Description

1971 Mercury Cougar, in an excellent condition which is rare to find like this with only 47,000+ miles. This car was a very low production, built only around 1700 convertible. Bought this car 10 years ago because of it’s original condition, previously owned just by 1 owner. There was never any rust at all and not even any accidents. I am selling this car because I am looking to buy a 1971 351 Boss and unfortunately I don’t have space in the garage. Decided to refurbish this California Car just to make it shiny again with a very highly expensive paint. All of the chrome was done professionally in UK by central engineering. All breaks systems are new, New fuel pump, new carburettor, new filters and oil, magnum 500 wheels + tyres, new weather strips, new interior, new windshield, new starter. Removed the points and put electronic pick up ignition with high performance coil by flame thrower Convertible top in excellent condition, Spare wheel and jack in place This car is also equipped with: AM + FM radio with original antenna, Power front disc brake, Power steering, Air condition, Sports mirrors, Very detailed engine bay Everything in the car works perfectly and definitely worth viewing.

Frequently asked questions

This 1971 Ford Cougar is 16+ years old, which moves it into project / collectible / hand-me-down territory. Pricing in this band has more to do with condition and rarity than age. Inspect for rust, frame integrity, and electrical wear — none of which the 1971 fuel-economy spec sheet will warn you about.

This listing is below the typical mileage band for a 1971 Ford — most Cougars of this age show closer to 15-20k km/year. Low mileage is a price-supporting attribute but verify the odometer hasn't been rolled back (check service records and inspection-station logs in Malta).

Il-Mosta, Il-Mosta is a smaller market — comparable Ford Cougar listings are scarce, so this convertible can carry a small premium for buyers who can't find local alternatives. Be transparent about condition; buyers who travel for a listing typically expect what they see in the photos.

For an older Ford Cougar like this one, prioritize: timing belt/chain interval (ask for the last replacement receipt), suspension bushings and shocks, brake-fluid condition, transmission service history, and rust on the rocker panels and subframe. A pre-purchase inspection at an independent shop pays for itself many times over at this age.

Insurance in Malta is a private-carrier market. For a premium-tier Ford Cougar in Il-Mosta, expect 4-8% of the market value per year for full coverage. The biggest cost-driver is the city — Il-Mosta rates can be meaningfully higher than rural Il-Mosta for the same Ford.

Gasoline pricing in Malta is moderate. For this Cougar, expect monthly fuel cost to scale roughly with kilometers driven and the manufacturer-rated economy minus 10-15% for real-world conditions.

This is a private-seller listing. For a premium-tier purchase like this Ford Cougar, the buyer usually pre-arranges financing with their own bank or credit union — get pre-approval before contacting the seller. The seller will typically wait for funds to clear before signing over the title.

In Il-Mosta, Malta, you'll need the original title signed over by the seller, a bill of sale, a current emissions / safety inspection where required by Il-Mosta, a VIN-match verification, and proof of insurance to take possession. The state DMV or motor-vehicle agency processes the transfer; many do it the same day.

This is a private-seller listing — an individual selling their own Ford Cougar, not a business. Treat it like any other person-to-person purchase: meet in a safe public location (a police-station parking lot is the gold standard), verify the seller's ID against the title before any money changes hands, and never wire funds before seeing the vehicle in person.

A 16+ year-old Ford Cougar is past its depreciation trough — pricing from here is condition-driven, not age-driven. Documented examples of desirable trims can appreciate; rough examples stay flat or depreciate as parts availability tightens. Set the price by recent comparable sold prices, not by asking prices.

On a premium-tier listing, negotiation room varies more by the seller's hold-time than by buyer pressure. Ask when the listing went live — anything past 30 days usually means the seller is open to a 7-10% reduction. Also inspect service records: missing entries are a legitimate price-reduction lever.

If the seller still owes a bank or finance company against this Ford Cougar, the title has a lien recorded. Do NOT hand over funds before the lien is released. Standard practice in Malta: buyer's bank pays the lender directly for the loan balance and pays the seller for the remainder, with the lender's release letter arriving alongside the new title. Verify the lien status through whatever public registry Malta uses (DMV / DETRAN / Registro Civil / etc.) before agreeing to a purchase price.
