Muscle car purists and pro-touring fanatics alike take note: the 1967 Mercury Cougar “427 Wildcat” is now available, and it’s anything but your average classic pony car. Housed at a performance facility in Indianapolis, this twin-supercharged beast is an award-winning, magazine-featured build engineered for street, strip, and show dominance.
At the core of the Wildcat is a 427ci Windsor V8 armed with dual Torqstorm superchargers and Holley electronic fuel injection, delivering staggering, dyno-proven horsepower. The power is channeled through a 4L80E automatic transmission with paddle shifters, blending modern control with brutal old-school muscle.
Handling is equally impressive thanks to a full Detroit Speed suspension setup, designed to give this ’67 Cougar corner-carving ability that rivals today’s top-tier sports cars. A fully integrated roll cage adds rigidity and safety without interrupting the car’s clean, show-ready aesthetic.
What sets the Wildcat apart isn’t just its performance, but its pedigree. Selected by Car Craft Magazine for the prestigious Real Street Challenge, the car has earned Best of Show honors nationwide—including at the 50th Anniversary Cougar Show held at Ford’s global headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan.
The Wildcat has been widely featured in publications such as MotorTrend, Popular Hot Rodding, and on platforms for Summit Racing and Torqstorm Superchargers, making it a legitimate celebrity in the pro-touring world.
With its flawless execution, overwhelming power, and proven track record, this Cougar isn’t just a custom—it’s a benchmark for what’s possible in resto-mod performance and presentation.
