1967 Mercury Cougar XR-7

owned by Rick Ambrose

"Thought you might be able to make use of a few pix of my 1967 Cougar XR-7.  The car has low miles, compared to the space shuttle - 238,000 to be exact, and I am the second owner.  I purchased it last year after swearing for 40 years that one day - if ever found a dark green with saddle XR-7 w/o a vinyl top in near showroom stock condition, I'd grab it. It gets compliments everywhere it goes.   An illustrated article
that shows all the design studies that led to the 1967 Cougar is below.  Fitting for the 40th anniversary! Attached are two documents some may find interesting - the original MSRP and the purchase agreement. The first owner kept this car for over 38 years! A California car all its life - it now has an unbelievable 230,000 miles on it...and looks and drives likes it's just a few years old."
