1977 Mercury Cougar

The 1970 Mercury Cougar Restomod takes the long-hood, hidden-headlamp attitude of Mercury’s upscale pony car and turns the performance dial far beyond anything offered when new. Showing just 3,509 miles, this build is finished in Metallic Pearl Red over a fully reupholstered Saddle Brown leather interior and centers around a built 572ci V8 with electronic fuel injection, backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The transformation extends well beyond the engine bay, with 4-wheel disc brakes, a custom intake system, Vintage Air climate control, a functional hood scoop, custom leather seating, updated instrumentation, and a substantial high-end audio system. According to the current owner, the Cougar was originally equipped with an M-code 351ci V8, making its evolution into this big-cube restomod all the more dramatic. This is the kind of build that preserves the unmistakable character of a classic Cougar while adding the power, comfort, and detail expected from a thoroughly modernized muscle car.

Mercury was first introduced as a subsidiary division of the Ford Motor Company that bridged the gap between the affordable Ford models and the luxury Lincoln lineup. When Mercury launched the Cougar model, it was supposed to provide a European-styled alternative to the Ford Mustang. 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. If you are looking for a rare classic that will turn heads and spark conversation, this Cougar is for you.

Mercury may be a brand confined to the annals of history, but to many, this storied automaker continues to hold a significant place in enthusiasts’ hearts. The Cougar is one of the brand’s most recognizable models, offered in a variety of body shapes over its lifespan. 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 1972 Mercury Montego MX Brougham sits at the more luxurious end of Mercury’s midsize lineup, blending early-1970s American styling with a comfortable grand-touring character. Showing approximately 79,076 miles, this example pairs its upscale Brougham trim with a 351ci V8, automatic transmission, power steering, power front disc brakes, and air conditioning. Finished in yellow with a white vinyl roof and white interior, it carries the formal look that defined Mercury’s more premium offerings of the period, while features such as the Flight Bench seat, woodgrain interior trim, and Brougham-specific detailing give it plenty of period personality.

Few cars symbolize traditional American custom culture quite like the Mercury Eight, and this 1950 Mercury Eight Coupe is a beautifully executed tribute to the legendary lead sled era. Finished in Maroon over a maroon and gray reupholstered interior, this custom Mercury combines timeless post-war styling with carefully integrated modern upgrades that enhance both drivability and comfort. Featuring a dramatic chopped roofline, lowered stance, upgraded suspension, and modern 10-speed automatic transmission, this coupe delivers classic custom-car presence while offering a far more refined driving experience than a factory-original example. With true mileage unknown, this Mercury stands out as a thoughtfully built street cruiser that perfectly blends vintage style, custom craftsmanship, and modern usability.

Mercury’s Montego lineup of the early 1970s offered buyers a slightly more upscale alternative to Ford’s intermediate offerings while still delivering the same muscular V8 performance and bold styling that defined the era. This 1971 Mercury Montego MX stands out thanks to its custom appearance and unmistakable presence, pairing classic American coupe proportions with period-inspired performance touches. Showing approximately 23,395 miles, this Montego MX benefits from a desirable 351ci Cleveland V8 under the hood, a legendary engine known for its strong torque and durability. With upgrades including aftermarket wheels, a custom paint job, and interior enhancements, this Mercury delivers the kind of vintage cruising experience that continues to attract collectors and enthusiasts alike.

The Mercedes-Benz SL has enjoyed a distinguished place in automotive history, and the R107 generation remains one of the most celebrated luxury roadsters to emerge from Stuttgart. Produced from 1971 through 1989, the R107 became synonymous with sophisticated open-top motoring, exceptional engineering, and the understated elegance that defined Mercedes-Benz during the era. Introduced for the 1986 model year, the 560 SL became the flagship American-market version of the R107, bringing a larger 5.6-liter V8 and further refinements to an already accomplished grand tourer. This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL, showing 65,981 miles, is finished in Arctic White over a Palomino leather interior, complemented by a contrasting Dark Brown convertible soft top. Its factory specification is particularly appealing, featuring a rear spoiler delete that preserves the roadster's clean, classic proportions. Additional highlights include a removable body-color hardtop, 15-inch Mercedes-Benz alloy wheels, automatic climate control, heated exterior mirrors, and a Pioneer audio head unit replacing the original Becker radio. With its elegant color combination, naturally aspirated V8, and timeless R107 styling, this 560 SL offers an inviting opportunity to experience one of Mercedes-Benz's most enduring grand touring roadsters.

The Lincoln Mark VII LSC brought an unexpected dose of performance to the American luxury coupe market during the 1980s, combining the comfort and refinement expected of Lincoln with the same 5.0-liter High Output V8 that powered Ford's celebrated Mustang GT. By 1990, the Mark VII had established itself as a distinctive alternative to European grand touring coupes, offering rear-wheel drive, four-wheel air suspension, and a remarkably well-appointed interior. This 1990 Lincoln Mark VII LSC Special Edition, showing just 47,063 miles, is finished in Garnet Red over Titanium Gray leather and belongs to a particularly limited production group. Reportedly only 3,345 LSC Special Edition examples were produced for 1990, with just 442 sharing this particular paint and trim combination. Its Special Edition appointments, monochromatic exterior styling, distinctive lace-style aluminum wheels, and powerful 5.0-liter V8 make it an appealing example of Lincoln's performance-oriented luxury flagship. With its distinctive specification, low indicated mileage, and documented production figures reported by the seller, this Mark VII deserves attention from collectors and enthusiasts of American luxury automobiles.

The fourth-generation Pontiac Firebird Trans Am arrived during an exciting period for American performance cars, when powerful naturally aspirated V8 engines, rear-wheel drive, and manual transmissions still defined the muscle car experience. By 1997, Pontiac had refined the Trans Am into a formidable competitor, combining the proven 5.7-liter LT1 V8 with distinctive aerodynamic styling and impressive handling capabilities. This 1997 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, showing just 31,092 miles, is finished in Black over a Taupe interior and features the desirable BorgWarner T56 six-speed manual transmission. Its aggressive appearance is highlighted by a Ram Air-style hood with dual scoops, removable glass T-tops, and aftermarket wheels that complement its low-slung profile. The interior has also received several upgrades, including an aftermarket sound system, subwoofer, and JVC touchscreen multimedia receiver with Apple CarPlay connectivity. Combining low indicated mileage, traditional V8 performance, and an engaging manual gearbox, this Trans Am captures the unmistakable character of Pontiac's celebrated 1990s muscle cars.
