Vehicle Description
This 1969 Mercury Cougar mixes style, V8 power, vintage
distinction, and proper investments in a desirable cruising
package. So rarely will you find a classic coupe that lets you
stand out instantly that's also priced so affordably.
The Cougar certainly has an attractive big cat swagger. The styling
is Mustang-sized, but it's a little more sophisticated - from the
sporty body crease sweeping the profile, to the hidden headlights
that were definitely more Lincoln than Ford. A few extra dollops of
chrome, including the hallmark sequential tail lights with their
chrome surrounds. So this car manages to look both sporting and
elegant at the same time. The Dark Aqua Metallic certainly looks
right for this dual premium and sporty role that the Cougar
represented. It has a good shine and a radiant glow. Plus, a
well-done white vinyl roof is the ideal way to announce a 1960s
upper-class machine. It's a total package that gives you a premium
distinction that also is quite driver-ready.
The exterior blue and white have a tropical feel to it, and so
we're glad to see the theme continue with the white interior. And
because this is a true driver's car, you have the right
high-traffic areas like carpeting and steering wheel done in black.
It has been updated correctly for you to enjoy more time behind the
wheel. This includes an upgraded cup holder center console, more
recently reupholstered front bucket seats, and an AM/FM stereo with
Bluetooth for better driving music. And while this has the right
updated feel, it never loses the vintage feeling. It's in the
details like the working dome lights, hallmark four gauge layout,
and plenty of wood-like trim.
Power for the big cat comes from a 351 cubic-inch V8. It's an ideal
motor for torque and stoutness. Plus, we have a receipt for almost
$1,500 from 2020 documenting detailed maintenance on the motor and
transmission. That is why it fires up nicely, idles well, and the
three-speed auto shifts smoothly. Add in power steering, power
brakes, front discs, and wide Cooper Cobras to help deliver an easy
driving total package worthy of the Cougar name.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and service
manuals. It makes for the affordable classic coupe with a ton of
premium flair. Call today!!!
