1979 Mercury Cougar XR-7

This 1979 Mercury Cougar XR-7 two-door hardtop is finished in Dark Red (code 2M) with a partial black vinyl roof, chrome accents, quad headlights, Cougar hood ornament, dual side mirrors, and chrome bumpers — classic late-1970s personal-luxury coupe styling. Lower rocker panels, front fascia, and bumper fillers were repainted under current ownership, with other touch-ups noted; body remains solid with low-mileage preservation.

The 351ci V8 with two-barrel carburetor delivers smooth, adequate torque via Select-Shift three-speed automatic to rear wheels, suited for relaxed cruising. Power steering and power-assisted front disc brakes (rear drums) provide easy control; drivetrain consistent with mileage, no major issues reported.

Dark Red vinyl upholsters front and rear seats, with woodgrain trim on dashboard and door panels, power windows, cruise control, AM/FM stereo, air conditioning, and tilt steering column. Cabin is spacious and well-preserved; clock non-functional, but overall honest low-mileage condition.

Two-owner survivor with 19k miles (10 added recently) and clean Texas title. Acquired by dealer in 2025; solid example of 1970s Mercury personal luxury with XR-7 trim, factory options, and authentic character. Affordable, comfortable driver-quality car ideal for straightforward cruising and period appeal.
