1968 Mercury Cougar Hardtop Coupe

    1968 Mercury Cougar Navigation
    This 1968.5 Mercury Cougar has a 428 CJ RAM AIR engine, an automatic gearbox, and is finished in Onyx black. It is one of the rarest and nicest Cougars in the world. It has a race history that makes it even more unique and special. It was raced by John Elliot and tuned by Barry Poole. They were given the nickname, 'The Boarder Bandit', because of all the US race titles they won and took back to Canada. The 'Boarder Bandits' won the 1968 Stock Eliminator Class with this car. It was inducted into the Canadian Motor Sports Hall of Fame in 1999. This Cougar is fully documented with everything imaginable; has original owners cards, Marti Auto Report documenting the car as 1 of 1, original invoice, reproduction window sticker, all receipts and photos of the restoration, complete part's break down, photo of the car on the race track in 1968, an article in Ford Mustang Magazine and featured on Speedvision. The car raced until 1974 and then parked until the previous owner recently discovered it. It took three years to complete the nut-and-bolt restoration which brought it back to concours quality. With the limited availability of reproduction parts, it was restored using almost all NOS parts. It has traveled a mere 34 miles since it was completed.
