This is a very nice example of a VERY RARE and hard to find 1970 Cougar XR-7 Convertible. Mercury made less than 2000 of these cars to begin with. It's very difficult to put a price on it insofar is there are very few for sale. These cars usually change hands privately.
This car has a very nice original interior that is amazing considering the car is unrestored. The exterior was repainted in its original hue about 15 years ago, and has few few road miles since then, and is great for a driver. The car is very solid, with all original sheet metal. No patches in any sheet metal, dry floors. This is not a rot box or "bondo buggy". Everything works on this car as well, from the sequential tail lights to the hidden headlights. The car drives straight and rattle free, a true testament to being a original low mileage car. The chrome and brightwork is damn near perfect. Car runs great and needs nothing at this point to drive and enjoy! No need for silly questions about this car. This is as nice as they come in a "unrestored" state.
This car needs nothing to drive and enjoy. More pictures and video coming shortly. Note- I have the spare tire, jack, and all fiberboard panels for the trunk, I just removed them to show potential buyers the immaculate condition of the trunk, including factory paint in trunk. I am a avid Mercury collector, and you DONT see trunks this nice, ever.
Haggerty price guide values the car at $26,000 in #3 condition...I'm going to discount that price substantially. PRICE IS NON NEGOTIABLE...THIS IS THE LOWEST AMOUNT I WILL ACCEPT...
Try and FIND another.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
