Description: The 1969 Mercury Cougar Convertible represents the height of late-60s American styling — blending muscle car performance with a more refined, luxury-focused edge.

Positioned by Mercury as a more upscale alternative to the Ford Mustang, the Cougar offered distinctive design elements, improved comfort and a smoother driving experience, while still delivering the V8 power buyers expected from the era. The convertible variant added another level of appeal, offering open-top cruising that perfectly suited the style and attitude of the time.

This particular example is one of 5,776 convertibles produced, making it a relatively rare version of an already desirable model. Presented in red with a black interior, it captures that unmistakable classic American look, further complemented by bucket seats and its original left-hand drive configuration.

Powered by a V8 engine and paired with the FMX heavy-duty automatic transmission, it delivers a relaxed and enjoyable driving experience, ideal for cruising. The vehicle has been restored, fitted with new brakes, and runs and drives.

Sitting on 12-slot rims with a staggered tyre setup, this Cougar has the stance to match its presence.

With registration valid until August 24th, 2026, this is a great opportunity to secure a classic American convertible that combines rarity, style and usability — perfect for weekend drives, shows, or as a standout addition to a collection.

Buyer FAQs – How Our Auctions Work

How do I place a bid?

To place a bid, simply register for an account on our website. Once logged in, you can enter your bid amount directly on the item listing page. You’ll be notified if you’ve been outbid so you can place another.

Is there a buyer’s premium?

Yes. A buyer’s premium applies to all lots and is clearly listed on each item page. This is added to the final hammer price.

What is an ‘Elite Auction’?

Items listed as part of our Elite Auctions have undergone a 100-point inspection by a qualified mechanic. A detailed condition report is included with the listing to give buyers transparency and confidence. This only applies to items stamped with the Elite badge.

Can I inspect the item before bidding?

Some items listed with Mil & Co Auctions are available for inspection. If an inspection is available, this will be clearly stated in the listing. To arrange an inspection, you must contact our team via phone or email to book a time.

We encourage buyers to inspect items where possible, as all sales are final and no refunds are provided.

What happens if I win the auction?

If you’re the highest bidder at auction close and the reserve has been met, you’ll receive an email with a payment summary and next steps. You’ll then be required to make payment within the specified timeframe (usually within 48 hours).
If the reserve has not been met, your bid will be referred to the vendor for consideration. We will contact you shortly after the auction to advise whether the sale has been approved.

What does it mean if an item is ‘referred’?

If bidding ends and the reserve price hasn’t been met, the item is referred to the vendor. This means the vendor will review the highest bid and decide whether to accept, reject, or negotiate the offer. We will contact the highest bidder after the auction with the outcome.

How do I pay for my item?

After close of sale, you will receive an invoice that contains all payment instructions.

When do I get the item?

Once full payment has been received and cleared, you’ll receive a confirmation email. All items must be collected within 48 business hours unless other arrangements have been made with our team.

Can I get a quote for repairs or transport?

Yes. For Elite Auctions, inspection reports can be used to get third-party quotes for any repairs. For transport quotes, please contact us and we can connect you with one of our trusted providers.

What if I have questions about the item?

Each listing includes detailed descriptions and photos. If you still have questions, our team is happy to help — just give us a call or send an email and quote the listing number so we can assist you quickly.
