’67 Cougar’s made a HUGE splash when they were introduced. They claimed Motor Trends ‘Car of the Year’ edging out the Camaro. The combination of the Mustang’s drivetrain and the Mercury luxury made them stand out. Even the base model Cougar’s carried trim items above the Mustang. Interior trim options with padded dash faces and upgraded courtesy lighting just looked a bit more upscale. A slightly longer wheel-base and longer leaf springs with special insulators made the Cougar ride noticeably nicer too.

This Cougar was built in Ford’s Detroit, Michigan plant on the 21st December 1967 as a 2-dr hardtop coupe and was painted Cardinal Red and featured Red Crinkle vinyl interior and front bucket seats. It was produced as an A-code 289cui-4v V8 engined car with a C4 3-spd console-shift automatic transmission and driven through a conventional rear differential with 3.00: highway gearing, and was first delivered to the Los Angeles, southern California DSO for sale.

This Cougar is super solid and straight, and the paint has been wet-sanded and polished to a mirror finish. The car received a high quality repaint some time ago and it still presents very well. The chrome & bright trim are in nice shape too. Consider this one a sunny day driver that would easily represent at a weekend show/cruise.

Inside the interior has seen its share of care and it shows. From the seat upholstery to the headliner everything in here is in great condition. Even the carpet shows nicely. The dash pad, which is a weak spot for Cougar’s, is in great condition. This car was maintained at a reputable Cougar restoration shop and it shows. Fit & finish is quite nice for the breed.

Under the bonnet, the 289 V8 has been nicely detailed. The factory 289 4-bbl intake is still there and has been upgraded with a Holley carburetor. The factory exhaust manifolds wear a nice coat of cast iron and look new. The valve covers have been upgraded to reproductions of the original dealer optioned finned aluminums. A ‘Pertronix Ignitor’ ignition system has been added for reliability & performance. Firing up the engine it sounds amazing. The Holley choke works properly, so cold starts are a breeze.

Being a garaged car has left this Cougar quite solid. The floors, torque boxes, frame rails and undercarriage look amazing. The only signs of corrosion are a couple of small bubbles at the driver’s front door corner and just in front of the wheelhouse on the driver’s side. These are small and you have to go looking but they are there. The trunk floors are in excellent shape too.

Since Cougar’s had a bit more on the luxury side, they had a bit more complex systems like sequential taillights and vacuum operated headlights for example. These two items are generally the breeds achilles heel, but thankfully both work nicely which is a testament to the care and condition of this car.

Overall, a lovely example of this inaugural 1st year model of the Cougar!

Please note: This Cougar is situated in the Pacific North-West of the US, with a clear title and is available for immediate import into Australia. This price is an ALL-INCLUSIVE landed price in Australia incl GST.
