Vehicle description
IM SELLING A 1968 MERCURY COUGAR XR7. IT HAS A 302 ENGINE AND AN AUTOMATIC FMX TRANSMISSION. THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ARE BOTH IN GOOD SHAPE. THE CARBURETOR WAS JUST REPLACED BUT COULD USE A SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT ON THE AIR FUEL MIXTURE. FIRST THING IN THE MORNING YOU NEED TO PUMP THE GAS PEDAL 6 TIMES AND THAN IT WILL START. AFTER IT IS WARMED UP, IT WILL START RIGHT UP. THE HEADLINER AND VINYL TOP WERE REPLACED A FEW YEARS AGO. IT HAS 4 WHEEL DRUM BRAKES AND STOPS NO PROBLEM. IT HAS CRAGERS ON THE FRONT AND REAR. THE CAR COULD USE A RESTORATION. IT IS A 50 YEAR OLD CAR AND HAS SOME CONCERNS SUCH AS: THE HEADLIGHTS WILL OPEN WITH THE SWITCH BUT WILL HAVE TO BE CLOSED BY HAND, HEAT AND A/C DOESN"T WORK, THE FRONT SEATS ARE HARD MOUNTED TO THE FRAME AND ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE, ETC. I USE THIS CAR AS MY DAILY DRIVER. I DRIVE TO WORK ABOUT 20 MILES EACH WAY, AND I HAVE NO TROUBLE GETTING THERE AND BACK. THE ONLY THING THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION IS THE POWER ASSIST CONTROL VALVE LEAKS WHEN YOU TURN THE WHEEL FROM A DEAD STOP. THE REBUILD KIT IS $30 AND A NEW VALVE IS $117 ONLINE. I MAY FIX THE VALVE BUT AT THIS PRESENT TIME IT IS LEAKING. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS DONT HESITATE TO ASK. NO QUESTION IS A BAD QUESTION. THIS VEHICLE WILL BE SOLD AS-IS WHERE-IS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. GOOD LUCK.
