Vehicle Description
The Mercury Cougar is a nameplate applied to a diverse series of
automobiles sold by Mercury from 1967 to 1997, and again from 1999
to 2002. While most examples were produced as two-door coupes, at
various times throughout its production life, the Cougar was also
sold as a convertible, four-door sedan, station wagon, and
hatchback. During its production life, as was common practice
within the Mercury division, the Cougar shared much of its
underpinnings with a Ford counterpart. At the time of its
introduction, it was based upon the Ford Mustang. As the Mustang
was downsized and redesigned in 1974, the Cougar became based upon
the intermediate Mercury Montego (itself based upon the Ford
Torino), becoming the replacement for the Montego in 1977. As the
Cougar XR7 became the equivalent of the Ford Thunderbird in 1977,
the Thunderbird would serve as the Ford counterpart of the Cougar
for two decades. After its initial discontinuation, the Cougar
emerged as a replacement for the Ford Probe sports coupe, based on
the Ford Contour "world car"; as such, it was sold outside of North
America as the Ford Cougar.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1969 Mercury Cougar for
consideration. The current owner of this Cougar has taken his time
over the last year restoring and getting it in tip-top shape. It
was repainted last year in a White paint resembling the original
color and it shines and presents exceptionally well. The interior
is all black and has also been fully restored, the seats, carpet,
headliner, dash cover are all new. The powerplant in this Cougar is
a 351 cubic inch V8 that was rebuilt by Baldwin Automotive last
year along with the restoration. Please call or email us today for
more information on this Cougar.
