This is your chance to own the second nicest '68 XR-7 in California. I know who owns the nicest and its not for sale. This car came FACTORY EQUIPPED with these options: 1) Factor Air Conditioning 2) Power Steering 3) Power Front Disc Brakes 4) Automatic Transmission 5) XR-7 Trim (Overhead Console etc...) I've owned this car for over 15 years and the reason I'm selling it is because I don't drive it enough to justify ownership anymore. This Classic Cat needs to get out there and strut her stuff. This car is a real head turner and just roll the windows up and turn on the Factory Air Conditioning if you don't want to respond to all the attention this one gets. I got what I believe to be a reasonable reserve for a 47 year old car in this nice of shape. I've been around eBay for just as long and I occasionally search for Cougars and I haven't seen one near as nice as this. Auction restricted to qualified bidders only. On Mar-26-14 at 23:38:49 PDT, seller added the following information: ***VERY IMPORTANT***PLEASE READ***VERY IMPORTANT*** Thank you all very much for your interest in my auction. Unfortunately, due to the classless few, I have to add these conditions before you should bid. I will do my best to respond as quickly as possible, TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE AND IN MY OPINION, THE ODOMETER HAS NOT FLIPPED. I CANNOT PROVE THIS. NO WARRANTIES ARE STATED OR IMPLIED. I DO KNOW IT TOOK ME OVER 15 YEARS TO PUT LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED WITH A CAR COVER FOR AS LONG AS I AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAVE OWNED IT. THERE ARE NO PATCH PANELS OR RUSTED THROUGH SPOTS ANYWHERE ON THIS VEHICLE. THE FOLKS THAT HAVE SEEN THIS CAR IN PERSON AGREE WITH THE STATEMENT THAT THIS IS RUST FREE VEHICLE. MINOR SURFACE RUST EXCLUDED. THE DRIVE TRAIN IS SOLID AND RELIABLE. THE C4 TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REBUILT INCLUDING A SHIFT KIT. IT CHANGES GEARS SOLID AND HARD! CHIRP CHIRP. IT HAS 3:55 GEARS. THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION IS NEAR NEW FROM A MILEAGE STANDPOINT AND SO IS THE REAR END. ONLY THE HIGHEST QUALITY USA MADE PARTS AVAILABLE WERE USED WHEN MAINTAINING THIS VEHICLE. (TIMKEN/NATIONAL/HAYES/BENDIX/KYB/USA STANDARD/CURRIE ENTERPRISES/FOMOCO ETC...) Condition #1 If you are bidding on this item outside the continental United States, you MUST contact me before placing a bid to ensure shipping arrangements are fully understood and can be met. I cannot store the vehicle past a reasonable amount of time under any circumstances. Condition #2 If you have been an eBay menber for less than one year OR your feedback score is less than 10, you MUST contact me before placing a bid to verify credibility. Your feedback score is your credit report in this world. Those folks that I have talked to over the phone already and placed a bid have met those requirements and their bids will remain intact. Unfortunately, I will have to cancel the bids which don't meet these requirements. Please contact me through the email link on this page to arrange a phone conversation if you so desire or need to discuss qualification. I will do my best to respond promptly and keep up with the response. I am in the PDT time zone. Non Paying Bidders will be reported to eBay and anything else I can legally do to make a Non Paying Bidder's life miserable. Please don't waste my time or discredit your reputation. Ask questions BEFORE bidding and use all the other common sense that goes along with doing business in this type of venue. Do your own due diligence. I'm hoping to add a few more pictures tomorrow morning. The winning bidder will not be disappointed. My eBay ad does not do this car justice. Good luck everybody! ~Rich
