1973 MERCURY COUGAR XR7 CONVERTIBLE

Initially sold to T.J Koen of Bowling Green, Kentucky on January 12, 1973, the auto is brand new from a rotisserie restoration to as-revamped, showroom condition.

Portage's 351/264 HP Cleveland motor heads the supplies record that incorporates power directing and front disc brakes, double fumes, chromed Magnum 500 wheels with raised White letter tires and ventilating.
