Since September 1999, Street Dreams Texas has been providing
classic cars and trucks to a worldwide audience. This 1970 Mercury
Cougar Convertible is a striking drop-top finished in eye-catching
Competition Orange and backed by a Deluxe Marti Report. Combining
classic Cougar styling with desirable options, this is the kind of
cruiser that turns heads wherever it goes. Power comes from the
H-code 351 Windsor V8, now breathing through an upgraded 4-barrel
carburetor. The engine bay is nicely dressed with a chrome air
cleaner and Edelbrock chrome valve covers, while the dual H-pipe
exhaust gives this Cougar the proper muscle car soundtrack. The
engine was rebuilt in 2016 according to receipts from the current
longtime owner, adding peace of mind to the driving experience.
Power is routed through the smooth-shifting 3-speed automatic
transmission and a durable Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.00 gearing.
This Cougar's exterior is loaded with desirable visual upgrades
including the factory-style hood scoop, chin spoiler, rear deck
spoiler, and iconic hide-away headlights. The Competition Orange
paint pairs beautifully with the white power convertible top,
creating a bold and classic color combination. Riding on 15-inch
chrome Magnum 500 wheels, the car has the perfect period-correct
stance. Inside, you'll find White Clarion Knit Décor bucket seats
and a center console with floor shifter, giving the cockpit a
sporty yet upscale feel. Additional comfort and convenience
features include SelectAire air conditioning, power windows, power
steering, power front disc brakes, dash clock, wood-rim steering
wheel, and front sway bar. The white interior still presents nicely
and shows well after careful conditioning, though there are a few
honest signs of age in lower, less visible areas. The bottom edge
of one door panel has a split, and the lower driver-side under-dash
panel is brittle with a small missing piece near the door. We
previously sold this Cougar to the current owner many years ago,
and it has clearly been cared for and maintained during his
stewardship, with multiple service receipts included. Street Dreams
Texas offers worldwide delivery, insurance, and financing options.
