Shelby Cougar's |

Mercury wanted to get into the act too so Shelby Automotive was hired to do a Cougar version for 1968, Dan Gurney was the figurehead for the XR7-G program. For tons of info on XR7-G's visit my website:

Understand that there were also "Dan Gurney Special" Cougars and Cyclones that had nothing to do with Shelby Automotive. Only the XR7-G was built at A.O. Smith corp alongside the Shelby Mustangs. 200 were ordered for Hertz as part of the "Rent - A - Racer" program and another batch was sold to the public. The XR7-G was only built during the 1968 model year.
