The car is finished in blue over black vinyl upholstery and is powered by a replacement 428ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. The car was optioned with the Drag-Pak Package when new, and additional features include power steering and front disc brakes, an AM radio, and high-back front bucket seats. This Cougar is now offered with a build sheet, a window sticker, service records, spare engine components. Cosmetic details include a blacked-out grille, retractable headlight covers, a hood scoop, a front lip spoiler, and a rear wing. Magnum 500-style wheels are fitted with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. The car is equipped with power steering and KYB shocks, and braking is handled by discs up front and drums at the rear. The high-back bucket seats are trimmed in black vinyl, and Cougar-logo floor mats protect the color-coordinated carpeting. The car is also equipped with a Philco AM radio, a floor-mounted shifter, and manually operated windows. Instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. Under 16k miles are shown on the five-digit odometer, with true mileage unknown. The replacement 428ci V8 was installed during prior ownership in place of the factory Q-code 428 V8. Features include a ram air-style air cleaner, finned valve covers, and a dual exhaust system equipped with a crossover pipe. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed C6 automatic transmission, and aftermarket gearing has been fitted to the rear end. The car is equipped with a dual exhaust system, and the seller notes the presence of an exhaust leak.
