1969 MERCURY COUGAR ELIMINATOR. BEFORE I GIVE THE DETAILS THIS IS NOT A NUMBERS MATCHING CAR NOR DID THIS CAR COME FROM THE FACTORY WITH THIS ENGINE. IT ORGINIALLY CAME WITH A 351 AND FMX TRANSMISSION. NOW FOR THE DETAILS, HAS FRESHLY REBUILT 428 ENGINE FROM A LOCAL MACHINE SHOP WITH ANEW ELEBROCK CARB, HOOKER HEADERS, EARLY 1970'S ALUMUNIUM ELEBROCK STREET PERFORMER 890 MANIFOLD. NEW STARTER,REGULATOR, BATTERY, REBUILT RADIATOR. FROM THE EARLY 1970'S A OVAL COUGAR AIR CLEANER ( NOT A REPRO ). AUTO C-6 TRANSMISSION, NEW DRIVELINE, NEW FRONT COIL SPRINGS, NEW FRONT DISC ROTORS AND BEARINGS. WHEELS ARE FROM THE LATE 1960'S EARLY 1970'S BUT ARE NOT ORGINIAL TO CAR. HAS BIAS PLY TIRES. RECHROMED FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS, TAILIGHT HOUSINGS AND ALL TRIM EXCEPT FOR FRONT AND BACK WINDOW TRIM. WINDOWS ARE ORGINIAL WITH SOME SCRATCHES, BUT NOT BAD. NEW DOOR HANDLES AND ROCKER TRIM. NEW BRAKE LINES AND FUEL LINES, NEW FUEL TANK. INTERIOR HAS NEW UPHOLSTERED FRONT SEATS, REAR SEATS, DOOR PANELS AND QUARTER PANELS WERE DYED BLACK. WAS ORGINIALLY BLUE. NEW CARPET PACKAGE TRAY AND SAIL PANELS. ALL GAUGES WORK. NEW EXHAUST FROM ENGINE BACK. THE PAINT IS IN GREAT CONDITION WITH A FEW CHIPS AND SCRATCHES. I HAVE A KEVIN MARTI REPORT AND BUILD SHEET ALSO. YOU MAY NOTICE THAT IT DOSEN'T HAVE A CLOCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THAT PANEL HAD SURFACE RUST SO BAD THAT I COULDN'T SAVE SO I REPLACED WITH A STANDARD PANEL AND HAD IT COVERED. AND YOU MAY ASK ABOUT THE SIDE STRIPES, I MADE IT TO MY LIKEING AND DID NOT PUT THE STRIPES DOWN THE SIDE AND PUT THE ELIMINATOR AND 428 ON THE FENDERS. HISTORY OF THE CAR GOES LIKE THIS: BOUGHT CAR ON EBAY, TAKING THE OWNERS WORD FOR IT AS A RUST FREE CAR. WHEN IT ARRIVED I INSPECTED IT THE FLOORPAN WAS COMPLETELY GONE, ALL ENGINE APRONS RUSTED, FRONT PASSINGER DOOR RUSTED ON BOTTOM, FRONT FENDERS NEEDED REPAIR AND REAR QUARTERS NEEDED ATTENTION. HAD A PROFESSIONAL BODY SHOP REPLACE AND FIX ALL THE RUST. I HAD A 1 PEICE FLOORPAN INSTALLED, FOUND 2 1969 FRONT FENDERS TO USE AND FIXED THE REAR QUARTERS, LOCATED A 1969 PASS.DOOR AND INSTALLED, REPLACED ALL ENGINE APRONS. AS ALOT OF YOU KNOW WHEN RESTORING THESE KINDS OF CARS YOU CAN QUICKLY GET MORE MONEY INTO IT THAN IT IS WORTH. SO, TO STOP THE BLEEDING THERE ARE STILL A FEW THINGS THAT THE NEW OWNER WILL NEED TO ADDRESS: THE DRIVER DOOR MIRROR WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE CABLES ARE BROKEN THE RIM STYLE STEERING WHEEL HORN WILL NEED TO BE FIXED THE BACKUP LIGHTS AREN'T WORKING AND THE RADIO IS THERE BUT DOESN'T WORK. I HAVE PUT ON A FAIR RESERVE, BUT I'M WILLING TO TAKE A 1967/8 MUSTANG FASTBACK ON TRADE. PLEASE NO RUST BUCKETS. AS WITH MOST SALES AS IS WHERE IS. IF YOU WANT ANY PICTURES OF A CERTAIN SPOT OR SIDE LET ME KNOW AND I'LL TRY TO GET THEM TO YOU. THANKS |

eBay Find of the Day: Mercury Marauder two-door convertible
Wed, 31 Aug 2011Never underestimate what you'll see on eBay Motors. Take this unique creation, for example. Near as we can tell, it's the same 2002 Mercury Marauder that was modified into a two-door convertible by Ford for the 2002 Chicago Auto Show. According to the seller, this car still boasts its Eaton supercharger bolted to a 4.6-liter V8 engine, and at the time of its debut, the engine was rated at a lofty 335 horsepower. We have a hard time believing that the extra ponies would do much to offset the weight of the additional frame stiffeners and top mechanism on the car, however.
The vehicle is currently offered for sale by a dealer in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, though the listing is mum on how the convertible managed to make its way from Ford's Windy City show stand into the seller's inventory. If you like what you see, the machine can be yours for the princely sum of $75,000 or best offer. Head over to eBay Motors to take a gander at the listing.
Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
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.
