Description
A great cougar! Terrific color combination with all the
right options, Inverness Green with saddle interior. No vinyl top and no 68
side markers makes the 67 cougar’s clean profile my favorite car design. Options include the XR-7 package, A code 4bbl
289 with a C4 automatic rebuilt as well just last year. Power
steering, power disc brakes, and working air conditioning round out the factory
options on this classic cougar.
I searched for several years to find this car with all the right options and color combination. I have enjoyed this car for the last 3 years, but it is time for it to find a new home. I purchased a 1970 428CJ Eliminator last year and there is not room or time to enjoy them all so this one must find a new cougar lover to enjoy her. This car underwent a considerable restoration in the 90s while in Texas. A prior owner left documentation of a $20,000 restoration, a considerable sum for a restoration 20 years ago. I purchased the car from a collector in Virginia who owned it for 10 years and was thinning his herd.
Currently the car is running a 500 cfm Edelbrock carburetor. I find it delivers a noticeable performance improvement over the autolite 4100 as well as better cold weather starting for my taste. I have the correct original autolite as well. The new owner can chose which one to drive home with. I am happy to switch it back.
The engine is rebuilt to stock specifications. It runs smooth and pulls strong, but has no hot cam or other performance modifications. I had the transmission rebuilt last year, found the reverse band had snapped.
The car has some tasteful suspension modifications that make it much more drivable. A 1 inch front sway bar, 1” drop front springs, KYB shocks, and an export brace give the front end a stability that cannot be beat and without a harsh ride. When viewing the video, watch how little sway the car displays driving up and down the winding mountain road (starting after minute 18 in the video).
