Hello to the Cougar Community! I am in the process of taking over a 1968 XR-7.
It's a one owner car as my Mother in law bought it brand new in El Paso, TX in 1968. Still has the dealer's plaque on the trunk lid. Car moved from there to central Louisiana and ultimately to South Florida. It as daily driven until Dec 1996, when it was parked in the garage at their house. They moved back to TX a few months later and the car has sat in the garage since then and hasn't been run.
Everyone likes pics so here are some pics of it in it's cocoon:
It's a 302, XR-7, 2bbl, with factory AC and had a vynil roof (removed but painted black). Nothing too special, but 105K and one owner.
As you can see the garage got wet a few years ago and mold set in, but it's been dried out in there for 3 or 4 years now, needs a good scrubbing. Seats are in fair shape.
The house is about to be remodeled and then rented so I'm in the process of making space in my 2 car garage at my house for it.
I'm pretty active with cars as I have a 1963 Austin Healey 3000 my Dad owned since new (lives in half of my garage now).
And a fleet of GM B-body station wagons
Well actually the twp up by the garage are sold, but I bought another one, so currently at 4 (some people think I have a problem, but I'm in total denial)
Don't boo me too hard as I've owned two other Fords and a Lincoln before, lol.
Anyway, I look forward to getting her on the road in the next few months and stopping the rust cancer on her.
