Vehicle Description
Luxury, V8 power, and distinction have never been this affordable.
This 1967 Mercury Cougar XR7 has all of the right original pieces
combined with great upgrades. After all, who wouldn't appreciate a
radiant factory color on the outside and upgraded A/C comfort on
the inside?
The Mercury Cougar was the Mustang's rarer and more luxurious
cousin, and it carries that distinction nicely. Code-Y Dark Green
Metallic is this car's original color, and it has been given a
recent professional respray to radiate even more in the sunshine.
The paint is part of a total package that shows off this
well-respected classic. So as you look it all over, take notice of
how the body panels still retain the unique and crisp lines that
were exclusive to the Cougar. Plus, the Cougar's hidden headlights
and matching grille are more Lincoln than pony car. And the black
vinyl roof and white pinstripe are pure '60s premium. Plus, there
are great brightwork details, like the form-fitting chrome bumpers
and the bright factory wheel covers. And yes, the cool sequential
taillights are fully functional, too!
The white pinstripe on the outside is also a nice preview of the
parchment leather interior. This is a highly original setup, and
its condition is another reminder of the respect this coupe has
received. There's the classic three-spoke steering wheel, full
instruments, center console, and all that wood-like trim - this
coupe is the perfect blend of luxury and performance. But within
this vintage luxury are also a few subtitle modern comfort
upgrades. For example, the radio is now a retro-style AM/FM digital
tuner w/cassette. And the air conditioning is blowing cold with
modern R134a for easy servicing.
This is a C-code coupe, and so it's great to have a 289 cubic-inch
V8 under the hood. The V8 is even freshly rebuilt. It has some nice
flair with the polished air topper and valve covers looking good
against the big blue block. Plus, this has some great supporting
components, like a new alternator and an aluminum radiator. So the
V8 fires up nicely, idles smoothly, and feels good out on the open
road. And you really get to take full advantage of this motor
thanks to the three-speed manual transmission.
Complete with maintenance records and service manuals, this is the
distinct classic Cougar that's been invested in nicely to still be
easily enjoyed in modern times. Don't miss out, call today!!!
