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.
