More Cougar Weirdness on Ebay! October 18, 2005, 12:52:07 PM I didn't know if anybody had seen this car on Ebay yet:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mercury-Cougar-TWO-MERCURY-COUGARS-1985-AND-1986_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6339QQitemZ4582785296QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVWI almost like the hood setup. I've never seen or heard on this board of a suicide hood setup. The trunk looks a little less practical. The 13-inchers would HAVE to go, whether it's a low-rider or not. Shaved door handles and locks, neat trick, could take it or leave it, as long as there's a backup way to unlock and open stuff if power fails. Just thought I'd be interested in hearing the comments on this one. Enjoy!Fordman3 Quote Selected

Personally I dont like it, Its not a Jag loose the suicide hood, trunk worthless, door handle heh, Its not the general lee the door handles i think make the cars look good, and if i had to push a button in the grille to get in forget it. Rims my daughters tricycle has bigger rims and tires. basically and bluntly its a riced out cougar and falls in the ranks of tasteless :2c: Quote Selected

More Cougar Weirdness on Ebay! Reply #6 – October 18, 2005, 03:13:48 PM Gotta give the dude an 'A for effort' though. That car is for someone that wanted to do a reverse-flip hood and trunk but doesn't have the skills or money to do so. Quality of the work looks good enough. I've seen lots of people do up a 3.8 car, post it here with pride, and get positive comments...why can't he get the same? He did something that nobody else here has done (whether we wanted to or not), therefore he has more experience in this area and has more leverage for making judgments about it. I for one commend him for daring to be different. Besides, the rims and sidepipes can always be changed. And his descriptions of both cars seem to be brutally honest...even posted a phone number to contact him. I see nothing that would indicate he's being untruthful.Still love to know what 'blitz black' is though. Is that a polite way of saying 'primer'? Quote Selected

Reply #7 – October 18, 2005, 03:38:02 PM Well for one, the Hood and trunk are not even done correctly, all they are is two airshocks you can clearly see this from the pictures, the trunk i dont even see a way to secure it closed. The shaved door handles are done poorly, you can see exactly where they were if your going to do it do it right at least. Im willing to bet the hood and trunk are very weak when open, there is nothing to support the weight of the hood. I'm not saying the guy did a bad job, did better than i could have but what a waste, if its built to fail then it will fail. Quote Selected

Regardless of how it was done, the fact is that it's there and its real and not just an idea inside someone's head. And for that alone, I give props to the guy. Quote Selected
More Cougar Weirdness on Ebay! Reply #9 – October 18, 2005, 05:21:38 PM I actually don't think its that bad. For a driver it is horrible but it has potential to be a great custom show car. With some work like lambo doors, funtional side pipes and some good paint it wouldn't be bad. It would actually be very interesting and different. Well it's already different so it's headed in the right direction. That guy did his work to meet his personal standards so if the buyer doesn't think it's good enough, they'll fix it to their standards. There are things that I've jury rigged on my car that I'm sure other people wouln't do. It's fine with me since I did it to my standards but if I were to sell the car I'm sure those things would change. So who cares if the hood doesn't seem secure, it's good enough for him and if the buyer isn't happy with it, they'll fix it. Quote Selected
More Cougar Weirdness on Ebay! Reply #10 – October 18, 2005, 05:50:06 PM I think it's pretty ridicuous. Those wheels and their offset in particular. But it's not my car.................. obviously. I have a shred of taste.Props for screwing his car all on his own?This reminds me of the show we have called 'Canada's worst driver'. It's more about 'Making Heather feel good about herself while being a bad driver'. Quote Selected

Not only would I give the guy props, if he had a daughter my age, i'd marry her just to be in the family!..seriously.. no props for design and colour scheme.. not my style.. but props for doing something he wanted to his car and not just sitting around talking about what he's going to do, hell yes!
