This highly original 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 is a classic car lover's dream come true. Finished in a beautiful Light Aqua Blue with a subtle black pinstripe, this Cougar looks ready to prowl the streets. It rides on a set of 14" wheels, wrapped in 205/70R14 tires that provide a perfect period-correct stance. The paint presents well for its age. The chrome bumpers and trim pieces add just the right amount of shine, while the hidden headlights give the front end a sleek, uncluttered appearance.
Inside, the Cougar offers a Light Aqua interior that is both inviting and well-appointed. The original leather-trimmed bucket seats provide a comfortable driving experience, enhanced by a floor shifter that adds a sporty touch. The cabin features a center console for added convenience, and the headliner is neat and intact, contributing to the overall clean look of the interior. The dashboard is adorned with factory tachometer and gauges as well as an original AM radio, blending classic aesthetics with functional simplicity. Air conditioning ensures a pleasant ride, maintaining comfort regardless of the season.
At the core of this Cougar lies a 351 Windsor V8 engine, mated to a 3-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain promises robust performance, complemented by a single 2-barrel carburetor that optimizes fuel delivery. The Ford 9-inch rear axle and independent front suspension with leaf springs in the rear provide a balanced and smooth ride. Equipped with power disc brakes up front and power drum brakes at the rear, this Mercury offers confident stopping power. The dual exhaust system, featuring Xceleraor mufflers, delivers a satisfying growl that hints at the car's potent capabilities.
