For Sale: 1967 Mercury Cougar in Kentwood, Michigan

1967 would be the first year for the Mercury Cougar and with sales far exceeding expectations would make it a pretty instant hit, in fact, The cougar would account for nearly 40% of the entire Lincoln-Mercury division that year. Only V8's were offered this year with a standard 289 and the 390 Cubic inch option that would put out an impressive 320 HP. It would also be Motor Trends "Car of the Year". This particular car is a 390 optioned car mated to a floor shift 3-speed. It would also be ordered radio delete as this car was sold new to a farmer in Winipeg, Canada where there were no radio stations to be had. The car was in storage for many years until it came out and went to a Ford dealer for service. At that time the car was purchased by a doctor in 1992 and would be mechanically gone through and restored and would be used sparingly post 1996. The car came to the states in 2006 and would change hands one more time from what we can gather. There is some surface rust on the underside as that was never touched during restoration. It looks like paint and interior were done but the rest of the car looks to be mostly original. There appears to be no major rust or rot, the paint still shines up nicely, the car starts nicely and goes down the road really nice. We welcome and questions or inspections of the car.
