I was hoping to keep this car as my long term project, but unfortunately due to circumstances out of my control, I have to give this one up :( this will make a GREAT project for someone who is willing to take it on.
Its a 1970 Mercury Cougar XR7 Hardtop. It has:
-Rebuilt 351 Cleveland 4v with a Holley 4bbl
-Long tube Hooker headers
-3 speed manual (1 of 40 ever made with this motor, trans combo)
-3.25 rear end
-Working retractable headlight covers
-New fuel tank
-New brakes front and rear
-Leather Highback seats (drivers seat needs repair)
-Original Rimblow steering wheel
-28K original miles on the frame, less than 20 miles on the rebuilt motor
-All numbers except for the rear end match
The great thing about this car right now is it runs and drives! As you can tell from the pictures, the body will need some attention, as well as in the interior, but all of the trim and chrome pieces are there and in GREAT condition (which is hard to find in these cars!)
I would prefer local buyers, but can accomodate shipping arrangements paid by buyer.

Watch as an out-of-control car demolishes gas pump
Tue, May 2 2017A Baltimore area man was fighting for his life Tuesday after crashing his car into a gas station. According to WBAL, the unidentified 64-year-old lost control of his vehicle for unknown reasons around 4:55 a.m. May 1 in Parkville, Md. The 2007 Mercury Milan careened downhill, ramped over a curb, and smashed full-speed into a gas station pump. The car then flipped and came to rest against one of the station's canopy support pillars. Don Karbowniczek, owner of a service station across the street, told WBAL he was shocked there wasn't more damage. It's also surprising that the car even made it to the pumps, as it had to thread past a coin-op vacuum machine, the station's sign, a utility pole, and a traffic light pole. "It came right through, took some of our bushes out, just trimmed them for us, and how it got through and flip the way it did, I don't know. From what I see on the marks, it had to go airborne and just come down on the pump," Karbowniczek said. Thankfully there was no fire or explosion. Gas pumps have shear valves - safety devices that immediately cut the flow of gasoline when a pump is damaged. The driver was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, and was in critical condition. Police theorized the driver may have become stricken with a health issue when he lost control.

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The 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.
