Description of 1968 Mercury Cougar XR7

I have for sale a one owner, 80,000 actual mile survivor car. Car was sold at Dick Price in Wichita Kansas 50 years ago. Car lived its whole lif, in a garage, owned by one owner until she passed. Car was cared for and loved. 10 years ago car was parked. The owner had become to old to continue driving. Recently she passed. Put a new battery in. Drained the gas, and oil, changed the plugs, flushed the cooling system and fuel system, had the carb rebuilt, put KYB shocks all around, rear shocks had never been changed. Got 4 new radial tires, greased and lubed the front end, added a monte carlo bar, made the disc brakes functional and drove it a couple hundred miles to make sure it would start and drive as it should. I have the Deluxe Marti Report. Have a picture of it but car still has the 302 4v V-8 engine, Lime Frost paint, Nugget gold leather bucket seats, Ivory Vinyl top, console, power disc brakes, power steering, working AM radio, tinted glas, deluxe seat belts, C-4 select shift automatic transmission with a 3.00 conventional rear axle. ALL OF THESE COMPONENTS ARE STILL ORIGINAL TO TH CAR. The car is LASER STRAIGHT, doors shut as if magnets are pulling them home. Car is a museum piece. Car is an unrestored 50 year old car. It has some small rust spots, not many. Has some bumps and bruises, it has been used but not abused but shows signs of being 50 years old. Floors are CLEAN AND RUST FREE. Car drives tight and responsive. As you drive you notice the car has 50 pounds of oil pressure, temp stays right at mid line. Trip meter in the speedo works perfectly. Tach has quit working and the A/C blows cool with the fan kicking on. Still has R12. Fuel gauge move, but I'm not sure its accurate. The hidden headlight doors raise when turned on but have not closed on its own since I have been getting it ready for sale. The sequential tail lights have been working intermittently. Horn, light, interior lights, including seat belt light all work as they should. This is a straight, extremely solid, survivor XR7. 50 years old and drives steers, stops. A perfect driver that could win car shows as an original car. The car has had some paint and parts replaced formaintenance under the hood . The driver seat shows wear, rest of interior is incredible. Stated befor, underside is remarkably straight and rust free. There are some rust spots pictured and somelinks, donks, bumps and bruises, very minor relative to a 50 year old unrestored car. Car is sold with an open title from the estate. BID BABY BID!reasonable reserve Questions will be answered quick and honestly. VERY HIGH QUALITY COUGAR!
