Hertz Rent-A-Racer: 1968 Mercury Cougar XR7-G

The legend of the Shelby Mustang GT350-H Hertz race ready rental cars is an old campfire story among car guys, but a little known fact is that there were a few hundred Mercury Cougar XR7-G (G for Gurney...as in Dan Gurney) rental ready racers built alongside the Shelby Mustangs. This next example is a complete basket case with rust everywhere and a seized engine...but it looks like Dynacorn is getting into the Cougar resto-sheet metal business and for a few tens of thousands of bucks this could be a keeper.  Find this 1968 Mercury Cougar XR7-G here on eBay bidding for $4,750 reserve-not-met located in Lake Elsinore, CA with 2 days to go.
