Mercury Other Stock on 2040-cars
Tacoma, Washington, United States
This body-on restoration was a 3 year project completed in early 2010 and started with probably the most pristine rust-free stock body you could find. No rust anywhere, body-off not required. The car hadn't been re-painted or re-upholstered since 1964. Originally a California car, the second owner in Tacoma, WA bought it in 1965, gave it to his son in 1975, who sold it to me in 2000 with 99,900 original miles on it. Always garage stored, very little driving in rain. Most of the interior stainless trim had been removed during re-upholstery in 1964 and I spent years acquiring it again. Body is still stock with 1951 Mercury fender skirts added; engine & running gear mostly stock with re-builds and a few changes for safety & convenience as well as a few "WOWS". Options available from factory but not on car were found and added. BODY & INTERIOR: Stock 1950 Mercury 8 Coupe with 1951 fender skirts. Re-painted in 1966 Corvette "Trophy Blue" with some Pearl added. Detailed pin striping by Jr. Nelson both inside & outside. Upholstery done in similar styling to original including all stainless trim, and is leather w/naughahyde trim matching exterior color w/Pearl White accent colors. Hand assist straps added to side posts and rope assists on back of front seats. 4 lap seat belts added matching as close as possible. Carpet is a slightly darker blue. Headliner is Pearl White as accent trim but shows darker in photos. A custom console was added for me and is short enough for seat to be pulled up all the way. Glove box is shallow to allow room for the Vintage Air heat/AC ductwork and is wired to plug in an I-Pod to run off radio as well as charge it. Alpine iDAX100 is AM/FM & iPod, displays playlists & content playing. 6 speakers & amplifier make a terrific sound. Original radio & clock remain but are not working (radio face only). Original dash/gauges but only speedometer & fuel gauge wired to work. Vintage style Autometer gauges added for oil pressure, voltage, tach, and water temp gauges for both left & right pumps. OEM steering wheel reconditioned and colored to match accent trim & dash. Front & side window frames are chromed and has opening rear quarter windows. All new seals during restoration (makes quarter windows difficult to close). Trunk interior finished same as interior and upholstered panel added to hide amplifier and battery. Custom Mercury head emblem added to panel. Spare wheel/tire match the rest. Original grill & bumpers, chrome & stainless is original, OEM or NOS and restored as necessary. ENGINE & RUNNING GEAR: This is a numbers matching car. Original V8 Flathead was re-built by H&H Flatheads in California. Originally 255CI bored to .125 over for 276CI. Holly 39 CFM 4 barrel carb with chrome air cleaner; Edelbrock polished aluminum heads & intake manifold; Fenton polished duel exhausts; 100 AMP chrome alternator; power steering using the stock column; chrome pulleys & AC pump. Chrome radiator support-pretty much all chrome or polished under the hood! New custom Walker 3 core radiator keeps it cool and looks like original. Electric fan with manual override; new Ron Francis wiring throughout for 12V (reducer for 6V used for fuel gauge) with a master fuse that cuts all power when removed, built in connector for a trickle charger. JAMCO front end suspension & power front disc brakes, stock rear drum brakes. MSD Billet Ready Distributor & Blaster II Coil. Original 3 speed transmission on the column without overdrive has been gone through and new driveline installed that is "beefier" than original. Dana 44 rear end with 3.91:1 gear ratio. This car runs great and sounds great!! It's the only classic car I've owned that doesn't leak anything. OTHER: Chrome wheels & baby moons with Coker wide white radial tires (matching spare); stainless door handle guards, Halibrand stainless tail pipe deflectors w/Mercury head, curb buffers & chrome gas door trim. Blue Dot tail lights. At the time of this posting the mileage is under 1000 miles since restoration, stored in a heated garage, and trailered any long distances. It was featured in a 1998 story in 1949-1950-1951 Ford Mercury Owners Magazine prior to my restoration; this will be included for it's history plus an Owner's Manual and other literature I have accumulated. Also comes with 2 car covers-1 for indoor, 1 for outdoor. I doubt you can find another 1950 Mercury in this condition that is un-chopped, not shaved and essentially stock. It has won many awards for Best of Show and Best Engine; including a Best Engine at Reno's Hot August Nights (pretty good for a flathead)! Appraised in 2010 for $70,000

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.
Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack
Sat, May 30 2015With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.
What do you do with a fake Bugatti Veyron for $60k?
Tue, Mar 29 2016Replica cars are a challenging labor of love because builders spend countless hours recreating a vehicle that people immediately compare to the real thing. Perhaps, the person behind this Mercury Cougar-based Bugatti Veyron should look for another way to pass that time. The coupe is currently for sale on eBay Motors for $59,900. The builder deserves some credit because the fiberglass body looks acceptable in the photos from farther away. The car might even fool a few people from a distance. However, the devil is in the details, and the closer you look, the worse this gets. The side intakes are especially rough. The red interior is atrocious. It's essentially the Cougar's cabin but in an eye-searing shade accented with lots of fake carbon fiber. The seller's eBay Motors ad really tries to market the look, though. "You slide in to [sic] this extremely comfortable leather interior and you feel like your bank account just quadrupled in size," the listing says. Don't expect to win any top speed titles in this Veyron replica, either. Rather than a mid-mounted quad-turbo W16, a 3.0-liter V6 from a Mercury Sable sits at the front. Thanks to an upgraded intake and exhaust, the seller claims, "It doesn't sound like your grandmas [sic] Sable." We wish the seller the best of luck, but the asking price of nearly $60,000 is probably too optimistic. We would still think twice about buying it even after taking a zero off that figure, but at least this thing is fun to look at. Related Video:
