Vehicle Description
The Mercury Cougar initially hit the market in 1967 and was based
on the Ford Mustang. Mercury finally gained its own Pony car and
was an instant hit. The second generation hit the market in 1971
and was a bit larger and was closer in size to its main GM
competitors such as the Olds Cutlass. They were available with a
range of V8 engines and were quite popular, with 180k sold from
1971 till 1973.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this unique 1972 Cougar for
your consideration. The body is finished in Dark Green Metallic and
according to the provided deluxe Martini Report, the car was
produced in Dearborn and was delivered on 08/12/1972. Other
important features of this car include the 351cid Cobra Jet V8
engine with 4bbl carburetor. It was factory rated at 266 net
horsepower. It is mated to a C-6 Cruise-O-matic transmission and
the 3.25 rear axle ratio. The body is in nice shape. Overall the
paint is nice, with good gloss but some imperfections. Chrome trim
is decent and the car is one of just 549 convertibles ordered with
factory wire wheel covers in 1972. The tan power convertible top
with glass rear window is in good condition and the car also
factory badging throughout. The interior is Medium Ginger and has
front leather bucket seats that are in good shape but have the
usual amounts of wear. The dash is very clean with no cracks and
the wood look trim is nice. A wrapped steering wheel is present, as
is a newer Sony stereo system.
The Martini Report claims that just 110 convertibles were ordered
in this color configuration, making them quite rare. Other notable
options include power steering, tilt wheel, power front disc
brakes, air conditioning, AM radio, center console, tinte glass,
appearance protection groupe, and belt radial tires. A rare and
understated vehicle, it comes with two keys, paperwork and an
assortment of spare parts.
