1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 For Sale
This 1969 Mercury Cougar presents well as a lightly updated and largely original example, showing a believed-original 48,000 miles on the odometer. Under the hood sits a 351 V8 topped with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and a new intake manifold. An HEI distributor provides modernized ignition, and the engine exhales through long-tube Hooker headers feeding a true dual exhaust system with Flowmaster FX mufflers.
Power is sent through an FMX 3-speed automatic transmission to an 8-inch posi rear end with 3.25 gearing. The suspension combines front coilovers with rear leaf springs and recently replaced rear shocks, giving the car a settled and confident ride. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums. A set of new tires is mounted on period-appropriate 14-inch Cragar S/S wheels.
The exterior retains the classic Cougar profile, complemented by a newer black vinyl top that remains in great shape. Inside, the front seats have been freshly reupholstered, and a new dash pad has been installed. The instrument cluster has been updated with LED lighting for improved visibility. Vintage Air A/C components are included; the system is partially installed.
Overall, this Cougar blends originality with thoughtful upgrades, maintaining the look and character of Mercury's late-'60s personal performance coupe with added drivability enhancements.
