1973 Mercury Cougar XR-7

We’re a small family-run business proudly selling RVs, motorhomes, specialty vehicles nationwide since 2010, backed by 100% positive eBay feedback and 1000s of satisfied buyers. Each unit goes through a 50-point inspection for quality, reliability, and safety. Over 95% of our customers purchase sight-unseen with complete confidence thanks to our simple, secure, and fully transparent process: FREE nationwide shipping backed by 30-day limited warranty, and a Bill of Lading to help out-of-state buyers exempt from the stupid 10% California pickup tax.
Because we operate from a private storage facility (not an open car lot), we’re unable to host public showings. Local pickups are welcome by appointment only and require a small refundable deposit so we can schedule prep and documentation. For buyers purchasing sight-unseen, we proudly offer FaceTime or live-video, giving you a real-time walk-through to verify "NO SCAM" & the vehicle’s authenticity + condition before completing your purchase. Our family has been shipping RVs & specialty vehicles coast-to-coast for over 14 years with a reputation built on trust, transparency, and hassle-free delivery....The 1973 Mercury Cougar XR-7 came with several engine options, depending on the buyer's preferences and trim level.

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.
