1969 Mercury Cougar For Sale
This 1969 Mercury Cougar Standard Convertible is a rare, one-family-owned classic located in Memphis, Tennessee. Originally custom-ordered and delivered on April 1, 1969, the car has remained with the same family for over 55 years. While it retains its original interior, paint, and 4-speed manual transmission, the factory engine was replaced in 1974 with a 351 Windsor V8, which was fully rebuilt in 2019 to produce approximately 300hp. Well-documented and featuring desirable factory options like air conditioning and heavy-duty suspension, this Cougar comes with over $5,000 in spare parts and a lifetime of documented history.
