Convertible Chassis Num: 0F92H547584   Sold for $5,000 at 2007 Worldwide Auctioneers. This 1970 Mercury Cougar Convertible was offered for sale at the 2007 Sports and Classic Car Auction presented by The Worldwide Group, in Hilton Head Island, SC where it was estimated to sell for $15,000 - $25,000. It was offered without reserve. It is powered by a 390 cubic-inch V8 engine capable of producing 300 horsepower. There is power steering, power brakes, factory AM radio, and a three-speed manual gearbox. The second series of the Mercury Cougar was introduced in 1969. It sat on the same wheelbase size as the original series, measuring 111 inches, but its body was wider and longer. It also offered two new convertible options. Styling remained similar to the 1967-1968 version, particularly the grille, and the XR-7s continued to feature a full set of needle gauges and leather-faced seat upholstery as standard equipment. The prior GT and GTE models were reduced to option packages available with or without XR-7 trim, and continue to house a big-block V8 engine. The Cougar Eliminator for 1969 and 1970 featured a stand-up rear-deck spoiler, bright 'Grabber' colors, and prominent side stripes. This car was sold for a mere $5,000; the buyer got a bargain.
