Vehicle Description
This 1967 Mercury Cougar, the debut year for the Cougar nameplate,
roars with a fiery red exterior that's impossible to ignore. Black
racing stripes slice across the hood, adding a dash of aggression
to its sleek profile. The iconic hidden headlights, a hallmark of
first-generation Cougars, give this cat a sly, predatory look.
Cragar SS wheels, measuring 17 inches, fill out the wheel wells
with classic muscle car style. Wrapped in brand-new 245/40R17
tires, this Cougar's stance is both menacing and practical, ready
to grip the asphalt with authority.
Slip into the black vinyl bucket seats, and you're transported to
an era of pure American muscle. The interior, while not original,
maintains a period-correct feel with its straightforward design. A
console-mounted shifter for the 3-speed automatic transmission sits
ready at hand, promising effortless cruising. The dash houses
simple, easy-to-read gauges, keeping you informed without
distraction. An AM radio, though currently silent, stands as a
testament to simpler times when the rumble of the engine was all
the music you needed.
Lift the hood to reveal the 289 V8 engine, a powerplant synonymous
with Ford's 1960s performance. This Cougar's engine bay showcases
several upgrades that boost both performance and reliability. An
Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake manifold and four-barrel
carburetor hint at increased breathing capacity. A large aluminum
radiator with an electric fan keeps things cool under pressure.
Power steering ensures this cat is as agile as its namesake. The
dual exhaust system likely gives voice to a satisfying growl,
though it's the acceleration that truly speaks volumes.
