Well as I'm stripping a 73 Lincoln MarkIV, my son in law comes up with the excuse that his parents want him to remove his childhood toys from they're yard, one being a 69 Monterey. No engine or trans. Him and daughter live in a condo. Ok, I'll help out and haul it off for him.
Well gee, it's really decent, no rust, one small dent right in the nose where the trans smacked it as he was removing the eng/trans.. Hummm, found a place to stick the 460 from the Lincoln.
Well I'm at work, and telling a guy there about it, and then he tells me he too has to get rid of childhood toys from parents yard, so I went and looked.
The 70 XR-7 is Gold, has houndstooth interior, straight, only rust is one spot under pass door by the drain hole, and inner lip of trunk lid in the back. Drivers seat is torn, a small slit in the headliner near the front by the visor. Had the tan houndstooth vinyl top but he had taken it off. Good glass, not run since 97, as the radiator leaked and trans was slipping.
I guess the yard is filling up fast. So now to start the research on the Cougar and find out what I really have. I was contimplating looking for some kind of 1970 vehicle anyway, to drive to my 35yr class reunion in 3 years, why not a Cougar?!
