The Cougar was Mercury’s version of the Mustang, but never really had the image status that the Mustang enjoyed. Very few people even knew about the GT-E 427 option. It all had to do with positioning.
Mercury positioned and marketed the GT-E in-between the Mustang and the Thunderbird. They still had the old business model called, “start’m out with a cheap can and let them work their way up to a Lincoln.”
The 390 horsepower 427 had 460 lb.ft of torque, but was only available with a C-6 automatic trans. So how serious was mercury about the GT-E being a real muscle car? As a result, Mercury only sold 602 GT-E optioned Cougars in 1968. So if you didn’t know about the 427 GT-E, you’ve got lots of company because most of the rest of the muscle car market didn’t know about the car either.
