1969 Ford Mercury Cougar XR7
|
The Mercury Cougar was introduced in 1967 as the more upscale version of the Ford Mustang. It had more mature styling and upscale interior appointments and rode on a three inch longer wheelbase than the Mustang. Yet despite its greater emphasis on luxury than performance, the Mercury Cougar still managed to make its mark on the American street scene. This
1969
model is in remarkable shape, it has been preserved and is in
incredible condition, I am sure very few out there in this shape.
The car is powered by the highly desirable
390 V8 rated 320 bhp,
this car is fast . This car was purchased by a very good friend and
client of mine for
his wife just to go to local shows. He purchased this car in California
from the original owner, car is
rust free, bondo
free. He ordered have the "original" paint stripped and
professionally repainted base coat/ clear coat, put brand new vinyl top
and many other improvements. Seats are original!!! Car is so
beautiful
and nice, look at the photos and judge for yourself
This
Cougar is not your usual Cougar. What makes it unusual is the
big
block 390 under the hood and the
original 52,000+
miles. The car was purchased from the original owner in
California with the original paint, vinyl roof and leather interior. EXTERIOR The car was painted the original color about a
year ago and the vinyl top was replaced with a factory correct top.
As the pictures show, the car is rust free and straight. All the
bright work is either new (eyebrow moldings, hood and trunk
moldings, etc) or re-chromed (bumpers). This is a beautiful
unmolested example that has been freshened up to do justice to the
care it received through out the years. INTERIOR As you can see the seat, dash, door panels and
headliner are almost immaculate. The AM-FM radio is the original and works
well. The only thing the interior needs is the left door panel elbow
rest and two of the pull handle attachment covers (two are in the
center console and have not been attached). The steering wheel is a rimblow and needs the horn installed. Other than that the wheel is
in good shape. . . but not perfect. The car has the tilt away
steering wheel. ENGINE / MECHANICAL The engine is the original 390
ci 4bbl 320 HP power
plant. To the best of our knowledge it is unmolested. The current
owner has done nothing to it other than start it. The air works
although it doesn't feel as cold as it should. However this is
South Florida and these late 60's airs just don't do very well in
90+ degree weather. It probably is nothing more than low in freon. Things done to the car recently: Replaced the starter, solenoid, ignition
switch, gas tank and fuel pick-up / sending unit. The vehicle is
equipped with the low fuel warning light but unfortunately they
don't make the replacement unit for this set up so the warning light
feature does not work. The carburetor (FOMOCO) was rebuilt and by
the but i am not happy how it's working. But don't misunderstand,
the car has gobs of power and works well. The transmission shifts
well and is untouched (to the best of our knowledge). The same goes
for the rear-end. The works work perfectly. The car stops on a
dime and straight. This car came equipped with the same drive train as
the Mach 1. It's the best of both worlds. . . . the power of the
Mach and the luxury of a big car. |
This is a 37 year old car, even if it looks fantastic keep in mind is old school. Miles were told to be original, and if they are not honestly hard to believe. As any other older collectible some things may have wear, A/C for instance work, but as many muscle cars does not blow as cold as a new Lexus. Headlights vacuum system is weak, needs help to open the headlights. Other miscellaneous might need attention, but as far I could see car is in outstanding shape, please contact us for more info.
This car wont last!
