This is a numbers matching, original, professionally restored '72 Mercury Cougar XR7 convertible
Everything on the car has been either replaced (new or NOS parts), rebuilt, or refurbished.
Car has been driven for only about 7.000 miles since restoration.
Car lived most of its life in Alabama and has received loving care since being in Maine. To be sure the car has never seen snow.
Car has; Rebuilt 351 Cleveland V8 engine with new cam to add additional power and give that nice rumble sound from the exhaust we all love.
Rebuilt FMX automatic transmission

New professional paint job in "competition blue" with a beautiful mirror finish
New interior, including; new dash pad - new white leather seats - new white door panels - and new black carpeting -
New stereo system with "retro radio" which looks like the original but sounds 100% better.
Rebuilt taillight system - (wiring and so on) - the sequential turn signals work perfectly
All gauges work as they should except the clock. And that's right twice a day.
Absolutely no rust anywhere

Only defect is two small cracks in the driver's side inner door panel. (Barely noticeable)
This car can be driven anywhere, including long distances, with complete confidence.
