For Sale: 1968 Mercury Cougar in Kentwood, Michigan

GR Auto Gallery is excited to present this 1968 Mercury Cougar finished in Saxony Yellow over a Brown leather interior. This first generation Cougar represents Mercury's more refined take on the pony car formula, blending Mustang-based performance with a more upscale and mature design. The long hood, hidden headlights, and clean body lines give it a distinctive presence, while the Saxony Yellow paint adds a period correct pop of color that fits the era perfectly.

Power comes from a 302 cubic inch V8 paired with a C4 automatic transmission. The engine was fully rebuilt in 2025 and has just 200 miles since completion, offering fresh performance and renewed reliability. This setup delivers smooth, usable power with classic V8 character, making it an easy and enjoyable cruiser for both local drives and weekend outings. Recent mechanical updates including new rear springs help ensure a comfortable and composed ride.

Inside, the Brown leather interior presents a warm, vintage feel that complements the exterior color well. A wood steering wheel adds a classic touch, while the gauge cluster has been rechromed and polished for a refreshed factory appearance. An upgraded stereo has been installed in a vintage style format, giving improved sound while maintaining the car's original aesthetic. Crank windows keep the cabin simple and true to its late 1960s roots.

The 1968 Cougar stands out as a more refined alternative to the Mustang of its time, offering a slightly more luxurious feel without sacrificing performance. With its fresh engine rebuild, clean presentation, and tasteful updates, this example is a strong representation of Mercury's entry into the pony car era. It is a stylish and enjoyable classic that blends originality with just the right amount of modern refresh.
