1969 MERCURY COUGAR XR7 1:64 Diecast, Opening Hood, RRs

Up for auction is a loose Johnny Lightning approx 1:64 scale 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 in Red (1969 Mercury Factory Paint Code T) with a Black vinyl roof.

Although I hope it is difficult to tell from the realistic photos in this listing, this diecast is only approximately 2-3/4" long, so many of the photos are larger than actual size. For those who are interested in true scale modeling, I cannot verify whether or not this diecast is true 1:64 scale because most Johnny Lightning castings tend to be smaller than true 1:64 scale and neither the chassis nor the original packaging are marked with a scale specification as is done by other brands such as Matchbox and GreenLight. The man in overalls figure in the photos is taller than 6 feet in scale dimensions and he appears in all of my photos for my customers to make a relative scale comparison to other diecasts I have up for auction.

This 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 diecast replica features the following details:

• an opening hood with flat black engine bay and Ford Blue 351-cid V8 motor
• silver sloping side trim strips
• silver "Cougar" script logos on the rear fenders and on the front fender above the driver side headlight
• silver & black Mercury herald logo in the center of the taillight strip
• silver "XR7" badge on the trunk lip
• silver circular Mercury Cougar XR7 badge on the C-pillars
• silver window frames, vinyl top trim, rocker panel strips, wheel well trim, grille & taillight surrounds, and bumpers
• silver and gray horizontally slatted grille (with closed flip-up headlights) and flat red vertical badge in the center bulge
• flat white fog lights under the front bumper, marker lights on the front fenders, and marker lights on either side of the taillight strip
• flat red marker lights on the rear fenders
• silver & flat red rear taillight strip
• Charcoal Black interior with clear windows
• metal chassis with drivetrain and dual exhaust system details
• "Real Wheels" white-letter "Uniroyal Tiger Paw F70-15" treaded rubber tires on 5-spoke chrome wheels

Shipping & Payment Details (please do not bid if you do not agree to these conditions):

• Because of eBay's new rules for only allowing electronic payments, the only form of payment I can now accept is PayPal. But, customers who have bought items from me in the past and have mailed a non-electronic payment may continue to pay by that method - this is the only exception to eBay's new electronic payment rule.
• All of my 1:64 diecasts are shipped in a resealable plastic bag, wrapped by bubble-wrap, completely surrounded by styrofoam chips in a new 6" x 4" x 4" cardboard box (or larger if needed for combined auction wins). Please check my feedback for customer testimonials about how well my items are packed for shipping.
• USA bidders: agree to pay $4.50 for shipping anywhere within the USA.
• Canada bidders: agree to pay for shipping via USPS First Class Mail International for $5.03 (that does NOT provide a tracking number and an estimated delivery time is NOT provided by the USPS) or via USPS Priority Mail International for $20.00 (with an estimated delivery time of 6 to 10 days and provides a tracking number).
• Non-USA/Non-Canada bidders: shipping to anywhere other than the USA or Canada is ONLY available via USPS Priority Mail International. I'm sorry, but I no longer offer the cheaper USPS 1st Class Mail International shipping option because the 1st Class Mail service does not offer a tracking number and I have been burned by international customers claiming they never received their items after I shipped them - without a tracking number I have no proof that the item was received and therefore PayPal forces me to issue a full refund. Please use the shipping rate calculator for an exact quote.
  • Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
  • Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
  • I will NOT mark the item as a gift nor will I provide a false declared value, so please do not ask me to do so.
• Payment must be received within 10 days of auction end or else an Unpaid Item Dispute will be filed with eBay so that I can start the process of receiving a refund for my auction closing fees (I only have a limited time to make the refund request).
• The combined shipping policy of only $1.00 more for each additional 1:64 diecast shipped in the same package ONLY applies to auction items won on the same Sunday and/or eBay 2nd Chance Offer made the same day or the following Monday.
