1967 Cougar GT XR7 4 speed value

There’s a Plain Jane no option 68 SB 4spd on consignment nearby for over 30k asking…Since October. Similar quality ATs are going for 20ish. I had rust free xr7gt C6 at my fingertips for 25.

I suppose market price is what you can get for it. Ref the 5 speed conversion on BaT that went nearer 50.

It is an XR7 but not an XR7 GT. You probably won’t see another one.

As xr7g428 noted, there were 708 in that configuration (XR-7 GT 390 4 spd).

Good luck in the purchase.

My ‘67 390 4 spd, 4bbl (plain Jane model, earliy production unit) came with a small block radiator, I had some problems with overheating. It didn’t have a fan shroud either. When I bought the shroud and installed it I found the differnce in the radiator. The shroud, even with a blocking plate to accomidate the size difference, didn’t help much with the heat problems. When it came time to repalce the radiator, with a big block unit, I have had no heat problems since.

The car is worth what someone is willing to pay. Documentation can help a lot, especially when trying to validate originality. Being an XR-7 GT and a 4 speed all add value as well as other options. Nicely restored think you will find $50k is hard to get much above currently. Best to look at recent sales to get an idea of the market. As to the future who knows. I would not recommend buying an old car as an investment.

As said pictures and a Marti report would help to get a better answer. As far as buying a car for restoration being all there, no bad accident damage or rust are major cost savers. Condition of the parts meaning being in good or restorable condition also big cost saver. Getting a car in the best condition and as complete as possible is very important when it comes to cost to restore and how hard or easy it is to get a good result.

I had a 67 390 GT 4sp console a few other options and rust free from the desert west of San Francisco dark green tan interior 4 years of LM service records original drive train and fan shroud one owner running very good and a complete driving car and couldn’t get one person to see it in person, and only one call for questions. I put it on craigs list and it was sold shipped to Germany. All of this took about 10 months.

Desert west of San Francisco?

Is that the Gobi Desert? :wink::laughing:

I wasn’t aware of this before purchasing this particular car but San Francisco has a very mild climate my sister who lived there had no heater or conditioning because of this as you drive east of San Francisco over the Diablo range of mountains the climate becomes arid and cars from that area are generally rust free. I have a car that will be listed here shortly for sale a 67 GT 390 that also would be considered rust free and needing restoration…

I would think a 1967 XR7 GT with a 4 speed in #1 condition would be $50K or even more to the right person. Finding an XR7 from 1967 is much harder than locating a 1968. To find a quality 1967 XR7 is even hard with a 289. The issue that I see is how much would need to be invested to get it to top condition. As some have already mentioned it may take $100K. If you can do most of the work on your own then maybe half that amount. Finding correct date codes is a long process but it can be done. Having a California based Cougar is big plus as issues with rust should be minimal .

Whats the value of one of the original 68 fe Shroud horse hair grade A

Is this car still available?

An assembly line -A go for 1 to 1.5k.

this is crazy. you either want the car or don’t. I waited, thanks to Don Rush, 10yrs to find my car. I wanted a big block 4 Spd car in green.

Finally bought one on here with 43000 miles. dry climate it needed all rubber bushings, suspension etc. paint is ehhh, some primer, has AC and 8 track, poverty caps, non XR7, but is a. true GT with all parts. I paid up because its what I wanted..I will never paint it, its a day 2 muscle car now.

worth every penny to me

A little heartbreaking; but all too true. Even the cruise-ins are starting to show more 80’s era cars, which to me, are “new” cars…..
