1969 Mercury Cougar XR7

The third year of production for the Mercury Cougar, this 1969 XR7 brought several new additions to the Cougar lineup. The grille switched from vertical bars to horizontal bars. Sequential tail lights still spanned the entire rear of the car and retained vertical chrome dividers, but were now concave rather than convex. Body sides now featured a prominent line that swept downward from the nose to just ahead of the rear wheel wells. A new performance package appeared. This Cougar XR7 engine packs a 250-horsepower 351 Windsor. A black vinyl roof matches the black paint. The Dark Red Leather seats accents the Cougar's classy understated appearance. The rest of the options are what you would expect to find in Mercury's finest luxury muscle car: Color keyed carpet & mats, Wide Oval tires, Sports Console with Clock, Power Front Disc Brakes, Power Steering, Tilt-Away Steering Wheel, Whisper-Aire Air Conditioning, AM/FM Stereo Radio, and Deluxe Belts with warning light. Under the hood was the ample 351 Windsor sending power to an FMX Select Shift automatic. Out back, a 3.00 Conventional axle puts the power to the ground. An absolute thrill to cruise around town. This Cougar will also be a stunning showcase at any event or photoshoot. Weddings, websites, car dealers, movies/TV, special events....you name it and this black beauty will be the show-stopper - guaranteed!
