Vehicle Description
Worldwide Vintage Autos is pleased to present this 1973 Mercury
Cougar XR-7 convertible 4 speed 351.
HISTORY
Aside from minor grille and taillight changes, 1973 would be
largely a carryover year for the Cougar, but it would mark the last
year of the Mustang-based Cougar and the final run of Cougar
convertibles; a light blue/white Cougar XR-7 convertible was
actually the "last" convertible built by Ford Motor Company in the
1970s. An automatic transmission and power front disc brakes became
standard, though a 4-speed manual transmission was still available
as a rarely ordered option. Many changes were scheduled for the
1973 models. Power figures continued to change, as new federal/EPA
regulations began their stranglehold on the V8 engines. The new
figures continued to fluctuate, but engine options remained
unchanged from 1972. The standard engine continued to be the 168 hp
(125 kW) 351 Cleveland two-barrel V8. Optional was the 264 hp (197
kW) 351 Cobra Jet V8. SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA
