Description

This 1978 Mercury Cougar is a classic American coupe with plenty of presence. With its big 5.7L V8 engine and auto gearbox, this imported classic offers a unique feel you can't get in newer cars.

One of the standout features is its spacious cabin, comfortably seating six passengers - something rarely found in today's coupes. The interior layout offers generous legroom and width, making it good for longer journeys or when you need to transport several people in comfort.

With its long, low design, this Mercury Cougar comes from when American cars were all about comfort and V8 power. The engine provides plenty of power for easy cruising. Available with new 15x8 15x10 Chrome Smoothies with Galaxy tyres for $1500 (worth $2500) extra otherwise comes with stock wheels in the price

Features:

  • 5.7L V8 petrol engine
  • Automatic transmission
  • Six-seater configuration
  • Classic coupe styling
  • Imported vehicle
  • I'm the first New Zealand owner
  • New Aircond
  • Electric windows
  • electric seats
  • no rust just a few bits of worn out edges on the original paint
  • Just been complied and ready to cruise anywhere in NZ
  • Superclean underneath
  • Fully serviced in NZ and wasn't due since its last service in the USA

If you're looking for a classic American car with character and space to spare, this Mercury Cougar is worth considering. Feel free to get in touch with any questions.
