Ford Mercury Cougar XR 7 (1973)
Kickdown's Take
by Louis KalendruschatThe Mercury Cougar XR-7 is the luxury version of the Cougar model series and offers plenty of comfort: it comes equipped with air conditioning, power windows, and power steering. Under the hood is a classic 5.7-liter V8 engine. The car has been completely repainted, and its last service was in July 2026, so the Cougar is ready to hit the open road!

Comments of this past auction
Technik: Auch der Cougar musste danach in der Modellpalette von Mercury neu definiert werden. Die Modellreihe war mit Scheiben- und Trommelbremsen vorne und hinten ausgestattet, ab 1973 wurde der Bremskraftverstärker zum Standard. Die zweite Generation war die letzte vom Ford Mustang abgeleitete Version und die letzte Version, die als Cabrio angeboten wurde. Ein hellblau/weißes 1973er Cougar XR-7 Cabriolet war das „letzte“ Cabriolet, das von der Ford Motor Company gebaut wurde, da die amerikanischen Hersteller die Montage von Cabrios in den 1970er Jahren in Erwartung erhöhter Überschlagsicherheitsstandards einstellten.
