Up for sale is my 52 Mercury coupe 2 door hardtop. I unfortunately do not have the time or funds to do this special auto justice. This car gets looks everywhere I take it. It has the makings of an awesome rat rod, hot rod or make it your own custom street rod. It has been restored previously in its life and looks remarkable for its age. The mileage that I have listed is what is showing on the odometer currently but I have no way of knowing what the actual mileage is. I do have a key for it but it only works the ignition. Its driver and passenger windows are spider cracked from age but still holding together. Window regulators in both doors and rear glass are functioning. The hard to find most expensive front and rear glass is not damaged. It drive train is a 302 auto with a 9" rear end. it does run and drive and I have driven it on the road although I would not trust it far. The exhaust is open just past the manifolds. So it is loud. The original brakes do function and stop the Merc. The original front end is nice and tight. That being said, I would suggest a trailer for the ride home. The electrical system has been updated to 12 volts and the front headlights have been replaced. the rear tail lights will need to rewired. The body and floor do have some rust as to be expected from a 50+ year old car. When the previous restoration was done patch panels were made for the floor pans so the floor does not give. The original gas tank has been removed but is included with the car. It runs off a fuel cell mounted in the trunk. The original hubcaps are also included. The wheels have been replaced and the tires are older but probably don't have 1000 miles on them and would last for some time as they are not dry rotted. The interior is nice but does show it age in places. This is an excellent start to get u going on a restoration or repair just minor items and drive it. Please ask any question before u bid or make an appointment to come out and look. I am available most days before 1pm. Call, text or send a message thru ebay and I can help u. 870-917-4381. I have a clean Arkansas title for this car so it is ready to go. I can assist with loading if needed. ask any questions before u bid as ur bid is a contract. I do have a reserve but it is not outrageous and it is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early as needed. I am asking for a $500 deposit within 24 hrs of the auctions close. The balance is due within 7 days payable by cashiers check or cash but it will be paid for in full and verified before the car and title leaves my possession. I can hold the car until we can make arrangements for it to be paid for and picked up. Max 14 days please. I am willing to sell worldwide but funds to be paid in USD and u are responsible for all shipping arrangements and fees . Thanks, happy biding, good luck!!!

Ringbrothers shows off Coyote-powered 1968 Mercury Cougar

Thu, Feb 25 2021

We'll openly admit that not every SEMA build is our cup of tea. But this? A tastefully resto-modded 1968 Mercury Cougar with a 460-horsepower Ford Mustang V8? Yeah, this is right in our wheelhouse. Sadly, there was no in-pwerson SEMA show in 2020, so we missed out on gems like this one. SEMA or no SEMA, the aftermarket carries on, and co-owners Jim and Mike Ring of Ringbrothers (get it?) saw no reason to let their time and effort go to waste. When they're not building wild customs (see: 1,100-horsepower 1972 AMC Javelin AMX) or more subtle showcases (such as this Cougar or their 1971 K5 Chevy Blazer build from 2018), the folks at Ringbrothers crank out factory reproduction parts, whether for old-fashioned restoration or modification purposes. While '60s muscle cars are recurring build subjects for the two, the Cougar was the first of its kind they tackled. Keeping it in the family, Ringbrothers sourced a Ford 5.0-liter "Coyote" V8 and a 10-Speed Automatic (lifted from an F-150 Raptor, incidentally) for the build. They didn't stop with the driveline, of course. The suspension was overhauled with a little help from DSE and a set of HRE Series C1 C103 Forged 3-Piece wheels were thrown over upgraded brakes. "We put our heart into each car we build, and this Cougar is no exception," Jim said. "The finished product is mild and classy, yet any enthusiast instantly knows it's not stock. I imagine this is what Mercury designers would have come up with if they were building the Cougar today." "While we couldn't bring the car to the SEMA Show, we hope it can be shown to the public soon," Mike said. "We had never done a Cougar before, so this was a fun build. I love working with new shapes and coming up with new ideas." There's plenty to appreciate about this Cougar apart from the mechanicals, too. The finish is Augusta Green Metallic (courtesy of BASF), which was a factory color in 1968. You may know it by another name: Highland Green. There are a few custom exterior touches, but they're quite subtle and styled to be period-correct. The interior was also restored and updated, and it's where you'll find the only thing we're not fond of: that big, fat truck shifter. Gearbox choices notwithstanding, it's a bit of an eyesore. But considering how gorgeous the rest is, we'll give it a pass. Related Video:

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill 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!

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
