Up for auction is this complete 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 convertible.  I would call this car a parts car or an ambitious project, so please look closely at the pictures before you bid. 

 

This car could be used by someone to convert his existing 1969 or 1970 Cougar convertible to an XR7. Also, someone doing a Mustang Mach One small block can clean up, paint and detail the engine and use it.  All the front dress for a correct, Power Steering and Air Conditioned car.  I don’t know about you, but tracking down all the pieces for the front of an engine, even if they aren’t rare, is a royal pain.  Buy this car and avoid the hassle.

 

H code 2bbl Windsor
Black (now red)
White interior
3.00:1 open rear axle
FMX automatic transmission

AM/FM Stereo (now missing)
Air conditioning
Power Steering
Manual drum brakes

Data Plate: 76B A FA 27B 16 6 X


The engine compartment is nearly bone stock, complete and original, including all the front dress items (pulley and brackets) including the A/C. It has the original "Ford" logo radiator (A/C 3-row) and fan shroud. The whole engine compartment could be lifted out, cleaned, painted and reassembled into a GT350, Mustang Mach One clone or other Ford. There is currently a Holley 2bbl carb on it, but the original is in the trunk.  If you are using this 351 Windsor setup, you are probably going to convert it to a 4 barrel anyway.  Everything is date-coded.  The engine starts and runs without any noise or smoke.  There’s an exhaust leak, but that comes from the rusted out muffler.

The interior is also nearly complete. The door panels are dirty, but not bad. Door pulls cracked or missing. Complete seats (will need recovering).  It has a full center console with a perfect 3-bump arm rest lid, correct deluxe seat belts (unique for a convertible and different XR7 to Standard Cougar). The only items I see missing in the interior are the armrests, radio and the convertible top switch. Rim-blow steering wheel, full gauge cluster, switches, etc. are all present.

 

All XR7-specific trim is there, including the convertible top well trim, door caps, etc. The hood lip and passenger eyebrow are good cores. Driver’s eyebrow is toast. Driver’s headlight grille assembly is a good core, passenger side is cracked but there’s a replacement in the trunk.  Center piece is missing. Front bumper is a good core. Front gravel shield is useable. Rear chrome trim is pitted beyond redemption, but I would buy replacements anyway. Rear valence is badly damaged, and rear bumper is bent, but I have a good core rear bumper to go with the car.

 

The car runs and drives, but needs a brake job to be safe.  I wouldn’t drive it as is.  The rear brake lights and cool Cougar sequential turn indicators work too!  When was the last time you saw that on a barn find?

There is rust and lots of it and in lots of places. Maybe too much to fix economically, but you can make the call.  The rear quarters are badly rusted and even more badly repaired, inner frame rails are gone.  The doors and trunk lid are OK, but I think the hood is done.  The convertible top and mechanism to include the latch-down pieces is complete and working. The top is actually good for a driver car. The rear folding glass rear window is toast.

Basically, this is a complete and original Cougar XR7 convertible that can be used as a donor for someone converting a standard convertible.  There’s got to be someone out there doing a Mustang Mach One, Cougar or a clone that can use this engine compartment.

Located near Milford, PA 18337. Clear NJ title. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, but I can help with arrangements.
