1967 Mercury Cougar

Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is happy to be able to present this gorgeous 1967 Mercury Cougar. The Cougar was the most successful model launch in the history of Mercury and it was named Car of The Year by Motor Trend magazine beating out the Chevrolet Camaro Ford Thunderbird and Cadillac Eldorado. This example is finished in a beautiful Limetruce green with a very nice black vinyl interior low back buckets an aftermarket Grant woodgrain steering wheel and a burled wood-veneer dash all showing very nicely. Under the hood lurks an aftermarket 351 CID Windsor that is set up with an Edelbrock aluminum intake a Holley carb headers and some sharp looking brushed aluminum & black finned Cougar valve covers letting you know that this is not just some base model Cougar! In addition to all that is the T-10 5-speed manual transmission guaranteed to add to the excitement of driving this lovely cat around town. The Cougar was originally built on the Mustang chassis but an additional 2 frame stretch by the boys at Mercury give these Cougars that long sleek look that along with the hideaway headlights has come to signify the distinction of these 1st gen Cougars.
