Ford Other 1973 Description

1973 Mercury Cougar XR-7Convertible

This is a solid driver in need of some cosmetic work. Car has some random, vandalism type scratches, a dent on fender, and something odd going on on one door. The dented fender and door are pictured, the scratches wouldn't show well, but they are present. There have been a couple patches welded into the floor, but this car is not a rotten mess. We have restored several old cars, and this would be an easy one.

The Cougar starts, runs, and drives well. The motor does have a tick to it, not sure if lifter, bearing, rocker arm, or... Runs well, and has Edelbrock intake manifold, carburetor, and some chrome goodies. It is a 351 Windsor, with an automatic.

Interior is decent, no rips. Could use a good detail and a few little odds and ends.

Power top works, roof is decent but dirty. No rips. The back window os open along one end, not sure if its just a zipper issue or if it needs repair.

Car has recent dual exhaust and it sounds fantastic. Not obnoxious loud, but nobody is going to mistake it for a hybrid!
