Good point but unfortunatly that doesn't make the front end look any better.

 

This is EXACTLY what Mercury needs to breathe some life into the brand.

If they could find a way to increase rear seat room, all the better.

With good styling, power and a healthy list of high-end goodies it would be a great image car for Mercury

 

I'd love to see a Couger re-make... I almost bought a friends I think 68 Cougar a while back for about $1,500 it was in near perfect condition. he get tired of tinkering with it. Really kicked myself in the butt for not getting it... It was a gorgeous car. Black with Chrome everything.

 

you know what?..... it that Cougar a chop? I'd been sittin' here for months thinkin' it actually was presented at one of the shows early in the summer. I feel like a real donkey.... good times.

 

yep, I thought for a while that it was real........realised about 3 months ago that it wasn't!

 

They should have kept this in the 2005 Mustang thread.

 

well, that's a bummer... I was thinkin' there was hope for a new REAL Cougar.

 

Why? Out of curiosity.

 

have you changed that bloody avatar again????? it was a black car this morning!

 

How about something like this?

My favorite Mercury.

 

I love that chop, but i don't see any mercury blood in it, compared to the other cars in their line. They're all about family ties nowadays, i think a cougar today would be pretty classy, not too brutish, i think that chop looks mean! which is cool, but i think the real thing would probably be a bit more classy, and it'd deffinitely have the verticle bar grill.

 

My Cougar!

 

I think those headlights are from the Australian Ford Falcon. Ford of Australia has their own performance, line FPV.

Here is a Ford FPV GT

Whoever chopped it pulled the front end directly off an Australian Falcon, mated it with the '05 Mustang and did a dang fine job of it. I always forget who did it, because they didn't sign it.

I know it doesn't have the vertical grill or the headlight covers, but I think that car would sell FAR better than the other Cougar concepts I've seen around. I personally think the headlight covers were hideous anyhow, and just add another moving part to break (there's a reason the Corvette has gone away from popups).

 

say don't forget Sequential Taillights straight from the factory

 

That is so beautiful! I love the stuff from the 40's and 50's.

 

Oh my ... that's one beautiful car right there I agree with holderca1. That would look really nice next to a 2005 Mustang in the garage

 

i loved the mark VIII




a luxery rwd coupe with 295 horsepower
thats wut ford needs, they dont have a luxery coupe, they can make it happen with 300+hp
