This is a 1973 Cougar XR-7 convertible this was the last year of the Cougar convertible and the most collectible of the 71-73 series . This is a nice loaded Car it originally started out in southern California but. I bought from a guy up in the high Nevada desert its a very solid rust free desert car, its loaded with options. The car has a 351-C 2 barrel engine ,automatic transmission ,Power steering ,Power disk brakes, air conditioning,.power windows, Power drivers seat , Tilt steering wheel , AM/FM stereo radio, Intermittent windshield wipers and ,tinted glass. The XR-7 models came with the dash gauge package and deluxe leather interior . The condition of the car is as follows it was originally a white car with white leather interior and green appointments somewhere along the line the car was painted red and the green interior trim parts were also painted red . As you can see from the photos the interior is weathered and needs restoration .I just spent 2 thousand dollars and had the carburetor rebuilt and the back brakes redone along with a brake system flush . Just got the car back from the upholstery shop and had a brand new White convertible top put on ,with a glass back window, new top pads and new top back well liner installed . The car runs decent but could use a good tune up engine has lots of power engine runs very cool with no overheating issues . i drove this car on the freeway for 30 miles and it ran good Tires hold air but need to be replaced for safe driving There is a small dent in the right rear quarter topside as seen in photo. The odometer shows 66,000 K miles but not sure if its original . I am enclosing a real nice white passenger seat and the front splash grill panel along with a dash wood grain bezel. The dash pod lens are missing my guess is they were cloudy so they were removed everything seems to work the power seat is slow needs lube job the power top works well . The air conditioning does not work and needs service there is a jack in the truck but no spare tire . These cars were well built and very heavy and are getting harder to find These cars have really gone up in value and are a good investment .I am selling this car as a restoration project i have too many projects and need to sell this car it is being sold AS-IS where is buyer is responsible for pick any questions please feel free to ask this car is registered in the state of California and has a clear title with my name on it Only US sales .You can't find a rust free body for the price i am asking on this car
