1969 Cougar 80,569 Miles Nice Car Mercury 69 on 2040-cars
Raymond, Illinois, United States
|
Selling a nice 69 Cougar. I bought the car off the original owners family. The car has been garaged most of its life and was in the garage when I bought it. After the original owners wife passed away the daughter would drive it when she came home to visit. Car is a nice well taken care of original car. The paint is fadded and was repainted in the late 70s with crapy Dupont Centari paint. There was a few dings fixed and a scrape fixed when it was painted. The body is straight with a few dings and a few rust bubbles. It has a few bubbles in the corners of the left door but the inside is clean. The right door is clean inside and out and has a few dings. The front fenders are clean and straight. The left quarter has a small hole behind the left rear wheel. It was just a small pin hole and some ass hole jabbed a screw driver through it. The right rear quarter is rust free and has peeling paint off the primer of a previous repair on the body line behind the door. It appears it had a scrape or rub in that area. There is no bondo where the car would rust out. The trunk lid is straight and clean on the inside. The top is not crack and looks like there is no rust under it. The glass and windsheild is good shape. Trim is all complete. The hideaway headlights work and stay closed for a few hours after you run it. It most likely needs new vacuume lines to stay shut all day. The turn signals and rear taillights work properly. The front bumper has a upwards dent in it from the farmer/owner jacking it up with a handy man jack. The rear bumper is straight but needs rechromed. Has front power disc brakes and they work properly. There is a rattle in the right front. I think it is the shock. The engine runs great and fires right up. It has factory power steering and factory bower brakes and they work good. The factory A/C needs repaired. It was working when I bought it but has leaked off since. The A/C hose that goes from the condensor to the compressor is loose where it is crimped to the tube. The interior is in nice shape. The dash,carpet,seats, door panels, console and weatherstrip are all original and has no cracks or tears. Even the weatherstrip is not cracked. The headliner was replaced with the correct pattern headliner. The under body was undercoated when new and has no rust. The torque boxes and frame rails are rust free. The front floor pans are great inside and out. Under the back seat there was a few pin holes in the floor pan from the inside and it was fixed. The trunk drop downs are straight and not rusted. I took out the interior and washed out all the rockers,floors and quarters then I rust proofed everything. It has a new fuel pump. It runs and drives great and I would not be afraid to drive it anywhere. I have the original Cougar hub caps but I took them off and put on Mustang hub caps. I have the original warranty card and original purchace invoice. Have 2 build sheets from under the carpet. I also have several papers from the owner. I am a small car dealer and collect cars also. I bought this car and would like to keep it and do a Cougar Elminator clone but I need to spend some money on 4 other cars I am restoring so I am letting this one go. Since I am a car dealer in IL you will have to pay title and sales tax if you live in IL. Any questions you can call my shop at 2one7 2two9 3four2four

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
