For Sale: 1971 Mercury Cougar in McDonald, Pennsylvania

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.
