This 1968 Mercury Cougar XR-7 7.0-Litre GT-E is one of 256 examples produced for the model year with a 427ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. This Cougar XR-7 GT-E left the factory finished in Cardinal Red over Dark Red Leather upholstery. Equipment includes silver-colored lower trim, dark grille and taillight accents, covered headlights, a hood scoop, power steering, power brakes, and the Super Competition Handling Package. The car was delivered new to Times Square L-M INC of Erie, Pennsylvania , in March 1968. The car is said to have been refurbished under previous ownership. This W-code Cougar GT-E is now offered with an Deluxe Marti report and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name. The car was finished from the factory in Cardinal Red (2008-A) with silver-colored trim on its lower sections. Features include blacked-out grille and taillamp trim, hidden headlights, a simulated hood scoop, chrome bumpers, and quad exhaust pipes. Silver and chrome-plated styled steel wheels are mounted with (NEW) red-stripe BFGoodrich tires. The GT-E’s standard Super Competition Handling Package featured stiffer springs plus a larger-diameter sway bar, heavy-duty shock absorbers, and a 3.50:1 Traction-Lok axle ratio. A full-size spare wheel and tire are located in the trunk. The cabin features red leather seats with matching carpets and trim. Equipment includes a center console, a Philco AM radio, and a clock. A wood-rimmed tilting steering wheel fronts instrumentation that includes a 120-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, and gauges monitoring amperage, fuel level, and coolant temperature, while an oil-pressure gauge is mounted on the glovebox door. The five-digit odometer shows 79,449 miles.The 7.0-liter V8—alternately known as a 427 side-oiler—was rated at 390 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque when new and is fed by a Holley four-barrel carburetor. The lower block area is cross-bolted to the main-bearing caps, and the engine has a hydraulic camshaft, high-strength pistons and connecting rods, and heavy-duty valve springs. The oil was changed and fluids checked in preparation for the sale. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Select-Shift Merc-O-Matic C6 three-speed automatic transmission. The Deluxe Marti report decodes the car’s trim tag and also documents selected features, build dates, and production numbers for XR-7 GT-E cars with the 427ci engine. A total of 256 GT-E Cougars were built for the 1968 model year.DOOR DATA PLATE INFORMATIONserial Number 8F93W5493188 1968F BUILT IN DEARBORN93 COUGAR XR-7 2 DOOR HARDTOPW 427-4V GT-E V-8 ENGINE549318 SERIAL # OF THIS MERCURY SCHEDULED FOR PRODUCTION @ DEARBORN65B COUGAR XR-7 2-DOOR HARDTOPT CARDINAL RED6D DARK RED LEATHER BUCKET SEATS25C SCHEDULED FOR BUILD MARCH 25, 1968318645 BUFFALO ORDERING DISTRICT UNDER DOMESTIC SPECIAL ORDER #8465H 3.50 TRACTION - LOK REAR AXLEU WITH C-6 SELECT SHIFT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ORDER TYPE: STOCKDSO ITEM # 9543DEALER # 31B126 TIMES SQUARE L-M INC 138 E 12TH STREET ERIE PA 16501EQUIPPED WITH THE FOLLOWING FEATURES- BLACK VINYL ROOF- GT-E PACKAGE- LIMITED SLIP REAR AXLE- FR70X14 WIDE OVAL RADIAL TIRES WHITE SIDEWALL TIRES- CONSOLE- POWER BRAKES- POWER STEERING- AM RADIO- CHROME STYLE WHEELS"IMPORTANT DATES"ORDER RECEIVED: 11/27/1967CAR SERIALIZED: 02/26/1968BUCKED: 03/13/1968SCHEDULED FOR BUILD: 03/25/1968ACTUALLY BUILT: 03/18/1968RELEASED: 03/19/1968SOLD: 04/13/1968THIS 1968 COUGAR XR7 IS ONE OF:1,750 WITH CARDINAL RED PAINT566 WITH CARDINAL RED PAINT WITH DARK RED LEATHER BUCKET SEATS256 WITH 427 ENGINE WITH C-6 SELECT SHIFT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION867 ORDERED FROM THIS DSO278 WITH GT-E PACKAGEThis is a rare opportunity to own a stunning example of a "W" code 1968 Mercury Cougar XR-7 GT-E 427 and the last car the Blue Oval put a 427 in from the factory!
