1969 Mercury Cougar
1969 Mercury Cougar
Oct 30, 2024
Description

  It all started in 1969, when Coca-Cola decided it wanted to do a

  promotion where the top prize would be a hot-rodded 1969 428ci

  Cobra-Jet-powered Mercury Cougar. Coca-Cola partnered up with Car

  Craft Magazine and Don Nicholson, aka "Dyno Don," to build a show

  version of Dyno Don's Super Stock cougar. It traveled around to

  different promotional events and races, where it would do NHRA

  exhibition runs. Ford sent the car to Don's shop, where it was

  blueprinted and a few secret tweaks to the engine were done. Also

  added a set of Lakewood traction bars, Jardine headers, new drag

  shocks, a set of Cragar SS wheels and a set of slicks. Don decided

  to install a Hurst Competition shifter and linkage setup. In

  September 1969, Coca-Cola gave the car to one lucky winner in Ohio.

  Sadly, he had to sell it. It was rediscovered in 1999, then was

  given a full restoration taking 3 years to accomplish. After its

  restoration, it has changed hands a few times and is currently in a

  private car collection. In 2016 "Super Cat" took Outstanding

  First-Time Showing from MCACN and the Platinum Pick Judge's Choice;

  in 2019, it received an Invitation Display Certificate from MCACN

  and it was featured on the cover of MCACN Magazine. The sale comes

  with the 1973 Ohio title, Marti Report, vintage magazines, photos

  and National Thirst Eliminator Sweepstakes giveaway sign board.
