 | One of a dozen known survivors. The ground rippling powerplants were often lifted from the Cougar GT-E to be used elsewhere. |
 | 101 examples of the Mercury Cougar GT-E were produced in 1968. Of those, 64 were fitted with a 427ci V8 engine and the remaining 37 packed a 428 cubic-inch Cobra Jet. The engine was the one Ford used to homologate its NASCAR racing program. This Cougar GT-E might be one of the finest examples of its species. No part was ignored in a meticulously thorough rotisserie restoration. |
 | The 1968 Mercury Cougar GT-E is highly desirable. In 2011 a top tier example made $181k. This pristine example appears at Mecum. |  |
