Text from the ad:
"69 cougar xr7 convertible . 428 cobra jet motor . 4bb c6 trans header . electronic ignition . new interior and top. Craiger ss rims .tilt wheel .delay wipers .full tac gauges."

its fun changing those spark plugs.

Way too cheap....

I thought so also. Scam?

...The 428CJ motor value out of the car plus the price of doing the interior and top are more than the asking price.

if I was a ford guy that would be the equivelant of a 69 Chevelle ss convert

I doubt it's a scam, as I couldn't resist the temptation and I called and talked to the owners wife (nice lady) and I am going to see the car in a couple of hours.
I'll report back.

Nice people ….………………………. BUT …………………. its an original Hunter Green with a 390 motor, and the 428 in it is Thunder Jet, not a Cobra Jet motor …………..………….. priced correctly at 7000.00.

Still seems like a steal at $7000

I believe you have to unbolt one motor mount and jack one side the engine up to change plugs.......just one of MANY reasons not to own a Ford. lol

I have to agree with Dan that $7000 still is a decent price for the car.

I hope L E E buys it. I have not seen it but I think prices correctly it off base. I have a 69 XR7 very with a 351W and would not sell it for that.

My buddy called on this ad and it was a hoax. Too bad.....

Paul

What part of it was a hoax?
The people were real, the car was real.
Here's a pic from Google maps.

Post has been deleted. LEE you must have scored this??

The ad is a hoax.

I never said the car did not exist, it is just not for sale. The owner said it was a "scam, somebody in the area listed the car without him knowing about it" and now he is getting hammered with calls.

Paul

kind of wierd that LEE talked to the owners wife about the car

Maybe that is what he told your buddy after realizing he probably listed it too cheap by the volume of interest it generated. But it was defiantly for sale, I passed on it.

Thanks.....now we know the whole story.

I spoke to the wife and she said that its a 390 car and they made a mistake when they wrote the add …. it was supposed to say …. 428 added … hmmmm. As I said before, if this is indeed a 390 car, and a color change from Hunter Green to Gold, and needing a full restoration, 7000 is not out of line.

Just my 2 cents :)

Correct, I was told the same as you.
