Capture the essence of 1970s luxury and muscle with this stunning
1971 Mercury Cougar Convertible. Dressed in a vibrant,
period-correct Light Goldenrod yellow with a crisp white power top,
this "luxury cat" is the ultimate cruiser for those who want to
stand out from the Mustang crowd. The Pedigree - A Lifetime in the
Sun. This isn't your typical rusty barn find. This Cougar has spent
its entire life in Hollywood California, benefitting from the dry,
salt-free climate. The result is a remarkably solid chassis and
body that retains the structural integrity often lost in vehicles
from harsher climates. It is a true "black plate" era survivor in
spirit, showing the pride of West Coast ownership. A Marti Report
confirms the car's pedigree. The car benefits from one repaint with
the correct stripes done in paint - not decals. The bold yellow
finish perfectly complements the aggressive, elongated lines of the
'71 redesign. The new paint shines beautifully against the chrome
bumpers and sequential taillights. The White Convertible Top which
works perfectly provides a sharp, high-contrast look when up and
operates smoothly for those days when you want the wind in your
hair. The upholstery, dash, and door panels have been
well-preserved, evoking a premium "gentleman's muscle car" feel.
The 351-2V engine runs perfectly and has recently had new correct
plug wires and hoses. The car also benefits from new BF Goodrich
tires and new exhaust. The entire air conditioning system has been
overhauled which included a new compressor, lines, valves condenser
and dryer. This is a rare opportunity to own a well-documented,
rust-free piece of Mercury history. Whether you're cruising the
Pacific Coast Highway or heading to your local Saturday morning car
meet, this Cougar is ready to turn heads and provide miles of
smiles. We strongly recommend, welcome, and encourage personal or
