1969 Mercury Cougar

Thanks for stopping by to take a look at our very cool 1969 Mercury Cougar.  This Cougar is a one owner car that served the family of the original Southern California buyer for many years.  Always a local car, she was rarely even out of the State. This Cougar is very original but carries some modern updates as well.  Let's check it out !

Rarity

Unmolested muscle cars from 1969 are drying up fast!  Often passed down to the kids, they serve as dependable family mascots through generations. Many were raced.  Most did not survive. Five decades down the road, finding a solid survivor can be tough.  We purchased this Cougar from the original California owners and decided upon a sympathetic restoration.  Yes, we did vary from the original color palette. 

Also on the rarity scale is the engine in this Cougar.  Racers and engine builders will tell you that the 1969 351 Windsor engines had a very high nickel content and super strong webbing among a host of other qualities that make it a favorite for high horsepower builds. To the average classic driver, it means a strong, durable engine with great parts availability.

We have the Marti Report.

Inspection

Please come inspect this great car before the listing ends. We are happy to meet you and show her off. The details contained in this listing are based on our review of the vehicle and any errors or omissions are unintentional.  Please keep in mind that this is a 52 year old used car.  It will need periodic attention just as any classic does.  It is not a new car and will not be fresh and perfect like that new soul sucking Camry your Aunt Betty drives.  If that's what you are after, this is not your era, nor your car so please move on to something boring.  Like a Prius.
