Description

The Mercury Cougar is a nameplate applied to a diverse series of automobiles sold by Mercury from 1967 to 1997 and again from 1999 to 2002. While most examples were produced as two-door coupes at various times throughout its production life the Cougar was also sold as a convertible four-door sedan station wagon and hatchback. Aside from minor grille and taillight changes 1973 would be largely a carryover year for the Cougar but it would mark the last year of the Mustang-based Cougar and the fin...al run of Cougar convertibles; a light blue/white Cougar XR-7 convertible was actually the "last" convertible built by Ford Motor Company (the Mustang convertible was gone upon the '74 model year change to Mustang II and returned for the 1983 models). An automatic transmission and power front disc brakes became standard though a 4-speed manual transmission was still available as a rarely ordered option. Many changes were scheduled for the 1973 models. Power figures continued to change as new federal/EPA regulations began their stranglehold on the V8 engines. The new figures continued to fluctuate but engine options remained unchanged from 1972. The standard engine continued to be the 168 hp 351 Cleveland two-barrel V8. GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1973 Mercury Cougar for consideration.
