About this vehicleThis 1979 Mercury Cougar XR7 is mostly original with one repaint ten years ago. I have owned it less than 3 months. It had been in climate-controlled storage since 2014, part of a private collection, which explains the excellent condition of the car. This car is absolutely rust-free from top to bottom! The vehicle was recently serviced with all new brakes; the carburetor was rebuilt; a complete engine tune-up; a restored factory air-breather was added; all new belts and hoses where added; and four (4) new tires installed as part of a $4,000-plus maintenance update! Everything from new wiper blades to a wax job was done! In the interest of full disclosure, some of the anodized aluminum moldings have some scratches and dings, but I and patiently searched and found every piece of molding for this car in NOS condition, and that will go with the car too. It has a clear title with 65,900 miles. I verified the mileage through the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles because Carfax only goes back to 1981. The XR7 package came with items such as mag wheels with beauty rims; in-dash tachometer; full-gauge instrumentation; an AM/ FM stereo with 4 speakers and 8-track player (which still works believe it or not); power antenna, A/C; Ride Engineering Suspension; cruise control; intermittent wipers; power windows and more! The interior is basically flawless with no rips tears or even discolorations. It is a good solid car with a current inspection sticker. It would be an excellent daily driver or a show car for weekends. I'll even throw in a brand-new hail resistant car cover that I bought but never used, and a monogrammed dash cover (not needed because the dash is perfect) but you can have that too! Now, you may be asking why would a person put all this money and time into a car and then sell it promptly? The reason is simple: I have two disabled hands and cannot do anything to the car myself. I bought the car thinking I could -- but I can't. I even have to have someone put fluids in it because I can't lift the hood myself ... $500 Deposit required. Balance due upon delivery or pick-up.
