Time to sell my 1968 Mercury Cougar XR7-G Hertz Rent-A-Racer. The car is a complete project car but ismostly there.

There were 188 Hertz XR7-G Rent-A-Racer Cougars made side byside with the Shelby Mustangs at AO Smith in Livonia, MI in 1968. All of these XR7-G’s were built identically withthe only variation being the color. Allof the cars were built with the 390-4V GT motor and C6 automatic transmission. Power steering, power front disc brakes, airconditioning as well as all of the XR7-G specific options plus the factoryelectric sunroof. This care is Red onRed with a black vinyl top. I have attached the Marti report as well

The important (expensive) G related parts are there. The center console, G-Mirror, hood scoop, andthe fog lights are there. G specific partsthat are missing are the trunk lock emblem, roof rail and headlight emblems,all 3 horns, shifter handle and the exhaust tips.

From my deduction, many years ago the passenger side rockerarm was not oiling well and one of the valves stuck and the piston closest tothe firewall mashed right into the stuck valve.The owners at the time took part of the engine apart until they foundthe valve indented into the piston. Thecar was the store outside and that’s when the deterioration started.

I never received the passenger cylinder head and any of theparts from the front part of the engine like the radiator, AC condenser, fanshroud and the power steering pump. Theengine oil pan was also not on the engine. The replacement cylinder that I installed ins not year correct but it does have the smog ports and is set up for the GT manifolds. The head is bare without valves.

By sitting outside for many years, moisture worked its wayunder the vinyl top and started to rust out the roof. That worked its way into the cowl and thefloor pans as well as into the trunk.

I purchased the car and brought it to a body shop and had themstart on the car. Passenger floor pan has been replaced as well as the rearseat pans, core support and radiator support.Body shop subsequently went out of business and the project was halted.
