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.
