Hello,

I bought the car in October of 2011 from a seller in Los Angeles, had it shipped to Indianapolis, then my wife and I were blessed with a baby boy this past summer. Life priorities have changed and it caused me to make the decision to sell my '68 XR7 Cougar. It is a good solid driver car with a lot of potential if you would want to take it on as a restoration/restomod.

Garage kept and driven in sunny weather only since owned. It has not been subjected to Indiana winter road conditions.

8 = 1968
