1967 Mercury Cougar xr7 Beautiful 67 Cougar in Inverness Green. Second owners of this car. Original owner had it for 35 years. Had it stripped and painted on the exterior then some interior work. After purchase the engine was replaced with a 92 302 roller motor and c4 transmission. Details of the rebuild and replacement are below. Many updates and parts have been replaced. This car wins awards very frequently when we have it out. It is really only driven on a nice day and usually to a cruise in. Fine print first….. This is a 1967 car. It is not new. It has most of the the mechanics rebuilt or replaced. Known things in need of attention…. Front end. Normal front end rebuild/maintenance is needed such as ball joints tie-rod etc. The choke could use some adjustment, it idles a little high for a bit when started cold.
