My Cat..

A Mercury Cougar XR7 Convertible 1970 with a 351C-4V, a 4 speed Hurst-Toploader and 3:25 Trac-Loc. This is a H-code and not a number matching car.

The motor and transmission comes from a Mustang -70 due to the ID- numbers. The motor got an overhaul 1986, i have a bundle of reciepts of that. The car is hardly driven at all after that. The car and motor runs really strong.

I bougth the car from Garden Grove, CA in 2010.
It is totaly rust free and i have done a repaint to its original color, somewhere down the line somebody resprayed it red.

I also have replaced all rubber seals and put on a set of 15" Cougar Styled Steel Wheels with BF G:s 255 in rear and 235 in front.

The car had been sitting in a garage for over 20 years and got a overhauled carb, a new gas tank, carpet and a new conv. top. before i shipped it overseas to me here i Sweden.

In August 2010 the odo read 49161 miles.
I have a invoice from 1986 with the odo written down, it says 43960 miles.

This Cat is a early -70. It had a 351W-2V and auto transm.
White top w glass and white interior with black appointments.
Now the interior is all black.

This is 1 of 12 registered XR7 conv. 1970 in Sweden.
The Cat is in exellent shape and only needs som minor things fixed to be perfect. Door handles, back-up lights, rear conv. mouldings arent perfect but isnt that bad either. I have the original rocker mouldings, the trunk moulding have a minor dent. I've pimped the car with a Eliminator gas lid emblem.

It is a original AC car and i have it still, but i deassembled it due to it was out of order and i think its overkill with AC, atleast up here in north of Europe.
