The Appeal
The Mercury Cougar was a clever idea: a more spacious, more luxurious version of the proven Mustang. Customers agreed, from autumn 1966 hoovering up the new car in considerable volumes.
Looking at this gorgeous ’67 it is easy to see why. Restored in beautiful Cardinal Red with a black vinyl interior, it is factory correct and in excellent condition.
It is fitted with a 289CI 4.7litre C Code 200bhp V8, perfect for burbling the highways and byways with friends and family.
