1968 XR-7 mercury cougar

This mercury cougar is in my great grandfathers garage. It is covered with tarp a lot of heavy tools and other heavy things. This is the first generation mercury cougar. It’s great for just cruising around. My family still has this in there garage to this day. This is also very rare. Price is $30,000.

Interior

Mercury Cougars have very good seating. The interior range from black to white and just about every color in the rainbow. There were also different materials used in the cars with variations in those materials. There are even some years that had patterns and other cool things. The mercury cougar also has a custom made steering wheel.

Engine

This car has 205 hp v8 engine. On this engine it has an oil cooler, heavy duty connecting rods, ram-air induction, and a 4-barrel carburetor. At the test track in GT2, the Cougar got up to about 140 mph, then struggled to make its 153.46 mph top speed. A 289 cu in 4.7 L V8 was offered with either a two-barrel 200 hp 149 kW 203 PS or a four-barrel carburetor 225 hp. The video below can show you how loud it is.
