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.
Exterior and Interior
The first-generation Cougar only came as a hardtop, in contrast to the Mustang's fastback, hardtop, and convertible trio. However, it sported elements like trick hidden headlamps, a sporty rear spoiler, and what designers called, at the time, European styling. You'll get that all with this 1969 Mercury Cougar in a lustrous teal paint scheme. The interior comes to you in shades of green, black and sports wood trim on the dashboard too. You'll note that it's quite spacious, highlighting the Cougar's luxury mien. The car includes a comprehensive gauge pack, a heating and ventilation system, and a push-button radio as amenities. You'll also find a spacious cargo space behind the passenger cabin, and it appears in decent condition given the car's age.
Engine
This 1969 Mercury Cougar packs the original 351ci V8 engine with a 4-barrel carburetor that it left the factory with all those years ago. Drive goes rearwards via a 3-speed automatic gearbox. The car comes with front independent suspension with coil springs, while the rear suspension uses a leaf spring configuration. Braking is via front discs and rear drums. The current owner also tells us that the car has received a recent oil change and rides on new tires.
