Finished in Medium Dark Orange with a sheen that catches every ray of light, the 1979 Mercury Cougar XR7 stands as Ford's luxury answer to the muscle car era. The elegant coupe silhouette with its cream vinyl top creates a sophisticated profile that defines late 70s automotive design. Aluminum wheels wrapped in 225/75R15 tires provide both solid stance and handling capabilities. Chrome bumpers and trim shine brilliantly against the orange exterior, highlighting the clean body lines and distinctive Cougar logo.
Saddle Tan vinyl adorns the interior, creating a warm and inviting cabin environment. Split-bench seats offer plush comfort for long drives while maintaining the sporty character expected from the XR7 badge. The dashboard presents in excellent condition with clear gauges and attractive wood-grain trim that adds a touch of sophistication. Column shift controls the automatic transmission with ease, while power steering makes navigation effortless. Air conditioning keeps occupants comfortable, and the AM/FM radio provides entertainment for the open road. Door panels and touchpoints remain in exceptional condition throughout.
A potent 351 V8 engine powers this Cougar, delivering strong acceleration through its 3-speed automatic transmission. The engine bay displays excellent factory-correct presentation with all components in good working order. The fuel delivery comes from a single 2-barrel carburetor for reliable performance. Power disc brakes provide confident stopping capability. Front suspension features coils with shocks while the rear utilizes coil springs, shocks, trailing arms, and a stabilizer bar for balanced handling. A single exhaust with aftermarket muffler produces a satisfying tone without overwhelming the luxury experience.
