1969 mercury cougar - bellevue, wapark place ltdbellevue, wa 98005ph: 4255621000web: n/aoptions:description:this 1969 mercury cougar convertible is an eye-catching classic drop-top that is a very nicely restored example. Finished in mile-deep red metallic with white soft top and white interior - a great looking car that has been pampered its entire life. It is powered by a 351-cubic inch v8 engine with automatic trans. Odometer shows 55,102 (believed accurate and correct). Power softtop with boot cover, hide-away headlights, sequential turn signals, center console, power brakes. '69 was the first year for drop-top cougars. The grille switched from vertical bars to horizontal bars. Tail lights still spanned the entire rear of the car and retained vertical chrome dividers, but were now concave rather than convex. Body sides now featured a prominent line that swept downward from the nose to just ahead of the rear wheel wells. The cougar certainly has all the right muscle car details for the era, and it walks with big cat swagger. The styling is mustang-sized, but it's a little more sophisticated - from the subtle body crease running from the front fender, to the rear wheel opening, to the hidden headlights that were definitely more lincoln than ford. A few extra dollops of chrome, including the gorgeous sequential taillights with their chrome surrounds, and this car manages to look both sporting and elegant at the same time. The factory built these comfortable buckets with headrests, and it feels like 1969 all over again thanks to a center console, three-spoke steering wheel, round gauges, and that v8 engine's rumble -- it's the perfect blend of luxury and performance. Power for the big cat comes from a 351 cubic-inch v8, which is a perfect fit in the cougar's engine bay and gives the car great performance without the big block weight. The presentation is quite stock with the big blue air cleaner sitting on top of the big blue block. Underneath, the chassis is clean and well-maintained, with a great-sounding dual exhaust system whose tips are just barely visible beneath the rear valence -- again, emphasizing the cougar's subtle muscularity. This gorgeous machine is ready to be cruised or shown and does not disappoint! Any 1969 cougar is becoming an increasingly rare sight, but a convertible 1969 cougar in this fine example's excellent overall condition is the find of a lifetime. Do not miss the opportunity to acquire this truly investment grade automobile.
