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 5 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. , 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! This is as nice as they come in a "unrestored" state.
This car needs nothing to drive and enjoy. 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.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
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.
