The 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 is powered by a 428ci Cobra Jet engine
paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. It was originally
ordered as a Ford Home Office Reserve vehicle. Its factory
equipment includes 3.50 posi-traction, power steering and power
front disc brakes, along with power ventilation, which was ordered
on only 850 cars. The chassis and body received a comprehensive
two-year restoration, completed with guidance from Bob Perkins of
Wisconsin, and returned to factory-correct specifications with a
laser-straight body. Exterior features include its original
understated appearance without 428 Cobra Jet markings, retaining
the intended sleeper configuration. Interior components include the
XR7 leather upholstery, console, tinted glass and AM/FM stereo, all
restored to factory-correct standards. This vehicle represents one
of 32 Q-Code 4-speed Cougars built and was used as a 428 CJ test
car during its Home Office Reserve service.
