It went on to become the only Mercury ever to win the “Motor Trend Car of the Year” title. The Cougar lineup saw eight generations, where the car transformed from a Pony car to a personal luxury coupe. This stunning example of the 1970 Mercury Cougar belongs to the final year of its first generation. It reportedly has 51322 miles on its clock and is currently located in Port Hueneme, California.

$89,999

The 1972 Porsche 911 T Coupe represents one of the most unique and collectible variants of the long-hood 911 lineage. As part of Porsche’s F-Series generation, the 911 T combined lightweight driving dynamics with the company’s proven air-cooled flat-six formula. The 1972 model year is especially significant because it was the only year Porsche fitted the now-famous external oil filler door, known by enthusiasts as the “Ölklappe.” Designed to improve weight distribution by relocating the oil tank ahead of the rear axle, this feature has become one of the most recognizable identifiers of a genuine 1972 911. This example is finished in attractive Albert Blue over a tan interior and shows approximately 76,346 miles.
