1967 Mercury Cougar GT Package for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2) based on 144 votes
Had the car since 1980. Was fully restored about 5 years ago inside and out including engine and drive train. I only put a little over 1000 miles on it. I really can't drive it comfortably anymore. This is a rare car built in Philadelphia Pa. Only 2. 53 of these cars were built that year. The option package that makes it that rare is :It is an XR-7 model. having upgraded trim interior and dash / console option. The  GT option has the high performance 390 4V GT heads. 4 speed close ratio transmission. posi rear. In the 80's when I started the restoration. the 4 piston Kelsey Hayes front disk brakes were troublesome. so I converted the front to a 69 Mustang / Cougar brake system. with proportioning valve. The car hasn't been registered for 2 years. however it has been run and locally driven. and kept on a battery tender. Serious bidders are welcomed to see the car in person. you will notbe dissapointed

Before I got the car. it had already spent 10 years in the North East. There were signs of previous rust repair. I completely dismantled the car and cut and replaced a lot of metal. Floors. trunk. engine compartment. rear quarters. and doors. The rockers and torq box was intact. I'm not a professional welder. but there were numerous complements on how the metal was ground straight after gas welding. Everything that could be disassembled was either repaired or replaced. I have two 3" notebook binders with manual. spec sheets. measurements. calculations and receipts.
The block and head machine work was done by a professional. including the final honing with the  hypereutectic pistons. I assembled and measured all components to specs. I equalized and cc ed the chambers and used that value to calculate the compression ratio. I tried to keep the compression ratio below 10:1. and the car is very streetable. It is cammed up a bit. but still keeps a lopey idle at 650 RPM. The heads were ported. and the intake and exhaust manifolds were matched to the heads. I bought a trans rebuild kit from Dan Williams and did the work myself. I also blue printed the gears. and there is a big difference in  how smooth the shifting is. I did the same thing to the steering box. I had the rear done by a professional.
The body work and paint was done by a professional. I did not keep receipts at that point on.
I wanted to add additional pictures. however. I am limited to 24. I could only add one. and that gives a view of the engine before it was closed up.  
The radio is an AM 8 Track. If the ash tray is opened. there is a 3 mm input jack to connect external music. There is a switch under the dash to switch between AM 8 Track or your device. I added kick panel front speakers. two rear speakers. and a sub-woofer (can be seen in the trunk picture).

Update on Photobucket Pictures



NOTE:The photographs of the engine which was uploaded on 2-5 is incorrect. That is not the engine that is in the car. It is a 427 that I previously worked on. Sorry for the confusion. The same sort of treatment was done on the 390.


It was brought to my attention that the questions asked from the earlier listing did not follow this new listing. There were several questions about confirming the VIN number match between the door tag and  the top of driver frame rail. When I answered those questions. I stated that there are no numbers on the frame rail. Pictures are posted of this area for review in Photo Bucket.  

As mentioned. I had this car for almost 40 years. It was in pretty bad shape when I bought it. At the time of purchase.  I did confirm that the VIN number on the Pennsylvania title. matched the VIN number of the door tag. A picture of the door tag is included in the pictures for review. ThanksMike
