Matching numbers 1973 Cougar XR7 with a 351 Cleveland.
The vehicle is by no means fully restored as it needs a few things but read on to find out why this is a steal of a deal!
I am all about being upfront and honest so that people
No worries I have the CLEAN, UNBRANDED title in hand. This Classic piece of American Muscle shows 83k miles on the Odometer and anyone who knows anything about older vehicles knows that the Odometer can "roll over" meaning the vehicle COULD technically have 183k miles but THIS vehicle was stored for 9 1/2 years so there is a very very strong chance that it truly is 83k miles.
What I have done since I got the car:
Brand New Fuel Pump
Brand New Accelerator pump gasket
Brand New Battery
Brand New Fuel Filter
Brand New Plugs
Brand New Plug Wires
Brand New Distributor Cap
I also have a newly ordered (not installed)XR7 Rear Seat (pictured)
As pictured I also have the Original American Racing Wheels.
Factory AC and Heat BOTH work great!!
The TLC needed for full restoration if desired:
The Brakes need to be done, they are functional at best.
The front seats should be reupholstered (it's a matter of preference)
It also obviously needs paint.
There is Very Very minimal body damage and it is all on the front of the body on the driver side front corner panel which, as you can see, is almost un-noticeable.
Lastly it needs a carpet kit.

Ford recalls Five Hundred, Mercury Montego sedans over fuel tank woes
Mon, 18 Jul 2011Ford has announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is recalling nearly 3,000 examples of its Five Hundred and Mercury Montego (pictured) sedans from the 2007 model year.
The action, which affects 2,945 vehicles, is due to potentially defective welds between the filler neck and the fuel tank, a condition that could result in a fuel leak or the smell of gasoline reaching the occupants. In the worst-case scenario, a leak could cause a fire. Cars with the affected fuel tank problem could see an illuminated dashboard warning light as a result of the evaporative emissions leak being detected.
Ford will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost to owners (those who have already had the procedure done at-cost can apply for reimbursement), and the Dearborn automaker will begin notifying Five Hundred and Montego owners beginning August 15. Check out the official NHTSA press release after the jump for further details.
Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

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.
