Default Re: 1971 429 CJ 4sp Cougar XR7 ram air convertible

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Fast67VelleN2O</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Very rare and super cool, but I personally don't think the value is there with it. Not the most popular of vehicles in the Ford/Mercury world. Concourse restored, I would think you would barely be knocking on the $45,000 door in my opinion. Lets see some pics of this rare beast!

Matt,
Of the 448 cars built, only 75 serial numbers have been located, of those serial numbers aprox 20% are cars that are known to have been parted out or destroyed. This leaves aprox 60 existing cars in all states of repair.

The record price for a 429CJ Cougar XR7 HT was 87,000.00 at the 2007 Florida Mecum Auction.
The record price for a 429CJ Cougar Conv (one of the blue show cars) was 97,900.00 was at the 2009 Scottsdale Russo &amp; Steel Auction.


So few of these cars go up for sale at auction, or even publically that it is hard to determin a value. The CPI price guide Nov-Dec 2012 lists a value of 50,900 for a 429CJ HT, It does not even list a value for the Conv
