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.

Under the hood lies an original 302ci V8 engine, which has undergone a recent oil change. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission. Up front features independent suspension with coil springs, while out back are leaf springs with a live rear axle. Stopping power is via front disc brakes, coupled with drums at the rear.
The mere mention of muscle cars from the 60s instantly takes you back to Ford Mustangs and Chevrolet Camaros.

Look no further than this 1969 Mercury Cougar we have today. With a reported 40,000 miles on the clock, this classic muscle car appears to be a factory-clean example that is guaranteed to turn heads and spark conversation at your local car meet.
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.
Mercury is another great American automotive name that has fallen by the wayside. Founded by Edsel Ford in 1938, it was intended to sit between the Ford and Lincoln brands. By 2011, the brand was defunct, but there's no need to shed tears because along the way, Mercury gave us some greats. One of those was the Cougar. It straddled the lines of a pony car and a personal luxury car. And that's why, if you're a Cougar or Mercury fan, this first-generation 1968 Mercury Cougar will be of particular interest. The car has done a tad over 100,000 miles, highlighting the fact that it's meant to be driven. However, these cars are sturdy and reliable, so you need not be apprehensive at its six-figure mileage. The current owner reports that it's received new tires and an oil change, too, further easing any concerns you may have. Let us tell you more about this piece of Sixties history.
Mercury is an American automaker that has long since been mothballed. But the storied brand has been pivotal in the development of America's automotive landscape. The brand was sat between Ford's mainstream lineup and the more luxurious offerings of Lincoln, while the Town Sedan was a medium-priced entrant to the lineup. It was the mid-market family car of its day, and offered a four door sedan in a conventional yet timeless design. Our featured car has reportedly been meticulously restored and features a host of new components that should ensure trouble-free running for many more years to come. This 1939 Mercury Town Sedan features a 350 cubic inch V8 engine, an automatic transmission, and a reported 55,000 miles on the odometer.
Modeled straight after a concept car, Larry Shinoda’s Mako Shark III to be precise, the C3 or third-gen Corvette stunned America when it hit the stands in 1968. Here was a car that traded the C2’s dainty looks for something truly muscular and futuristic. No surprise, then, that a C3 Corvette is on many a petrolhead’s list of ultimate must-haves. Therefore, we can fulfill one person’s dream, by offering this 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray for sale. With a reported 18,559 original miles, this car is truly a rare fish to catch.
With Jaguar Cars recently rebranding to mixed reactions from auto enthusiasts, it’s a great time to remind ourselves of their greatest hits from the past. One of these is the XJS grand tourer. Produced between 1975 and 1996, the XJS is widely regarded as one of the most iconic Jags ever made. Its flying buttresses and grunty V12 engine all make for a superb driving experience, and one heck of a weekend cruiser. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 1992 Jaguar XJS V12. The car has covered 94,231 miles so far, and has reportedly undergone some recent maintenance.
Chevy’s fourth generation Corvette ran between 1984 and 1996, and was responsible for a major shift in America’s favorite sports car’s persona. The Corvette gained new, angular styling, a digital-style dashboard, more power, and enhanced handling. Mercifully, the much-loved pop-up headlamps were retained. Then, a high-performance variant called the ZR1 was introduced in 1990. The ZR1 drew heavily from Britain’s Lotus sports car maker. Enhancements included a new LT5 V8 engine, larger brakes and sportier suspension tuning. This makes the fourth-generation ZR1 one of the most sought-after neo-classic Corvettes. Here’s a great example up for grabs right now, a 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 69,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a rebuilt engine, while all info is as reported by the current owner.
