1971 Mercury Cougar XR7 351Ci 2V V8 Convertible

In 1971 total Mercury Cougar production numbers amounted to 62,864 vehicles, stark contrast to 1967 numbers of 150,893. Only 1,717 of the 62,864 manufactured would earn XR-7 convertible status. Of the 1,717 that became XR-7 convertibles, ONLY 22 were produced with this paint code (Black, Ford #1724-A) and trim package. Offered here is a fine example of a rare Cougar XR7 convertible. This vehicle has one quality repaint in original Ford color and the original red carpet was replaced with black. Otherwise, she's original, right down to the perfectly fitted power black convertible top with glass backlite which easily buttons right into place. You'll ride on comfortable Hi back bucket seats with your hands gripping the rim blow tilt steering wheel. Concealed windshield wipers, really cool sequential turn signals; a long, low, wide, road gripping stance make this one pleasurable drive. Heads will turn, questions will be asked and you’ll be living an experience.
