1978 Mercury Cougar Xr-7 Hardtop 2-door 6.6l on 2040-cars

The car is complete and unmolested. It was Ziebarted and undercoated when new, I reundercoated it a few years back. The body is mostly rust free , only has surface rust from paint that has chipped off from sitting outside for some time, so it will need repainted. It has some minor rust in the rear part of the passenger side wheel well. It also has rust on the inner part of the front wheel wells above the shock towers next to the engine.  The floor boards, trunk floors and body are solid and rust free except what is noted above. It has been garaged for the last several years since I have owned it. I am the 3rd owner of this fine automobile which I have had for several years and was planning on restoring it myself.   It's a truly a nice automobile and I am having a hard time letting it go. I have too many projects, and too little space, so this one has got to go.    

The car is loaded with most every option that was available when it was special ordered through the dealer. The options include: Power Brakes,  Factory styled wheels, (the tires are in decent shape) Power Steering, Tilt Steering and Cruise Control.

Power Windows and Locks, (passenger side power lock not working). Driver's Side Power Seat,   4 Speaker Sound System with after market cassette player. Rear Window Defrost, Climate Control System with AC, (AC needs recharged). Rear Power Antenna, Duel Sports Mirrors adjustable from inside the car. Ride Engineered System with Rear Sway Bar, and halogen headlights. Everything works except things listed above. The interior is in perfect condition except for driver's seat that has cracks in it. I believe the seats are possibly leather. The carpet is original and in great condition as well.

Overall, The car is in great shape for it's age. I drove the car about 20 miles to where it is now about 8 months ago and it ran great, but has been sitting in the garage since then until I started it recently. The car starts right up and the engine runs good but seems to have some issues with the carburetor (I believe) as it pulls back when accelerating. When it's in drive and I try moving it, it stalls,  but starts right back up. I ask a mechanic and he said it sounds like a carb. issue   The brakes are in good shape. I just replaced both rear wheel cylinders as one started leaking  It does have a new starter as well. The exhaust system has some leaks due to age. The body has some minor damage to the driver's side rear corner, but has a new cap. (see pic) The windshield has a straight crack directly in the middle from top to bottom, but no runners off of that. The passenger side door molding is missing, but I have it.  I also have some extra parts from a parts car that will be going with it as well.   

This is a Great Restoration Project Car in Prime Condition.  
Car will start and drive out of garage, and will need cabled onto the trailer do to the issues stated above.    

This car is for sell locally and may be removed early from Ebay.  

Once reserve is met, you have entered into a binding contract to purchase it so it will then no longer be for sale locally.

I have described the car to the best of my knowledge. The car is sold as is.  

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
