Description

Up for auction is a loaded. solid 1968 XR-7. un-restored. Western Classic. Originally this was a 2 barrel 390 but now has a correct 4 barrel 390 GT intake and aftermarket Holley carburetor. The motor has low miles on a complete. professional rebuild. has no issues and runs strong. The carburetor may need attention soon as it had not been driven in almost a decade prior to us purchasing it. It starts up first try and I have been driving it to work on nice days over the last month with no issues. The seat covers are original leather and in poor condition but I have a customer who has a near new set of vinyl. red XR-7 seat covers that he would sell to the new owner for about half the retail price (he upgraded to leather on his GT-E). I am happy to help ship the car worldwide and have done so many times. Indoor storage is available for free as long as you need (within reason). I am flexible on how and when you pay for the car but require the deposit be made instantly at auctions end. If you need special consideration regarding payment. contact me prior to bidding. I am flexible and easy to get along with. We did a really detailed video on the car and we made it with the intention of keeping it up on YouTube so you and others will be informed buyers when you look at a first generation Cougar prior to purchase. BTW. if you would like to save several hundred dollars on the purchase price we would reduce the ending sale price substantially if we were able to keep the air cleaner and associated parts and replace them with more common components. Thanks for looking! Don Rush. West Coast Classic Cougar 503-463-1130For an in-depth look at this car. grab some popcorn and watch our video below. If you can't see it. click here to watch on YouTube.
