It’s an older restoration that has been maintained, stored properly in a climate-controlled environment, and as such still looks fresh. Strong #2.

According to the Marti Report, this is 1 of only 3 Cougar XR-7’s with this paint and trim combination and the only one of those ever produced with power windows.

An excellent example of how a Pony Car could combine luxury, muscle, and class in 1969. It’s like a Mustang in a Tuxedo. It has the heart and soul of a Shelby GT500 and the luxury of a Lincoln but unlike a Mustang, it will likely be the only one you see at a car show.
