If you were affluent in the Eighties and lived in Miami, you could reach out to the folks over at Classic Motor Carriages (CMC). What they did was take your Eighties car and turn it into a Thirties show car in terms of design, resulting in head-turners even in 2022! As well as dealing with cars from Porsche and Mercedes-Benz, CMC turned their attention to the brand-new Eighties Mercury Cougar, making it look nothing like it did when it rolled off the factory floors. Rumor has it that there were only 50 examples based on the 80s Mercury Cougar platform made. Here’s a 1988 Mercury Cougar Tiffany Coupe courtesy of CMC. Located in Texas this unusual machine has just 47,500 miles run since new according to its current owner.
Whilst Mercury developed the sixth generation Cougar with computer-aided design, this 1988 Mercury Cougar Tiffany Coupe, sporting a modified body in white, and all its bells and whistles which include a twin fog lamps, stainless steel bumpers, running boards and even 4 trumpet horns, doesn't take away every single design feature as upon closer inspection it’s hard to not miss the notchback design of the sixth-generation Cougar. Wire wheels and white-wall tires complete the retro look. The body and exterior features may have been changed but the interior on this 1988 Mercury Cougar Tiffany Coupe is completely original. From the period steering wheel with Cougar insignia which overlooks an uber-cool digital dash to the tan interior and factory cloth seats with electrical adjustment, it’s all sixth generation Cougar. The seller notes that the windows work, and is reported to have fixed the AC as well. You get a Pyle Plus CD/cassette player installed, and the steering wheel sports cruise control buttons as well.
Driving feel was geared more towards a smooth ride in this 1988 Mercury Cougar Tiffany Coupe and the 5.0L V8 Windsor present under the hood does that job quite well. Power is sent to the rear wheels of the car through an automatic gearbox with the gears being chosen through a column styled gearbox. It’s also reported that a new fuel pump has been installed.

The mere mention of muscle cars from the 60s instantly takes you back to Ford Mustangs and Chevrolet Camaros. With their hype and good looks, it's easy to cruise off into the sunset with a Mustang, but what if you wanted a Muscle car from the '60s that sparks conversation and makes you stand out? 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.
Now here’s an interesting little Ford roadster for you open-topped driving fans out there. Built in Broadmeadows in Melbourne, Australia, the Mercury Capri’s third generation was sold between 1991 and 1994. Mercury, a division of Ford, wanted to create something to rival the Toyota MR2 and Mazda MX-5 Miata. The third-generation Capri was the result, and we’ve got one here today. Say hello to this 40,090-mile 1991 Mercury Capri XR2 Turbo from Louisville, Kentucky. With its fizzy turbocharged engine and manual gearbox, it’s quite an interesting proposition to add to your garage.
Hang on…isn’t Capri a Ford model? Well, yes that was the case in many markets outside the United States. But back home in Detroit, Ford had several sub-brands. Mercury was one of them, and in 1970, Capri was too. Initially, it was what was called a captive import that was imported from Ford of Europe and sold merely as a Capri. No Ford or any other parent branding was borne on the car. In 1979, things changed for the second generation of the American Capri. Capri was now a model under Ford’s Mercury division and based on the famous Fox platform. So, it was basically like a Fox Body Mustang with different styling. This generation was made as the Mercury Capri between 1979 and 1986. Today, we’ve got one of these curios in the shape of a Connecticut-residing 1985 Mercury Capri Grand Sport. This 26,000-mile car is up for sale and comes with some neat performance enhancements. We’re told that the car features its original body and paint, and even includes the original booklets with the sale.
