1978 Mercury Cougar XR7 - $4,650 - Jamestown, NY - 1978 Mercury Cougar XR7 2-Dr Coupe XR-7, A true classic that helped define the highly popular personal luxury coupe segment of the time, this 1978 Mercury Cougar XR-7 was a real head-turner in its day. And it didn't hurt that Farrah Fawcett and Cheryl Tiegs helped advertise this vehicle. But alas, beauty fades and time marches on. But sometimes all that is needed is a bit of TLC to bring it back to its former self - I am of course referring to this car. Offered today is a one-owner vehicle I personally ordered in May of 1978. In those days it was common practice to order the vehicle of your choice and choose from an extensive list of options, whatever you desired. In about 4-6 weeks your beauty arrived from the factory, tailor-made. Below I have listed all the features of this vehicle. Although this car still has its original metal, vinyl, paint and interior there is some work needed. I am confident that is is not extensive. For starters, a good cleaning is necessary. The interior is just about excellent, but again a cleaning needed. There are also a handful of small spots that need to be painted. To be honest I would love if you could come to take a look for yourself. Some background info- this car has been garaged all of its life, never driven in snow and not been in an accident. After graduating from college I moved to NYC and left it in the care of my Dad who stored it in a garage. For years it has been started and moved in and out of the garage periodically, however it is time to allow someone else to bring this car back to its heyday and enjoy driving it.
