Car Description
1967 Mercury Cougar XR-7 2-Door Hardtop Coupe powered by a 4.7L 289cui V8 Ford Windsor small block engine and driven by a 3-spd Ford C4 console-shift automatic transmission.
For its first two generations, the Cougar was derived from the Ford Mustang which was initially developed as a pony car. Intended for a market position between the Ford Mustang and the Ford Thunderbird, the Cougar was intended as a “plush” pony car. While offering more comfort and features than the Mustang, the model line was tuned for better road manners than the Thunderbird. The Mercury Cougar was introduced by the Lincoln-Mercury division of Ford on September 30, 1966. Far exceeding initial sales projections, the Cougar accounted for nearly 40% of 1967 Lincoln-Mercury sales, and the Cougar received the 1967 ‘Motor Trend Car-of-the-Year’ award (the first Lincoln-Mercury vehicle to do so).
Initially developed as a rebadged version of the Mustang, the 1967 Cougar received its own body design from the ground up, though the popular “long-hood, short-deck” proportions of the Mustang remained. The model line was marketed as having “European” style and features. The first Lincoln-Mercury vehicle with hidden headlamps, the front fascia was distinguished by a split ‘electric shaver’ grille, featuring vertically slatted chrome trim. The rear fascia was styled similar, concealing dark-lens taillamps behind vertically-slatted trim; sequential turn signals were standard (adopting the mechanism from the Thunderbird). The upgrade to the XR-7 brought further European influence; in addition to a (simulated) wood-trim dashboard, full instrumentation (black-face gauges), toggle switches, and an overhead console; if so equipped, the automatic transmission was fitted with a T-handle console shifter. The Cougar was offered with nearly every Mercury option with the sole exception of automatic climate control and power windows.
This XR-7 is super nice with a great colour scheme of medium gold metallic paint & black vinyl roof. It is a very solid car which runs & drives nicely. It features factory air conditioning, power brakes & steering, bucket seats w/ centre console and new custom rims & tyres.
