Are you the type of person that likes to own unique pieces? Well, it does not get much more unique than this --71 Cougar. At first glance you may think, what is that? It is not your average looking --67 Cougar. This --71 Cougar exudes a classy, sophisticated attitude. The Wembledon White adds to the upscale feel along with the white convertible top. The body of this beauty is in excellent shape and shows well with the bright chrome.

Take a look at the interior and you-ll quickly notice this --71 Cougar is triple white. Talk about a clean looking car! The interior is comfortable yet sporty. Everything about the inside of this car screams relaxing, but the -T- handle 4-speed says otherwise. One look at the shifter and you will quickly realize you are in for a treat when you sit in the driver-s bucket seat.

If the transmission did not reveal this is a -Muscle Car-, the 429 Cobra Jet Ram Air surely will. There were only three engine options available in 1971 with the 429 Cobra Jet four-barrel V8 being the biggest of them all. The matching numbers 429 Cobra Jet puts out a ground pounding 370 horse...

With a monstrous 429 CID V8 thumping away under the hood paired with a C6 3-speed automatic transmission this Cougar was built to move. However, the 3-speed leaves a bit to be desired, so some work needed to be done. An overdrive/underdrive unit was installed at the back of the trans effectively splitting all the gears making it operate similarly to a 6-speed transmission with overdrive. Paired with the mode done to the engine, this is an incredibly fun power-cruiser.

Believed to be a numbers-matching vehicle and proven to be a true 429 car by the included Marti report, this is definitely a rare car! The metallic blue paint pop in the sunlight and contrasts beautifully against the white vinyl interior and landau top. A dual-mode exhaust lets you keep...

This Beautiful Red With White Top, not often seen 1972 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Convertible, is an eye catcher. Under the Hood is a rebuilt ( about 750 miles ago) 351 C. I. Cleveland V8, matted to a rebuilt at the same time and miles, 3 speed FMX Automatic. For 1972 there were only 1,929 XR-7 convertible produced. In 1967, the world-famous race car driver Dan Gurney signed with Lincoln-Mercury to race in the FIA Group II, SCCA Trans Am and A-Sedan Series Competition as team manager for the Cougar Racing Team. His name and image were used to promote the Cougar that first year with great success both on and off the track. Mercury Cougar is a nameplate applied to a diverse series of automobiles sold by the Mercury division of Ford from 1967 to 1997, Mercury Cougar starts with the Mustang's platform, they stretched the wheelbase (for the Second Generation, it's Similar in size and performance, of the Mercury Cyclone) for more rear-seat room and added plenty of luxury features to make it a more sophisticated alternative to the original pony car.

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,...
