1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 powered by a 351 cubic-inch Windsor V8 paired with an FMX automatic transmission. This example shows approximately 75,000 original miles and remains largely original, with the exception of a recently replaced fuel tank. It rides on a 2.75 rear axle ratio and stops confidently with factory front disc brakes and rear drums.
As the premium trim level for the Cougar lineup, the XR7 distinguished itself with a more luxurious and driver-focused interior. This car features the correct leather seating surfaces, woodgrain dashboard and door panel accents, and the XR7-exclusive full gauge cluster that includes both a tachometer and clock - equipment not found on the base model.
A well-preserved example of Mercury's stylish pony car, this Cougar retains its period charm and mechanical originality, presenting an opportunity to enjoy a genuine survivor from the golden era of American muscle.
