1969 Mercury Cougar
View Description
Mercury entered the pony car scene with the new Cougar in 1967 and it ranked high in looks and performance. Bridging the gap between the sporty Mustang and luxurious Thunderbirds, the Cougar was received well among buyers who were seeking a happy medium. 1969 saw the Cougar now offering a convertible top, as seen on this bright example. Simply operate the small switch on the center panel above the Kenwood radio and choose to have the top up or down. The automatic black top is complimented by the simulated black leather interior featuring bucket seats and a gorgeous faux walnut dashboard with black faced instruments. A fully functioning clock is neatly placed on the passenger panel and a 6,000 RPM tachometer provides performance information while driving this slick ride. Place your hand comfortably on the T-shifter that smoothly operates the automatic transmission. Powering this strong cat is a 351 CID Windsor V8 engine, new to the engine line up in 1969. Boasting a 250 horsepower, this Cougar roars down the street and has no issues...
