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.

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.

This 1965 second-generation Mercury Comet blends authentic heritage with a purposeful, road-legal drag racing presence. Originally built on Ford’s proven platform, it has retained its distinctive charm and character, enhanced by carefully hand-painted graphics and the natural patina of time. When new, this Comet was campaigned in stock class throughout the Southwest in its 289/225 hp configuration, establishing a proven competition pedigree. Its most recent engine build was completed in 2015 at the renowned SoCal Speed Shop by Jimmy Shine, whose signature remains on the dash.

It reportedly handles well on the open road, runs cool, and maintains solid oil pressure, making it equally enjoyable for cruising or preserving as a piece of racing history. This is a car ready to be driven, appreciated, and kept for years to come.
Mercury, one of Ford’s key divisions, occupied the sweet spot between Ford’s mainstream appeal and Lincoln’s luxury prestige. Established in 1938, the marque earned a loyal following before being discontinued in 2011. For many, Mercury cars evoke fond memories—particularly from the Fifties through the Seventies. Among its notable models, the Montclair stood out as a full-size offering, produced initially from 1955 to 1960 and revived from 1964 to 1968. Across five generations—some lasting as little as one model year—the Montclair exemplified the style and comfort of mid-century American motoring. This 1966 Mercury Montclair Hardtop, part of the fifth and final generation, represents the era’s take on entry-level luxury for the family. Showing just 19,000 miles, this Florence-based classic is ideal for seasoned collectors and first-time enthusiasts alike.

Today, why not celebrate that glorious legacy with this 1968 Volkswagen Beetle from Trinity, Florida? The vehicle has 30,606 miles recorded on the odometer, and looks just as good as it left the showroom floor in 1968.
