For Sale: 1968 Mercury Cougar in Mesa, Arizona

Vehicle Description

This 1968 Mercury Cougar has been transformed into a street-tuned machine, wearing a brilliant white exterior that accentuates every angle. From the razor-sharp grille to the sequential taillights, this Cougar displays predatory elegance. The iconic body lines flow seamlessly into the fastback profile, while custom 17-inch Cragar SS wheels add a modern performance aesthetic. Bright chrome bumpers, dual exhaust tips, and immaculate trim provide the perfect contrast against the white finish.

Inside, the all-black cockpit delivers pure performance-focused design. High-bolstered bucket seats keep occupants anchored through the curves, complemented by a sporty Grant GT steering wheel. The floor-mounted shifter rises from a factory center console, while specially mounted auxiliary gauges monitor vital engine functions. The classic dash houses the original-style AM radio, upgraded with custom rear deck-mounted speakers. Power steering ensures precise control at any speed.

The powerplant is a fresh 302 cubic inch V8 crate motor, mated to a bulletproof C4 3-speed automatic transmission. Performance upgrades include an Edelbrock high-rise intake manifold, MSD electronic ignition for reliable spark, and a modern serpentine belt system driving an electric cooling fan. The chassis has been completely re-engineered with tubular A-arm front suspension, adjustable coilovers at all four corners, and a performance-tuned 3-link rear setup with a Ford 9-inch differential. Four-wheel disc brakes provide exceptional stopping capability, while subframe connectors increase structural rigidity.
