Description:

1970 Mercury Cougar XR7 Convertible. Only 1, 997 XR7 convertibles were ever built in 1970, and this one has been a California car it's entire life. I bought this Cougar 5 years ago and am the 3rd owner and have driven it about 3, 000 miles. This Cougar was first sold at Dick Anderson Ford-Mercury in Madera, California 93637. It then made its way to the Bay Area with the original owner and has been in this area since. It was originally Deep Gold Metallic. Interior is original Ginger with Ginger leather on front seats. This is one loaded XR7 Convertible as it was ordered with almost every option available. (See Marti report)
