As anyone would expect, considering a 1978 Cougar isn't the most desirable classic, this XR-7 shouldn't sell for big bucks, and the owner is also interested in trades with "a nice 4x4." ...

Mercury struggled to sell the Cougar, with the XR-7 also losing ground. The company sold only 72,363 units, and the XR-7 accounted for only 18,565 hardtops and 4,299 convertibles.
