It Came From eBay Hell: Mercury Cougar Based Bugatti Veyron Replica


Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner. Of all the cars I’ve featured in “It Came From eBay Hell”, this one takes the cake.

Is the Cougatti Just the Purtiest 2002 Mercury Cougar you ever did see?

.fullpost { display: inline; } Sure, most people would love to have a Bugatti Veyron; sadly, at over a million bucks a pop we're talking a vehicle that's slightly out of reach for most consumers. Thankfully, one man and eBay have rectified this issue with something we'll call a Cougatti (or Bougar). Based on a 112,000-mile 2002 Mercury Cougar with a V6 and automatic transmission, this
