This is a very nice example of a VERY RARE and hard to find 1970 Cougar XR-7 Convertible. Mercury made less than 2000 of these cars to begin with. It's very difficult to put a price on it insofar is there are very few for sale. These cars usually change hands privately.
This car has a very nice original interior that is amazing considering the car is unrestored. The exterior was repainted in its original hue about 5 years ago, and has few few road miles since then, and is great for a driver. The car is very solid, with all original sheet metal. , dry floors. This is not a rot box or "bondo buggy". Everything works on this car as well, from the sequential tail lights to the hidden headlights. The car drives straight and rattle free, a true testament to being a original low mileage car. The chrome and brightwork is damn near perfect. Car runs great and needs nothing at this point to drive and enjoy! This is as nice as they come in a "unrestored" state.
This car needs nothing to drive and enjoy. Note- I have the spare tire, jack, and all fiberboard panels for the trunk, I just removed them to show potential buyers the immaculate condition of the trunk, including factory paint in trunk. I am a avid Mercury collector, and you DONT see trunks this nice, ever.
Haggerty price guide values the car at $26,000 in #3 condition...I'm going to discount that price substantially.
Try and FIND another.

Kit Cat: Mercury Cougar makes perfect Bugatti Veyron substitute
Thu, 24 Feb 2011Bugatti Veyron kit car - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you've got a pulse in your wrist and a snapping brain cell in your head, chances are you wouldn't mind parking a Bugatti Veyron in your garage. But for most mere mortals, scrounging up the cash for a physics-bending piece of 16-cylinder glory would require all sorts of unpalatable tasks. Fortunately for those who want to look the part without having to participate in human trafficking, the kit car universe has stepped in to save the day. All you need is a 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar, a boat load of fiberglass and a little patience.
Oh, and $89,000.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
