This 1968 Mercury Cougar Dan Gurney Special blends classic elegance with small block performance. Under the hood is a reliable Ford 302 V8 paired with a C4 automatic transmission and a Ford 8" rear end featuring a 3.00 gear ratio. It's equipped with air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes for a comfortable driving experience, while front disc brakes add confident stopping power. The Motorcraft 4-barrel carburetor, Flamethrower coil, and aluminum radiator with electric fan boost efficiency. Styled with black vinyl interior, 15" chrome Mustang wheels, and a green exterior with matching vinyl top, this Cougar is a clean, vintage cruiser.
Dan Gurney, an iconic American racer and team owner, played a pivotal role in introducing the Mercury Cougar to the world of motorsports during the late 1960s. In 1967, Ford's Mercury division enlisted Gurney's All American Racers (AAR) team to campaign the new Cougar in the SCCA Trans-American Championship. Partnering with fellow driver Parnelli Jones, Gurney helped establish the Cougar as a competitive force against the dominant Ford Mustangs and Chevrolet Camaros. Though the Cougars only raced for one full season in Trans-Am, Gurney's involvement lent credibility and excitement to Mercury's performance image, cementing the Cougar's place in American racing history.
