1967
Mercury Cougar
For Sale By Owner
Reduced To $15,500.00 For Immediate Sale
|
| |
| This
beautiful car underwent a complete three
year body-off restoration that was completed
in 1994. I had always wanted another ’67
Cougar ever since I sold the one I had driven
in High School in the 1970’s. The extensive
restoration was performed entirely by myself
utilizing ten plus years experience as a
Ford factory trained Heavy Line Mechanic.
The car was then driven for only one year
by a stay-at-home mom to run the kids to
school and go to the store. When a new model
car was purchased for her, this car was
prepared and placed in garaged storage,
and had not been driven or licensed since
1995. The total driven mileage since completion
of the restoration is less than 6,000 miles.
Three months ago I retrieved the car from
storage, however it still remains unregistered
(license is not current) and therefore is
not being driven.

|
| |
| Specifications
are as follows: Original 289 c.i., 4V engine,
floor shift auto transmission, power steering,
power brakes, tilt and swivel steering column,
air conditioning. Restoration was so complete,
that the body was suspended on a rotation
device to allow me standing access to the
underside where fuel and brake lines where
removed, the body stripped, and the underside
repainted the original factory black color.
The top side was repainted factory turquoise
blue with the doors, deck lid, hood, and
fenders painted separately while off the
car. The interior was totally redone with
original quality and type seat covers, head
liner, and carpeting, and then a new white
vinyl top was installed. The exterior of
the engine appears completely stock after
the overhaul, except for a replacement carburetor
(the original carburetor was not capable
of passing today’s Arizona emissions
standards). However, the engine is far from
stock internally. All intake and exhaust
manifold passages and cylinder head runners
were flow tested, ported to equality, and
then all the gas paths were Extrudehoned®
(abrasive flow machined) to a mirror finish.
The mild cam ensures performance but does
not adversely effect idle or emissions.
All parts were blueprinted and balanced
prior to assemble. Wheel dynamometer testing
of completed car recorded 160 hp at the
rear wheels through a highway ratio rear
axle drivetrain. The suspension was completely
new including springs, bushings, grommets,
and gas stabilized shock absorbers. The
new dual exhaust system is of the factory
design. The original factory drum brakes
were converted to disc brakes utilizing
1968 cougar components including the properly
sized master cylinder replacement onto the
vacuum power booster. The original wheels
and wheel covers were replaced with factory
rally spoke chrome wheels with the original
Mercury center caps. The factory AM radio
was replaced with AM/FM, CD player with
100 watt amplifier. |

| This
is an originally purchased Arizona car,
and was driven every day of its life in
our rust free climate. I am the fourth
owner, and knew the third owner, as he was
my friend’s father who drove it daily
to work for several years. I also have the
original owner’s manual and sales documentation
from when the car was first purchased from
a Scottsdale, Arizona Lincoln Mercury dealer
the day before Christmas, in 1967.
