Seller's Notes: ** SECOND GENERATION (1971-1973) MERCURY COUGAR XR-7 WITH ITS 351 CLEVELAND ENGINE. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SAYS THAT A LIGHT BLUE ON WHITE XR-7 WAS THE LAST CONVERTIBLE ASSEMBLED BY THEM (AT THE TIME FOR SAFETY REASONS)....COULD IT BE THIS CAR? WE DON'T KNOW THAT UNFORTUNATELY.... SO WE ARE OFFERING THIS 1973 AS A NICE DRIVER! GREAT COLOR COMBINATION, QUESTIONABLE COSMETICS (WAVY PAINT ALL AROUND, FEW DINGS AND DENTS, SMALL RIP IN THE SOFT TOP, FATIGUE ON THE INSIDE, COUPLE OF GAUGES INOPERABLE,....) BUT THIS XR-7 STILL PRESENTS WELL FOR 51 YEARS OF AGE! NO NEED TO SAY THAT CONVERTIBLES XR-7 ARE IN HOT DEMAND AND THE PRICES ARE GOING UP LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW. ONLY 3,166 MADE ALL TOGETHER IN 1973 FOR THE LAST YEAR. NOW ICING ON THE CAKE IS THAT MY CLIENT SPENT TONS OF MONEY ON THE TECHNICAL SIDE AND THIS XR-7 DRIVES REALLY WELL AND SOUNDS PERFECT. QUICK, TIGHT, STRAIGHT AND VIBRATIONS FREE ......

PLEASE DON'T EXPECT WHAT IT'S NOT....THE RUNNING IS GREAT, THE REST OF THAT XR-7 NEEDS SOME LEVEL OF RESTORATION.
