The first-generation Mercury Cougar is one of the best ways to experience classic American muscle. Based on the first-generation Ford Mustang, the Cougar presented a different, more European-inspired take on the platform. The Mercury featured hidden headlights and a stretched cabin, making the car three inches longer than the Mustang. It remains a solid choice for anyone considering something different from the norm. Our featured car offered for sale includes the original 302ci V8 engine and has convenience features such as air conditioning and upgraded upholstery. With a reported mileage of 74,710, this maroon red 1968 MY Mercury Cougar is an excellent example of classic pony car.
The exterior of this 1968 MY Mercury Cougar is finished in a striking dark red metallic. The front is dominated by the “electric razor” style grille, with hidden front headlights concealed by vacuum-powered retractable covers. The passenger side of the grille design features a prominent Cougar emblem, with the matching forward-facing Mercury badge present on the driver’s side front wing. The Cougar sits on five-spoke, 14-inch American Racing wheels with reportedly new tires. Inside, the upholstery has been upgraded, with a color-coordinated red theme running throughout. The twin-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a three-binnacle dash with a speedometer on the left and engine temperature, oil level, amperage, and fuel on the right. Between them is an analog clock. Also featured inside is an aux input-capable radio, as well as air conditioning.

Back To The Future Fans, rejoice! We’ve got a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 for sale today. Coming to you in all its resplendent stainless steel glory, this gullwing doored machine rocks just 4,548 miles on the clock! Introduced in 1981 and produced for just two years, the car was the brainchild of John Z. DeLorean. If the name is familiar, he’s one of the men responsible for the Pontiac GTO in the Sixties! DeLorean founded his own company in the early Eighties, asked renowned automotive designer Giorgetto Giugiaro to design the car’s exterior, and went into production. However, various internal and external factors meant that this space-age machine was discontinued by 1983. In total, over 7,500 were made, making this a pretty exclusive machine to own. This car currently resides in Parkland, Florida, and awaits a new owner.
