Due to a sudden situation that has arisen I am forced to sell my 1969 XR7 Convertible. Those of the Cascade Cougar Club know my car albiet it has only made it to one show (the Ponies in the Sun) last year. It still needs some minor work but I have poured alot of time and money into it. I prefer personal emails at [email protected] I have a price in mind of $17,000 but will entertain reasonable offers. Due to the nature of my situation I need to sell it as soon as possible. If you are at all interested please contact me asap. Thanks, Pat Price Yes, it is the car on my avatar.

Pat I hope everything turns out OK? Sorry to hear it's not going well....Looks like a nice car for someone - wish I had the cash! Good luck, hang in there

Pat, Sorry to hear this. I hope you find a sale fast.

 

[benchseat67]

It is now listed on eBay. If you have questions please contact me directly at [email protected] Thanks again, Pat

Pat,

You might want to post a link or at least the auction number. Good luck with the sale and sorry you have to sell her.

Thanks Bill.

Shameless bump. I really need to sell the car. Someone is going to get a killer deal considering how much I have into it. Please refer any questions to me at [email protected] Thanks, Pat

About 24 hours left on the auction. As I told one of the many watchers, if someone offers $13,000 cash it will sell. I am losing money but have no choice.

A lot of bidding goes on last second Pat _ as much as I detest the way ebay works, it's the unfortunate way it goes. I hope you do way better than that though - looks like a 20K car all day long from what I can see. I wish I had it....xing my fingers Good luck

Pat, if I only had the cash, I'd take it off your hands.

Come on, MCNet, somebody take his car and help a brother out.
At least if someone from the forum takes it he can be reassured it'll have a good home

I definitely appreciate the sentiment. What I can't believe is some of the lowball offers I have received. Talk about kicking someone while he's down.....

Yeah my 69 Cougar vert is on Ebay right now as well. Unless things pick up towards the end mine won't sell. Fortunately for me i do not have to sell mine. Good luck man!

I had the same thing happen when I had a car up for a starting price or "Make Offer." Some were so insulting I didn't bother to reply. Another thing that annoyed me was a detailed description, including pictures, of a project car with the engine on a pallet. I get an email from someone asking if the car can be driven.

People like that are eBay morons.

 

[benchseat67]

Unless a miracle happens in the next litle bit, I will have to relist it.....unless someone here steps up.

 

[1969XR7Vert]

I see the listing ended. Was $15.5K a no-sale? Just wondering, seems like that number is within "reasonable offer" range of $17K asking.

 

[68CatFan]

Seems like there's been alot of 69 verts for sale lately too. People probably figuring with spring here, now's the time to sell. Just saw a white one show up on ebay today asking about the same.

 

[benchseat67]

No sale yet. I relisted with a more detailed description and some underside pictures.
