This time, we're taking a spin in a very cool 1969 Mercury Cougar, one loaded with the XR7 option and the top-cat 428 Cobra Jet Ram Air V8! Add to that the convertible top, and you have about the baddest Cougar you could buy in '69. From the Brothers Collection. | Muscle Car Of The Week

Today we take a closer look at the 1971 Mercury Cougar XR7. This was the first year for the second-generation Cougar, replacing the original that started in 1967. This new car was longer, more luxurious, and featured the largest engines offered by Ford/Lincoln/Mercury. AMCM's Owner, Mark Pieloch, covers this original XR7, including the model's history and the rarely optioned factory sunroof. | American Muscle Car Museum
