1976 Mercury Cougar xr-7

1976 Mercury Cougar xr7 Additional Info:

Selling our current daily driver, a beautiful red 1976 mercury cougar xr7 that we named Madonna. It runs strong, drives smooth, and turns heads wherever we go, but it's a big car, too big for our current living situation.
The good:
-third owner rare classic with a clean title and the sought after 351m 5.8l V8.
-great condition for its age, with no running issues and up to date on all its maintenance.
-mean flowmaster exhaust
-20 inch alloy wheels
-some minor engine upgrades done by yours truly.
-all emissions vacuums intact, but if you're worried about smog, all the original engine components are available.
-factory pioneer radio/tape deck still works great
-recently charged A/C
The bad:
-its 40 years old, so it has some minor quirks here and there that are easy to fix if you have the time, which I dont, like the drivers window bracket needing to be tightened a little so it doesn't rattle.
-2 5-8" rust holes in the trunk, and a small rust hole in each bolt-on inner wheel well, but very little rust otherwise.
-a few chips in the paint here and there.
Id give it an 7.5/10 on mechanical, exterior, and interior. All in all, its a strong and beautiful rare classic for a beautiful price.
If it were cherry, it nadas for just over 13k, but with the little things here and there, we're comfortable only asking $4500.
So if you're tired of getting lost in a sea of 2000s hondas and bmws, shoot me an email and start cruising the boulevard in a stand out ride. Schedule is very busy, so please no low ballers, but any reasonable offers will be considered. Even consider partial trade for a cafe racer or bobber, and full/partial trade (depending on condition) for a solid, running 70-81 t-top camaro/Firebird/transam (no major project cars please).
