Lot #7 - This 1977 Mercury Cougar has been stored in a garage since 1998. This car represents a matching-numbers, original survivor car. It has been made road-ready with new tires, complete tuneup, new fuel pump and accelerator pump, coolant flush with new hoses, transmission service and a new RI state inspection sticker. This car runs and drives nicely powered by its 302ci 8-cylinder engine backed by an automatic transmission, and has 71,000 original miles (mileage not indicated on registration). The car has the original engine and transmission, and the body wears its original paint, with the exception of the left rear quarter, which was damaged while the car was backed out of the garage many years ago. The vinyl roof is also original. The interior is completely original. The undercarriage is clean and rust-free. The chassis, doors and rear quarters have never been patched or worked on, and are solid. This Cougar includes a Marti Report and a copy of the original Window Sticker.
