Vehicle Description
5029-TPA 1979 MERCURY COUGAR XR7
Finished in Medium Dark Orange with a sheen that catches every ray
of light, the 1979 Mercury Cougar XR7 stands as Ford's luxury
answer to the muscle car era. The elegant coupe silhouette with its
cream vinyl top creates a sophisticated profile that defines late
70s automotive design. Aluminum wheels wrapped in 225/75R15 tires
provide both solid stance and handling capabilities. Chrome bumpers
and trim shine brilliantly against the orange exterior,
highlighting the clean body lines and distinctive Cougar logo.
Saddle Tan vinyl adorns the interior, creating a warm and inviting
cabin environment. Split-bench seats offer plush comfort for long
drives while maintaining the sporty character expected from the XR7
badge. The dashboard presents in excellent condition with clear
gauges and attractive wood-grain trim that adds a touch of
sophistication. Column shift controls the automatic transmission
with ease, while power steering makes navigation effortless. Air
conditioning keeps occupants comfortable, and the AM/FM radio
provides entertainment for the open road. Door panels and
touchpoints remain in exceptional condition throughout.
A potent 351 V8 engine powers this Cougar, delivering strong
acceleration through its 3-speed automatic transmission. The engine
bay displays excellent factory-correct presentation with all
components in good working order. The fuel delivery comes from a
single 2-barrel carburetor for reliable performance. Power disc
brakes provide confident stopping capability. Front suspension
features coils with shocks while the rear utilizes coil springs,
shocks, trailing arms, and a stabilizer bar for balanced handling.
A single exhaust with aftermarket muffler produces a satisfying
tone without overwhelming the luxury experience.
