still availlabble?
Yeah
The one picture shows 6.5 Litre badging, not GT. Do you have a Marti report that shows it is a GT, or is it actually a 6.5 Litre?
That’s not the case. The 390 GT engine was available as a separate option. It was cheaper than the GT package which included the 390 GT engine. If you got the cheaper version the fender badges simply read “6.5 Litre.”
I might have some interest. I’m looking for a project car, but the only source of body panels I’m aware of are other Cougars so I’d prefer to avoid too much rust.
Is there a way I could see a lot more pics? If a pic included the warranty card/VIN, it’d make a Marti report unnecessary. Ford Mercury Cougar Xr7 - VIN Decoder
Purists think a car should only be restored to original, and that’s not me. But they do seem to be willing to pay the most. I’m more interested in a mild resto-mod to my own tastes, but if that lines up a bit with original spec, it’s a bonus.
