Only 256 GT-E models were ever produced, and this particular car is one of just 134 finished in the striking Cardinal Red color. Even more impressively, it's one of only 37 GT-Es equipped with the powerful 428ci Cobra Jet engine, a feature that makes it a true collector's gem. With only nine of these Cobra Jet-equipped Cougars known to exist today, this car is a standout in any collection.  Under the hood, this Cougar XR-7 GT-E houses the legendary 428 cubic inch Cobra Jet V8 engine, rated at 335 horsepower. This engine was one of the most potent powerplants offered by Mercury at the time, providing exhilarating performance that placed the Cougar firmly in the muscle car territory. The engine is mated to a C6 automatic transmission, known for its durability and smooth shifting, ensuring that the power is delivered efficiently to the rear wheels.  The exterior of this Cougar XR-7 GT-E is finished in a vibrant Cardinal Red, a color that not only enhances its muscular lines but also highlights its rarity. The black interior provides a striking contrast, creating a classic and aggressive look that was highly sought after in the late 1960s. The XR-7 package added a touch of luxury to the Cougar, with features such as wood-grain interior accents, leather-trimmed seats, and a unique dashboard design that set it apart from the standard models.  This particular Cougar XR-7 GT-E has been meticulously maintained, with a single owner for the past 37 years. Such long-term ownership is a testament to the care and dedication that has been invested in preserving this rare muscle car. With 71,000 miles shown on the odometer, the car has been driven sparingly, ensuring that it remains in excellent condition both mechanically and cosmetically.  The GT-E package was a special offering from Mercury, designed to give the Cougar a more aggressive stance and enhanced performance capabilities. In addition to the powerful Cobra Jet engine, the GT-E models featured a unique grille design, hidden headlamps, and dual exhausts with chrome tips. These distinctive features, combined with the rarity of the GT-E package, make this Cougar a highly desirable collector's item.  In conclusion, the 1968 Mercury Cougar XR-7 GT-E is not just a car; it's a piece of automotive history. With its rarity, powerful Cobra Jet engine, and striking color combination, it represents the pinnacle of Mercury's performance offerings in the late 1960s. Whether as a showpiece or a treasured part of a private collection, this Cougar stands as a testament to the golden age of American muscle cars.

Meteor

This 1950 Mercury Meteor has a very cool/rear history.  Plus, its desirability is taken up a notch with the right hot rod details.  So if you're looking for a distinct Flathead V8 cruiser, this one should be at the top of your list.  Not quite sure you've even seen this car before? Well, there's a good reason.  This isn't as much a Mercury Meteor as it is a Meteor sold through Mercury dealerships.  Much like GM's pre-war sub-brands where Cadillac had Lasalle and Oakland had Pontiac, Canadian Mercury dealers had Meteors to sell.  So when you are looking at a short-lived sub-brand made exclusively for Canada, you can start to understand the level of rarity here.  The full story on a car like this is that it shares much of the styling with the Ford Tudor to give Mercury a bit more of a mainstream offering because often at this time there would be a Mercury dealer in town but not a Ford one.  Still, the Meteor kept the more unique and premium Mercury style in key places like the front bumper and grille. This car has the right vintage look with the maroon main color, white roof, full-length trim, and chrome bumpers all looking complete with just the right amount of maturity.  But you'll also notice a light metallic in the maroon.  It's part of the right hot rod feeling in this car.   After all, the '50 Ford loves some street machine style, and so this one gets the right period-correct updates, too.  The half-chrome headlights, windshield sunshade, dual spotlights, blue-dot tail lights, and dual exhaust tips are classic Ford V8 fun.  And while there are plenty of upgraded details, we also like how much this one appreciates its rare vintage style.  You see it in the details, like the distinct Meteor rear badge and correct Meteor hub caps.    The interior has even more pure classic charm.  The two rows of bench seats with striped cloth upholstery are a great vintage Ford piece.  The clean dash, detailed door panels, and large ivory steering wheel are all part of this time capsule feeling.  So while you may decide to update some things, we already like it because this is for lovers of vintage details.  It gives you everything from the working dome light to a working AM radio.  Under the hood is Ford's famous flathead V8.  This 239 cubic-inch version seems like the right one here because, just like this Meteor, it also shares a history with both Ford and Mercury.  It's all about having a tidy and vintage style.  This V8 fires up nicely, and the dual exhaust gives you a good flathead tune. Plus, the column-shifted three-speed manual transmission lets you control that soundtrack and the V8 power.  The sale comes complete with an owner's manual and service manuals.  This is the fun of a classic shoebox Ford with the styling and history they never expected.  Call today!!!
