The Overview
The 1967 Mercury Cougar was introduced as a more refined, upscale sibling to the Ford Mustang, offering a longer wheelbase, hidden headlights, and premium interior appointments. As Mercury’s first pony car, the Cougar found favor with enthusiasts looking for classic muscle car styling paired with a more mature and luxurious feel. The design was distinctly elegant, characterized by its signature grille with concealed headlights, sculpted body lines, and a well-appointed cabin.

The example offered here is a 1967 Mercury Cougar finished in a striking red exterior over a matching interior and has just 34,175 miles from new. It features a V8 engine mated to an automatic transmission, and during its recent restoration, a number of thoughtful enhancements were made. These include the addition of a Noblebrock suction spider and a Holley carburetor to improve drivability and performance while staying true to the car’s vintage identity.

To preserve the period-correct appearance with a touch of custom flair, the engine compartment was painted in body color rather than traditional black. Inside, the original steering wheel has been professionally re-covered in leather, elevating the tactile quality of the driver interface, and a retro-style radio was installed, providing modern convenience without compromising the car’s classic aesthetic.

Condition Overview
This Cougar presents beautifully today, having benefited from a careful and respectful restoration. The exterior red paint shows strong color depth and consistency throughout, complemented by excellent trim and glass. The body is straight, and panel fitment appears correct.

Inside, the cabin has been preserved with originality in mind. The re-covered leather steering wheel adds a luxurious feel, and the retro-design radio integrates seamlessly into the dash. The seats, carpets, and interior panels remain in very good condition overall, showing only light signs of use consistent with the mileage.

Mechanically, the car is strong, thanks in part to the upgraded carburetion and intake components. The engine starts with ease and delivers smooth, reliable power through the automatic transmission. The braking system remains original, featuring factory drum brakes at all four corners, providing an authentic driving feel while maintaining the Cougar’s period character.

Driving Experience
On the road, the 1967 Cougar delivers a composed, smooth ride with the kind of understated performance that made it a standout alternative to the Mustang. The V8 engine delivers classic American muscle car torque, while the automatic transmission provides ease of use. The combination of restored originality and tasteful upgrades results in a well-rounded example, ideal for weekend drives, classic car gatherings, or continued preservation.

As It Sits
This 1967 Mercury Cougar stands as a beautifully restored example with just over 34,000 miles from new, carefully balanced between period authenticity and practical enhancements. It remains a striking and collectible icon from the golden age of American motoring, ready to be shown, driven, and enjoyed.
