1970 Mercury Cougar Coupe Blue base

1970 Mercury Cougar base

This 1970 Mercury Cougar is a must-have for any collector or enthusiast. With its clean title and 4000 miles on drivetrain and approximately 62,000 over its life, this vehicle has been well-maintained and is ready for display. The blue color adds to its appeal, making it a standout at any car show. The owner has updated the exterior, interior and drivetrain, ensuring that this vehicle is not only stylish but also practical. Whether you're looking to add to your collection or simply want to restore this classic car, this 1970 Mercury Cougar is a great choice. The intention of this build was to have a car that can be daily driven, take my 3 small children to school but also go to the track for some fun, not just a straight line but a true track car. The motor was built to last and is designed to be fully utilized at the 4000-5800 rpm range. 5th gear at 80mph is only 2300rpm. But she’s quick of the line with an amazing Tremec TKX. I know you will enjoy this beautiful 1970 mercury cougar. Having a balance of classic American Muscle with a modern Restomod twist. A quick change to a factory style wheel and swapping in the included factory seats will leave non the wiser that you have a monster of a car shrouded in nostalgia. Sincerely. Richard
