BODY OVERVIEW:
The 1973 Mercury Cougar XR7 was designed to stand out, and this one is no exception. Its long, lean profile and chrome accents make it a true 1970s icon. This car wears its originality proudly, showing off its original sheet metal and character. There are some dings and minor imperfections, but these add to its survivor status and vintage authenticity.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The Glamour Gold paint is original and has held up well over the years. That said, expect thin spots and touch-ups here and there—typical for a car of this age that's never been resprayed. Despite these blemishes, the paint still shines and looks great from a few feet away. The brown vinyl top remains in nice original condition and complements the color scheme nicely!
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
Step inside, and you're transported straight back to the ‘70s. The brown leather interior shows normal wear, but nothing that takes away from the car’s charm. The leather seats are comfortable, and all the vintage details are intact. While the original radio is non-functional, everything else inside is functional and driver-friendly. Note: the horn button has been relocated to the column due to the original “rim-blow†horn no longer working—a quirky touch, but it gets the job done!
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Under the hood is the heart of this Cougar—a 351 V8 that runs like a dream. It starts up easily, idles smoothly, and pulls strongly on the road (which is no small feat in a car of this size!). Paired with an automatic transmission, it’s an effortless cruiser that’s ready for weekend drives. This Cougar may not be fast, but it is a pleasure to drive!Â
