1973 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Convertible
Offered for sale is an exceptionally rare 1973 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Convertible, a beautifully preserved example of Mercury's luxurious personal performance car and one of only 1,717 XR-7 convertibles produced for the model year. Finished in its factory-correct Gold Glamour Metallic over a Medium Ginger leather interior with a power-operated black convertible top, this Cougar is an outstanding collector piece that combines rarity, style, and V8 performance. Even more impressively, according to the included Deluxe Marti Report, this example is one of only 64 built with its convertible power top and Q code engine, making it a truly special find for Mercury enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Power comes from the desirable Q-code 351 cubic-inch 4V V8, factory-equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and paired with the highly sought-after 4-speed manual transmission. This combination delivers the perfect blend of smooth cruising and engaging performance while preserving the character that made Mercury's performance-oriented luxury cars so popular during the early 1970s. Recent mechanical servicing included an oil change, cleaning the spark plugs, and setting the ignition points, ensuring this Cougar is ready to be enjoyed.
Finished in its original Gold Glamour Metallic paint, the exterior is accented by a power-operated black convertible top, color-keyed racing mirrors, body-side moldings, and tinted glass. The car rides on classic 14-inch Magnum 500-style wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich tires, perfectly complementing its elegant yet muscular appearance. Factory power steering and power-assisted front disc brakes provide effortless drivability and confident stopping power, making this Cougar as enjoyable behind the wheel as it is to admire.
Inside, the luxurious Medium Ginger leather interior showcases Mercury's commitment to comfort and refinement. Front bucket seats are separated by a full-length center console, while factory amenities include power windows, power door locks, factory air conditioning, a power driver's seat, and an AM/FM radio. Recent work included adjusting the power driver's seat, replacing a window motor, servicing the air conditioning system, and installing new carpeting and floor mats, leaving the cabin fresh, comfortable, and ready for its next owner.
The instrument panel features a 120-mph speedometer, factory tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, amperage, and oil pressure, providing the driver with a comprehensive view of the car's vital functions. The five-digit odometer currently reads 62,000 miles, and the overall presentation reflects careful ownership and continued maintenance.
Adding significantly to this Cougar's collector appeal are the included Deluxe Marti Report and Lois Eminger Report, documenting its factory equipment, production statistics, and original delivery through Manhattan Ford Lincoln Mercury in New York, New York. The Marti Report confirms this Cougar as one of only 64 examples built with these exact factory specifications, an extraordinary distinction that sets it apart from nearly every other 1973 XR-7 Convertible on the road today.
Whether you're searching for a rare Mercury convertible, an investment-quality collector car, or a luxurious classic that's equally enjoyable with the top up or down, this 1973 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Convertible delivers on every level. Its rare production numbers, desirable Q-code 351 V8, factory 4-speed manual transmission, extensive documentation, and exceptional list of factory options make it a standout example of one of Mercury's finest personal luxury performance cars.
Don't miss your opportunity to own this exceptionally rare 1973 Mercury Cougar XR-7 Convertible. Combining documented rarity, timeless styling, V8 performance, and outstanding factory documentation, this Cougar is ready to become the centerpiece of any collection.

Hello and welcome to LRA AUTO SALES. We purchased a Chevrolet Dealership almost three years ago and turned it into a Quality Pre-Owned Auto Superstore and Muscle & Classic Car Museum.
I named it LRA Enterprises Auto Museum and Auto Sales which encompasses my two son’s initials and mine. I wanted it to become a family oriented place where parents could take their sons & daughters to and show them what cars use to be like in their era and where they can purchase a car of their era. Where a husband and wife could bring their children to and link the gap of automotive history from present back to the past.
We pride ourselves in displaying some of automotive history’s greatest and most rarest cars ever built. Where names such as Corvette, Super Sport, BOSS 429, MOPAR and HEMI are common place. We are also strong in the racing heritage and names such as Lingenfelter and Ray Barton, Richard Petty and Bobby Allison are legends and at LRA we’ll make sure those legends will never die.
We offer a “one stop shop” kind of atmosphere and offer all aspects of sales, service, auto body and collision and towing. We encompass a full array of Cars and Trucks for sale from the 1950’s up to current day. We also have a Speed Shop on site, offering everything from wheels to accessories and even dyno runs for measuring horsepower.
We are located at 3114 Veterans Highway / Route 413 in Bristol PA and provide quality pre-owned cars and quality pre-owned trucks to all the surrounding areas of Bristol.
For customized driving directions, contact us today at: 215-781-3790.
Thanks for visiting our website and hope to see you soon to view over two million dollars of classic, muscle and pre-owned auto inventory
