This is a 1971 mercury cougar convertible that I inherited over 7 years ago it belonged to my uncle who passed away but had purchased it and it sat in his garage for five years before I got it he started it frequently and rolled it in and out of his garage to make sure nothing locked up then I got it and put it in a storage unit and that's where it has sat for the last seven years
I had no plans to sell it but have no choice so here's the deal my husband broke his back five years ago and we have dwindled through our savings just to make ends meat and I have fallen back on my storage unit payments and the guys not going to wait any longer so I have no choice but to sell it my unit is locked so I don't have original pictures but I will be as detailed as I possibly can so you know what your getting
This car is nice its red and has a complete body the motor ran as I drove it into storage but probably needs a full run through as far as the motors concerned it also has 37,000 original miles on it & I truly don't think it flipped because of it being in storage for the last almost 13 years it was last registered in the year 2000 there was only 1723 made so this car is rare I have included some pictures that prove the information im telling you is true as far as values and such plus I found out today that I am one of only 3 people that own a 1971 in New York state so even being a project car its still worth the money my reserve is lower than the Kelly blue book fair condition price I will end the auction and sell the car to the first person with cash or an agreed price but I know what this car is worth so please no low ballers
The interior needs some work if I remember correctly my uncle ripped the rug out and never got a chance to replace it but he removed the seats in the process and those are still out but come with the car the body is in decent shape for its age he did start the work around the rear fenders but could still use some work on the floor as there's holes in it but the frame is still solid this car will need to be flat bedded as the tires are probably locked from sitting but this is defiantly a diamond in the rough the rear quarter panels have bondoe on them from my cousin starting the body work so I would imagine you would want to redo them and the battery was removed plus the seats that are in it did not come with the car but are included the interior hardware is in the trunk and you will need a new top
I have the original paperwork on it which is a registration and a bill of sale as there was no title for the vehicle back then
The pictures above are of the actual car in the storage unit if you have anymore questions please feel free to text me at 716-440-9353 and I will help in anyway I can
Like I said the car is in storage so if it takes you a little while to come get it I will have until the end of August to clear it out otherwise it'll be $100 a month for storage which isn't bad but as soon as the car is paid for I'm going to pay my storage bill so you don't have to worry about it going anywhere I will also provide proof after payment if you want as I am not here to scam anyone I just want to get out of a situation I'm in with the storage company and finally get it out of there as I've been paying $100 a month for the last seven years which is alot of money in itself and I know ill never get that out of it
Thanks for reading & happy bidding
