Price My Classic

After the gigantic success of the Mustang, it wasn't long before Mercury got their own version called the Cougar. Starting with the Mustang's platform, they stretched the wheelbase for more rear-seat room and added plenty of luxury features to make it a more sophisticated alternative to the original pony car. At the same time, the car saw success in Trans-Am with Dan Gurney behind the wheel, proving it to be more than a watered-down muscle car. However, its original role was short-lived, with its nameplate being placed on everything from big station wagons to small front-wheel-drive coupes over the next 30 years. The 1973 XR7 Convertible was the last gasp for the original Cougar. At first glance, the giant headlights and grill of the 1971 redesign make the Cougar look big, and the mandatory crash bumpers added in '73 exaggerate this even further. However, the car's wheelbase grew by just an inch, and the body is slightly shorter than a contemporary Mustang, netting a 100- to 200-pound weight advantage over the Ford. Like its predecessor, Mercury didn't skimp on the luxury. The top-of-the-line XR7 was lined with wood-grain paneling and had a range of options, including power leather seats, electric windows,...

Here is a nice classic. very similar to it's cousin the Mustang, at a much lower price. It is a great way to go for someone looking to get into the classic car hobby with a respectful car that has a lot going for it. The owner recently restored & repainted the exterior, and did some interior freshening up. Paint quality is very nice, something you don't get from your typical tape and spray paint shop. The red with white top, chrome Ford wheels and white letter tires look very sporty, and it is fun to drive! This car was built at the end of February to early March 1973, and came with 11 factory options to the tune of a $4853. 96 retail. The 351 Cleveland 2Bbl was standard, and give more than enough power to give it the muscle care feel. Factory options included radial tires, convenience group, power steering, tilt steering wheel, power drivers seat, front horizontal rub strips, air conditioning,...

This Cougar is painted a bright Aqua blue with white landau vinyl top and white interior. This car is hard to ignore and easy to find in any parking lot. The striking Aqua blue paint is so smooth that the shine seems three inches deep and the white contrast nicely. This 1973 Cougar is not just good looking but with the 351 Cleveland under the hood this Cougar can still chase down a couple of Mustangs for lunch. When I was going over this car before doing this description, I was very impress with how tidy it is. Under the hood, the interior, lets face it this car is clean! The white high back bucket seat up front are clean and in great shape, the center console is in place and looks great and even the eight-track player is still in the dash. Now you are wondering if that toys in the attic eight track still works or is it Charlie Pride? Well time to start digging through the hall...

For 1971, the Cougar was restyled, weighed less, and had only a one-inch-longer wheelbase than its predecessors. The front end now featured four exposed headlights; the disappearing headlights were eliminated. The center grille piece was now larger, sharing its appearance with the 1971 Mercury Cyclone. The rear featured a semi fastback with a 'flying buttress' sail-panel. The convertible returned, as did the XR-7 and the GT package. Enough about history! This lovely example is one of 1,635 built and is equipped with the 351 2 Barrel Cleveland V8 H Code engine mated to an automatic transmission. This is a true survivor car. This Cougar is a factory-equipped AC car. The powder Blue looks great and will stand out in any crowd. The convertible top is white and really sets off the Powder Blue paint. The interior has been done in white leather with blue carpeting and dash. If you're looking for a stylish Mercury Cougar that you can drop the top on and enjoy the summer breeze, call...
