Mercury Cougar : Mustang Plus Luxury Equals Cougar
Ranked #3,794 in Cars, #197,311 overall
Mercury Cougar - The Ford Mustang's Luxury Counterpart
The Mercury Cougar was introduced in 1967 as a more luxurious option for people who wanted the engine and other mechanical parts featured in the Ford Mustang. These cars did not look at all like the Ford Mustang, but the first generation Cougars were in fact based off the same platform as the second generation Ford Mustangs.
Along with the base model Mercury Cougar, there was also a XR7 luxury model. For those looking for more performance from their Cougar, both the base and XR7 models had a GT option, which included the 390 engine.
A Mercury Cougar convertible was introduced in 1969. The car was redesigned in 1971, perhaps because Mercury didn't feel like selling anymore of these cars. All kidding aside, the redesigned Cougar was a hideous beast. It looked huge, even though it was slightly smaller than the 1970 model. There was also a very rare engine option on these cars: the Cobra Jet 429.
One very rare and collectible version of the early Mercury Cougars is the Mercury Cougar Eliminator. Some of these have sold at auction for over $100,000.
