Description:

Please read ALL information included in this listing. Thank you! If you have less than 10 feedbacks, please CONTACT US BEFORE BIDDING or we will cancel your bid. 1971 Mercury Cougar XR7 2 door coupe. Equipment includes power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, automatic transmission, am radio (works), 351 with 2 bbl carburetor. This car is usable as-is, but with some minor cosmetic improvements could make a very nice car. It is complete, but needs a new vinyl top and new door panels. The dash pad is cracked so you may want to do something about it too. Very minimal amount of rust behind the passenger side wheel well. Has dings, dents, and scrapes. Overall this is a very solid car. Trunk floor and floor pans seem good. Metal under vinyl top is good without any rust issues. We have had the following items replaced / maintenance performed on the car: new gas tank, fuel pump, carb has been rebuilt, new plugs, fuel filter, brake rotors and pads, new headlight dimmer switch, new battery tray, new negative battery cable and part of positive cable (section from solonoid to battery), new upper and lower radiator hoses, and new exterior door handle to replace the one that was broken on passenger door. Brand new set of four black wall 14 tires have been installed and have only about 150 miles on them. The turn signals work; however, the left signal must be turned on and off manually at the stalk (to make it blink) - sequencer does not work properly. The right side turn signal / sequencer works fine. Horn is not working (actually, the horn itself works, but there is some issue with the rim blow wheel - the horn works because it honks continuously when connected which is why it was disconnected, and I've left it that way). We have taken many pictures of the Cougar but are limited to the number we can include in the listing. So we do have more - please ask for others. We have a clear title (in our names) and keys. Mileage indicated in the listing details is not accurate, nor is the VIN. E-mail requests for additional pictures. (We have lots more photos but are limited to 12 for this listing.)
There is NO SHIPPING for this car unless you as buyer arrange for it via a third party shipper. This is a running and driving car, but we have not personally driven it any long distances so cannot guarantee its roadworthiness.
Buyer is responsible for all costs of delivery/pick up. Seller will cooperate as much as possible regarding pickup.
We are located in Southwest Missouri, within an hour of both Joplin and Springfield, Missouri, near Hwy 60, South of I-44. The zip code for a town nearby is 65605.
