1973 Mercury Cougar XR7 Convertible w/ 351 Cleveland engine with 4 barrel carburetor

 

VIN: 3F94Q571928

 

Mileage: 44,505 Miles

 

Up for auction is a 1973 Mercury Cougar XR7 Convertible w/ 351 Cleveland engine with 4 barrel carburetor. This car belonged to my grandfather until he passed away last fall and left it to my brother and I.  He purchased the car BRAND NEW in 1973. It has been garage kept ever since and driven very sparingly, as you can see by the fact that it only has 44,505 miles! WOW! The car is in very good condition and is all original (other than aftermarket tape player). Take your time to look at all the pictures and you will be very happy with this car.  Only 3,166 of the 1973 Cougar XR7 Convertibles were produced!

 

The Good:

 

Body condition – You aren’t going to find very many cars from 1973 that are in anywhere near as good as shape as this vehicle

 

Mileage – WOW! 44,505 miles! These are all original miles. No modifications or rebuilds have ever been done to this engine. VERY VERY LOW MILEAGE for a car made in 1973!

 

One Owner – This car was purchased BRAND NEW by my grandfather in 1973.

 

Garage Kept – This car has been garage kept since the day he bought it!

 

Convertible Top & Cover – These are both in very good shape. Convertible top glides right back into place with a flick of the switch and the cover fits nice and snug for a nice ride.

 

Leather Interior – Leather does show some small signs of wear, but overall is in very good shape!

 

Trunk – Nice and clean! Spare tire included!

 

ALL ORIGINAL! – Other then the aftermarket cassette tape player, this car is exactly the way it was when my grandfather brought it home brand new in 1973! No modifications or rebuilds! All original mileage, and very very low mileage!

 

Runs great – Fires right up and rides nice and smooth!

 

The Bad:

 

If you have any questions or would like to see some additional pictures about any of the topics below feel free to email me and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I intend to paint a clear picture with my description and pictures as to what the car really looks like.

 

Leather Interior – Shows some signs of wear, but are very minimal. Overall the leather is still is very good shape.

 

Tires – Needs a new set of tires

 

Rear Passenger Side Panel & Passenger Door Jamb – There is a very small amount of paint chipping off and a small amount of rust forming in this area. It is very minimal. It has not rusted through completely and appears to just be surface rust.

 

Inside Passenger Door Handle – Seems to be hanging down slightly versus what the handle looks like on the driver’s side door. Still works just fine though.

 

Clock in middle console – This doesn’t appear to be working currently. I haven’t attempted to figure out what the problem is. Could be something very simple, such as a fuse.

 

Driver’s Seat – Small tear leather on the seam on the left side of the driver’s seat

 

Driver’s Door Pull Handle – I have the handle, but it isn’t currently attached to the door. The handle has some yellow discoloring to it as well.

 

Convertible Tops & Cover – These both have some slight wear, but are still in good shape.

 

Front Driver’s Side Panel – Looks like some splatter of something from the road and possibly some small amount of paint chipping.

 

Air Conditioning – The car has air conditioning, but it isn’t currently working. When I had the car looked over when I first took possession of the car I was told it needed to be recharged.

 

 

Overall this is an amazing vehicle. My grandfather took great care of it and made sure that it would continue to be a great vehicle for somebody to own for years to come. If I had somewhere to keep it and could afford the insurance and regular upkeep on it I would love to keep it, but unfortunately without a regular space to keep it in forever and my first child on the way I must part ways with it unfortunately. My grandfather has taken great care of this car and now it must find a new home and a new owner to take just as great of care of it.

 

Should you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact me and I will get back with you ASAP. I was only able to upload 24 pictures to the listing, but I have additional pictures that I can send to anybody at their request. This car is located just outside of Cincinnati, OH, so if you are interested and would like to see the car in person feel free to message me and we can setup a meeting. Happy bidding and I look forward to selling you a great vehicle. Thank you

Additional Condition Note:


It was just pointed out to me, and I apologize for missing this in my condition description, but on the rear passenger side wheel house the chrome strip is no longer in place like it is on the other wheel housing. Thank you

Auto Show Notebook: Legendary Continental name inspired Lincoln's designers

Thu, Apr 2 2015

What's in a name? A lot for the Continental concept, and it gave Lincoln designers a sense of purpose as they styled the brand's upcoming flagship sedan. "The moment that we told them, it was amazing," Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra said. "They totally got it." "It" is cutting-edge technology wrapped in stately, large-sedan design. It's a nod to Lincoln's storied past, but a signpost for where the brand is heading. Though the Continental name dates to the late 1930s, Lincoln designers avoided making the concept overtly retro. "You can't let it pull yourself back too far in history, but you've got to design a car that lives up to the name," Galhotra said. Speaking to Autoblog on the floor of the New York Auto Show where the Continental formally debuted Wednesday, the Lincoln president reiterated that the car is on track to launch in 2016. It will compete against the Audi A6, Lexus GS, BMW 5 Series and other large luxury sedans. After its debut, the concept in New York will fly to China – another critical market for Lincoln – for display there. It will be replaced in New York by a prototype without an interior. The Continental is the latest high profile play by Lincoln to raise its image with consumers, who have either ignored or forgotten about it amid steep competition in the luxury sector from German and Japanese brands and a potentially resilient Cadillac. Lincoln sales are essentially flat compared with 2014 through the first quarter of this year, with total volume of 21,478 units. The middling start to 2015 comes on the heels of nearly 16-percent sales growth last year spurred by the launch of the MKC and the prominent signing of Matthew McConaughey to star in Lincoln advertisements. Other News, Notes & Quotes Speaking of names, Chevrolet did its homework before deciding to proceed with "Malibu" for its new generation of midsize cars. "We went out and researched it," said Alan Batey, president of General Motors North America. "People actually like the name 'Malibu,'" he said. Admittedly, the current Malibu has struggled in the marketplace against entrenched competitors, Batey said, but he's optimistic its awareness and historical value are assets to the dramatically redesigned sedan."The name's strong," he said. Meanwhile, in other Chevy news, the brand kicked off a new marketing campaign, "Real People, Not Actors" Wednesday. It will show consumers interacting with Chevys and their spontaneous reactions to the vehicles.

The AM37 is literally the Aston Martin of boats

Wed, Sep 28 2016

While sports car companies such as Porsche and Lamborghini are looking to SUVs to expand their offerings, Aston Martin has taken a page from Mercedes and designed a boat. Specifically, it's a 37-foot powerboat appropriately named the AM37. The boat was developed with help from Mulder Design and Quintessence Yachts, and is available in two different versions, both of which should the aquatic equivalent of Aston Martin performance. The standard AM37 is available with two different pairs of engines from Mercury, either 370-horsepower diesel engines or 450-horsepower gas engines. If that's not enough, Aston also offers the AM37S, which comes with a pair of 520-horsepower gasoline Mercury engines. Like road-going Astons, this boat is absolutely gorgeous. The lines are simple, crisp and clean. It features a beautiful wood deck, and an impressive double-curved, single-piece glass windshield. And if you get tired of the sun, the AM37 features a powered, carbon fiber bimini top. The interior completes the package with a carbon fiber dashboard, lots of leather and polished steering wheel, throttle and joystick. It's also incredibly well-equipped with seating for eight, air conditioning, mood lighting, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, a bed that folds out from the table, and even a bathroom. Aston Martin didn't release pricing or availability for the AM37. However, we suspect that if you really want this boat and have the means, pricing doesn't matter, and you're probably willing to wait.

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
