Description:
Powered by an A-code 289 ci V8 engine, factory rated at 225 horsepower, this Cougar starts and runs beautifully. The car includes its factory smog pump (not installed), and the C4 automatic transmission has been recently serviced with fresh fluid, a new gasket, and a new filter. Additional recent maintenance includes an oil and filter change, new spark plugs, points, condenser, and an air-cleaner element.
The car has a single-outlet exhaust, and a new-old-stock muffler has been installed. This XR-7 is a fine-running example with no known mechanical issues..
The interior is original. The front seats were re-upholstered in high-quality leather, and the headliner was replaced to factory standards. The car is equipped with factory air conditioning, which is in working order, along with power steering, power brakes, a center console, and an eight-track radio.
The interior features a green T-handle shifter, unique to the 1967 Cougar XR-7s, and the instrumentation is mounted in a faux-wood dash fascia. The car retains its factory three-spoke steering wheel and includes a 120-mph speedometer, 6k-rpm tachometer, and a clock mounted in the center stack. The interior is comfortable, tidy, and well-suited for long drives.
Included with the car are the original factory manuals, dealer materials, shop manual, the dealer sales order form, owner’s card, stickers, and more.
This is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved and documented 1967 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Dan Gurney Special with a great history and original California roots.
