1973 Mercury Cougar XR-7

We’re a family-run business proudly selling RVs and specialty vehicles nationwide since 2010, with 100% positive eBay feedback and thousands of satisfied customers. Every vehicle we sell goes through a 50-point rigorous inspection to ensure quality, reliability, and safety before delivery. Over 90% of our buyers purchase confidently sight-unseen because we make the process simple and secure — every sale includes FREE nationwide shipping, a 30-day limited warranty, and a Bill of Lading for out-of-state buyers to help avoid the approximate 10% California pickup tax. We’ve been shipping RVs across the U.S. for 14+ years without a single major issue, earning a reputation built on trust, transparency, and hassle-free coast-to-coast deliveries. Because we operate from a private warehouse (not an open car lot), local pickups are by appointment only and require a small refundable deposit to confirm. This policy allows us to give each buyer our full attention, ensure vehicles are ready for viewing, and keep the process efficient, professional, and stress-free.

Yes, the 1973 Mercury Cougar XR-7 was available in yellow — specifically, Medium Bright Yellow (Ford color code 6E) was one of the factory exterior paint options that year.
It was a popular color in the early '70s, part of Mercury's bright and bold palette.
The XR-7 trim, being the luxury version, could be ordered with special paint and vinyl roof combinations — sometimes in white or black over yellow.
Ford and Mercury often used the same color codes across their lineup, so "Medium Bright Yellow" could also be found on Mustangs and Torinos.This well maintained original Cougar was sold new at Mayberry Lincoln Mercury in North Hollywood, California where it was well cared for by its 2 previous owners. This top-of-the-line XR7 model is equipped with leather bucket seats, AM 8-Track, special interior lighting, deluxe steering wheel, map pockets, full gauges with tachometer and factory air conditioning. The exterior sports a contrasting soft vinyl top, and dual color keyed racing mirrors. The odometer shows just over 52,000 miles on this well maintained and cared for example.
