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.

Our featured car is a sought-after convertible version with a reportedly new paint job. It also features the desirable 351ci Cleveland V8, paired with an automatic transmission.
The mere mention of muscle cars from the 60s instantly takes you back to Ford Mustangs and Chevrolet Camaros.

The Mercury Cougar has worn many hats. Initially debuting as a more upscale pony car, it has also been a personal luxury car later in its life. Sadly, the name bowed out in 2002 and hasn't been seen since then. That's why vehicles such as this first-generation 1969 Mercury Cougar are important pieces of American history. They also make fine classics for those dipping their toes into the world of Sixties and Seventies cars. What's even more appealing is that this car packs just 41,102 miles and still bears its original engine.
Now here’s an interesting little Ford roadster for you open-topped driving fans out there. Built in Broadmeadows in Melbourne, Australia, the Mercury Capri’s third generation was sold between 1991 and 1994. Mercury, a division of Ford, wanted to create something to rival the Toyota MR2 and Mazda MX-5 Miata. The third-generation Capri was the result, and we’ve got one here today. Say hello to this 40,090-mile 1991 Mercury Capri XR2 Turbo from Louisville, Kentucky. With its fizzy turbocharged engine and manual gearbox, it’s quite an interesting proposition to add to your garage.
Hang on…isn’t Capri a Ford model? Well, yes that was the case in many markets outside the United States. But back home in Detroit, Ford had several sub-brands. Mercury was one of them, and in 1970, Capri was too. Initially, it was what was called a captive import that was imported from Ford of Europe and sold merely as a Capri. No Ford or any other parent branding was borne on the car. In 1979, things changed for the second generation of the American Capri. Capri was now a model under Ford’s Mercury division and based on the famous Fox platform. So, it was basically like a Fox Body Mustang with different styling. This generation was made as the Mercury Capri between 1979 and 1986. Today, we’ve got one of these curios in the shape of a Connecticut-residing 1985 Mercury Capri Grand Sport. This 26,000-mile car is up for sale and comes with some neat performance enhancements. We’re told that the car features its original body and paint, and even includes the original booklets with the sale.
In 1953, Chevrolet introduced a car that would shake up the American sports car market. Yes, the Corvette was born that year. With breathtaking styling by Harley Earl, this iconic sports car initially came with a six-cylinder engine that was definitely unsuitable for such an amazing piece of automotive art and mechanical excellence. So, Chevy rectified the mistake by 1955 with the introduction of the Small-Block V8. Initially displacing 265ci, it grew to a 327ci unit by 1962. That’s what we have in this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, with its 327ci V8 that packs dual quad carburetors and a reported output of 400 horseower. This Washington-based car also comes with its original interior, as well as original Corvette wheels. If you want a special classic Corvette that’s definitely going to be valuable for years to come, talk to us right now.
