Description
1968 MERCURY COUGAR - XR-7 A TRIBUTE TO THE �AMERICAN
EAGLE,� DAN GURNEY
This car is a replica of the 1967 Mercury Cougar XR-7 driven by
Dan in the United States Trans Am Series. It was constructed as
part of a television reality show series by Barry�s Speed Shop of
California, and the car was acknowledged and autographed by
Dan.
Since its completion by Barry�s Speed Shop, Competition Engine
Development of Phoenix has disassembled, inspected and
reconstructed the engine, driveline and chassis components.
Reality shows are more about production issues than product
quality.
As currently configured, the car is an example of the �resto-mod�
school of vehicle reconstruction. The car features competition
quality disc brakes and suspension, a 302 c.i. Ford V8 with
Edelbrock dual four-barrel carburetors, MSD ignition
components, a mild race grind camshaft and forged crank, rods
and pistons. The transmission is a six-speed Tremec Cobra unit,
and the rearend is posi-traction.
