HIGHLIGHTS: Survivor car! Just one owner since new! Offered for
sale for the first time since 1967! Time-capsule, 289-powered,
two-door Cougar cruiser! Unrestored survivor with one repaint! BODY
OVERVIEW: The body on this 1967 Mercury Cougar is in impressive
original condition! With just over what is said to be 100,000
actual miles on this unrestored car, it is looking pretty good for
55 years old. There are some previous rust repairs visible
underneath the car, as seen in the photos, but when taking into
consideration the age and mileage of this car, plus the fact that
it has never seen a restoration, the condition is impressive
overall. PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: This Cougar received a repaint
in its original color many years ago, and while the paint is
showing its age on the top side of the car, the sides show that
this was a paint job done well when fresh. It currently presents in
good driver condition. INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The interior is
the original black vinyl that is looking surprisingly good for its
age! Though some wear is expected, there are only two notable tears
as seen in the photos which is quite impressive for an original
vehicle this age. The seat condition coupled with the very
presentable plastic and dash conditions shows the care this car has
received by its original (and still current) owner over the years.
This car has been loved! MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Developed as the
Mercury counterpart to the legendary Mustang, it would be almost
disappointing if this little Cougar didn't have a 289V8 under the
hood. Though this Cougar lacks options such as A/C, power steering,
and power brakes, the 289V8 is a box that was ticked! Per the
original owner, the 289 was replaced with a new shortblock in the
late 1970s after the original engine failed. WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT
THIS CAR: The overall originality and known ownership history! This
is a car you just don't see in this kind of survivor condition
anymore. WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR: Though this Cougar
remains unrestored to this day, it isn't 100% factory original,
because it has been driven and enjoyed on a regular basis since it
was new. If you're looking for a super low-mileage example with all
OEM Ford parts, this isn't it. DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? The brake
lights are not currently operational, however the sequential
signals do work! WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR? Survivor cars
like this can be tough to make a decision on what to do with,
especially a one-owner example like this. Sort it out and drive it
as-is? Use it as a base for a full restoration? The choice is
yours! No matter what you have in mind, this Cougar could be a
great option! Contact Rare Rides Company at 980-306-8100 or
