The 1968 Mercury Cougar GT-E 427 is like the mullet of the classic car world—business up front, party under the hood! With its sleek lines and hidden headlights, this feline rides in style, but just wait until you hear the roar of that 427 engine. It’s like a lion’s growl that says, “I may look classy, but I’m here to have fun.” Whether you’re cruising down the boulevard or leaving others in the dust, this Cougar is the perfect blend of elegance and raw power—like James Bond meets Evel Knievel.

Special ordered a 1970 Cougar XR-7 with a 428CJ, close ratio Nascar 4-speed, and 3.50 rear end. Engine package used the “shaker-hood scoop”, but I wanted a clean “sleeper” so I had it factory ordered with the standard hood. Gas lines in the ’70s with a 10mpg car…bad timing!
