1967 Mercury Cougar XR7

A 1967 Mercury Cougar XR7. 302 V8, C4, Aluminum Heads, Roller Rockers, Roller Cam, 4V, AC, PS, PB. Restoration was completed in 2006. Originally purchased in Ontario California. Purchased from Weber & Cooper Lincoln/Mercury in late 1967. I purchased the car in 1988 and drove it for a few years. Full restoration started in 1994. Now it isa weekend and summer day recreational driver. This video was taken using a digital still camera so the quality is not as good as I had hoped for.

I bought a xr7 cluster for my 1967 cougar can anyone tell me where can I connect the rpm wires from the xr7 cluster

@510pancho. If your Cougar is a standard Cougar you will not be able to use the XR7 cluster without rewiring your car with the XR7 wiring harness. It is a big job.

what shade of white is that?

[c7xr7]

@northportmarine27 - It is called "Polar White" when applied to a Mercury vehicle and the same color is called "Wimbledon White" when on a Ford. Same color different name. It is a kind of creamy white color.

Is it a stock motor? Not saying original, but is it a cougar motor?

[c7xr7]

@legosrule111 - yes.

I never raced it nor timed it on the 1/8 or 1/4 mile. It does fine for cruising and will run all day on the highway getting 20+ mpg with the AOD transmission. Unfortunately it does require 92 and better octane.
