1970 Mercury Cougar Coupe review from UK and Ireland
"A fantastic high performance classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fast idle cam broke.
Fuel sender replaced.
General comments?
This car is very fast.
Puts new sports cars to shame.
The fuel consumption is a small price to pay for the sheer power and the owning of a Classic American Car.
