This 1972 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Convertible is an original Arizona car with the kind of long-term ownership and preservation that is increasingly difficult to find. The Blue-on-Blue combination with a White convertible top gives this Cougar a great period look, while the original body panels, rust-free presentation and original-style interior retain the character of the car. Under the hood is a 351ci V8 backed by an automatic transmission, with both the engine and transmission rebuilt approximately 5,000 miles ago. The XR-7 also retains its factory gauge package, tachometer dash, AM/FM stereo and original air-conditioning equipment.
