For sale in our Chicago showroom is this impressive 1971 Mercury
Cougar XR7. With a monstrous 429 CID V8 thumping away under the
hood paired with a C6 3-speed automatic transmission this Cougar
was built to move. However, the 3-speed leaves a bit to be desired,
so some work needed to be done. An overdrive/underdrive unit was
installed at the back of the trans effectively splitting all the
gears making it operate similarly to a 6-speed transmission with
overdrive. Paired with the mode done to the engine, this is an
incredibly fun power-cruiser. Believed to be a numbers-matching
vehicle and proven to be a true 429 car by the included Marti
report, this is definitely a rare car! The metallic blue paint pop
in the sunlight and contrasts beautifully against the white vinyl
interior and landau top. A dual-mode exhaust lets you keep it quiet
and respectable for cruising around the neighborhood while a flip
of the switch turns it into a fire-breathing monster letting out
apocalyptic thunder from the exhaust. This 1971 Mercury Cougar is
sure to get your heart pumping. Options include: Air-Conditioning,
AM/FM/CD, Spare Tire, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Jack, Tilt
Steering Wheel, Seat Belts, Vinyl Interior, Radial Tires with
Raised White Letters, Rally Wheels, and Posi Traction rear axle.
