'79 Cougar XR-7 for sale.

Having only 1 Previous owner in 45 years and garage kept its whole life stateside, it really is a beautiful example.

Powered by the original 351 through to a 3 speed auto, both having been rebuilt less than 15, 000 miles ago, now boasting a PP intake manifold, Edelbrock Performer AFB 4bbl carb and a nice dual exhaust system w/ balancer and polished Gibson tips.
The lack of smog restrictions, power steering and power brakes makes driving this cougar a pleasure.

The body is super straight and dent free, the bright work is great.
The re-finished metallic black is to a great standard.

Underneath is completely solid and clean.

The Vinyl roof is as new.
