Well, after i had some minor mechanical issues with the bonneville, which have now been fixed, i bought a 1983 Mercury Cougar. It was old, i thought it was cool, had a V8 among other things, and started plans to replace the engine with a 351. well, I just ended up buying another car! my now third running driving car is a 1974 Mercury Cougar XR7 with that coveted 351 in it! and its leather!












Yeah its huge, 2 inches short of 18 feet long!

Wow, that is a boat. And only two doors.

I love it! That'* an awesome color combo. Green with white leather.

Sweet car! My dad had a 72 Cougar for his second car. It was green, so I guess it was that color.There'* just something about the big 2 door boats I like

Nice ride.

That rear seat looks like an expensive couch. Why can't they make interiors like that anymore?

Very sweet find. XR7'* are hard to find in driving condition or restored.

yeah, Im really happy with it. the seats are awesome, like they've never been sat in!

thats a really sweet ride..total uncle buck style

but MAN doesnt that engine bay and motor need some TLC! rest of the car doesnt look bad for its age, i may have missed it but how many miles is on the clock?

mileage is an EXCELLENT question...cant remember, Ill have to check next time im at the car, its across the city right now, and i have no gas...haha whoops.

biggest thing that throws me off tho, everything is in miles, and my head doesnt do the conversion well enough to km...probably gonna get a speeding ticket next summer.
