For Sale: 1970 Mercury Cougar in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

MaxMotive is proud to offer this historic 1970 Mercury Cougar from our Pittsburgh Showroom. Any classic from 1970 has historical significance, but this Cougar is something special. Ford Motor Company built the car and gifted it to Whitney Young Jr. in 1970. It was one of only two cars built under the Partner Recognition Program - aka the X-Plan - that year. Mr. Young was an advisor to three U.S. presidents and was also known as a civil rights leader, and his story was portrayed in the motion picture "The Power Broker." The extraordinary story adds provenance to what is already a highly desirable automobile. It features the well-respected 351ci 2V V8 engine and floor-shifted automatic transmission. Ford endowed it with factory air conditioning, high-back bucket seats with center console, power steering, and power front disc brakes. It was refinished in 2021 in its original color, Dark Aqua Metallic, which is accented with a black vinyl roof. Bonus items that are included with the car are original LP records, books authored by Mr. Young, Whitney Young postage stamps, movie videos, and other documentation, along with the original wheel covers, a car cover, and an Elite Marti Report.
