ABOUT: Up for sale is an original condition 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7. This was a CA car brought to CO. I am selling due to other projects. I am providing as much information as I know to the best of my knowledge and will answer any questions as best as possible. Original Light Aqua paint and White vinyl top plus all trim is original. Leather and Corinthian vinyl interior. The driver's door and trunk lid has some paint issues. These appear as some form of cracking that I can only guess may be sun damage of some sort to the lacquer finish. The car has no rust that I could find from the inside or outside. The engine is a 351W with a newer Holley 4 bbl. put in by the previous owner. I do not have the orig. carb. There are no oil leaks and the engine is very clean. Distributor is converted to Pertronix pointless along with higher output coil. Newer dual exhaust with a nice low rumble sound. Original spec'd 3 speed manual on the floor. Console appears aftermarket. Manual drum brakes recently redone. Front end has been upgraded with bushings, etc. Has a Monte Carlo bar for improved front stiffening. Newer shocks. BF Goodrich tires (225/70R14) are in v.g. Condition on Magnum 500 rims. There are 2 spares. One is a full size spare on a Magnum 500 rim less center cap & trim ring. The other is the original space saver inflatable spare including canister to fill spare. Manual steering with rim blow horn. Wood grain dash with all gauges including factory tach. Clock is not currently working. Original Philco AM radio with dash speaker. Works great. Dash is not cracked. Has a dash cover. All glass is good. No PW. The interior is original.

Headlights work fine incl. vacuum doors. Sequential taillights work fine. No A/C. Heater/Defroster works. This car is in great original condition and gets many thumbs up at local events. I have driven it a little over 1000 miles without any problems and would not hesitate to take it on any long distance trips. It is a good daily driver, car show entrant, or great base to make it what you want. It is not a trailer show queen. Mileage shows it to be approx. 02000. I understand it to be 102,000.
