power door locks, power seats, cruise control, tilt wheel, rear window
defroster, a/c, and very nice bucket seats (no smoking). Seats are in
excellent condition, only 1 spot on the driver's seat 3" long tear/ wear
mark that is a common wear area from rubbing as you go in and out of
the vehicle... and non smoking owner so interior is in excellent shape
and very clean. The car has had regular maintenance, i.e. oil changes
and lube jobs, tune up/ spark plugs, and many new parts/ service within
the last year including: brand new front wheel bearings, rotors and
brakes!, a few new brake lines, new tensioner/ pulley on front of
engine, and a few steering/ stabilizer bars (so the steering is nice and
tight.... and straight!). So basically the entire front end and brakes
are like brand new, about $1,500-$2,000 alone to do all that in a shop.
Stereo is working fine as well.
The car does have some rust on the underside, and at the bottoms of the doors, the passenger side being the most significant. You can repair it with bondo/ fiberglass and it would be fine, but it never bothered me that much and if you can live with (or fix) a little rust, you get a great vehicle for the price. The only other issue is that it needs a power steering line repaired, which recently broke. Hence, the price has been discounted for these things. This vehicle and should provide years of dependable service and make a very nice car. Similar vehicles selling for $3,500+ on CL and Ebay. This is a great car for a great price, very nice ride and comfortable. I'm in Oviedo (East Orlando) area 32766, buyers are welcome to come inspect before auction ends, just send a message with any questions. Cash upon pickup please. |

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.
Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill 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!
eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
