Hello All,
Not mine, but I was messaging with Greg in regards to this ‘69 XR7 Vert which seems to be in fairly decent shape. He did say that he believes the engine needs a tune up/carb tweaking and there is some minor rust underneath but nothing extensive that would require immediate attention. He just is not enjoying owning an older car and is looking to move on ASAP……seems like a great deal but reach out to him if you have any questions or are interested!

Pardon my ignorance. Shouldn’t a 69 XR7 have a rimblow??? Or was that an option as well???

Yes it should have, but who knows what happens over 57 years! Would be a question for the seller.
Thanks!

I’ve been trying to talk with him as well. He’s not super forthcoming but I think has had a lot of people reach out. I’m not far away and am interested if it’s fairly solid underneath. One person’s definition of solid may not match someone else’s.,
Did you get a vin or door tag? He didn’t share it when I asked, just said to come look at it.

I think he is not a “classic car” guy and is just frustrated with the car itself and the selling process, but he has to understand people have questions. I did not ask about a VIN but maybe if you are that close grab it and check out the undercarriage? He said he had a mechanic assess it and it was not something that needed immediate attention for what that is worth. Thanks!

That steering wheel appears to be from either a Montego or a Marquis, not a Cougar.

Franken-car. The console is wrong, the steering wheel is wrong, the air cleaner is wrong, and the door fitment is horrid on both sides…How much bond-o is covering the floor pan and frame issues?

Ummmmmm the car is 57 years old and he is not billing it is an all original, low-mileage pristine example or asking $60,000 for it…..oh no it is the wrong air cleaner! Come on guys…..
