The interior is also black.Covered in a custom leather the interior like the rest of the car.Close to what would have come from the Mercury Factory back in 1973.Just a little cooler and much nicer..This 1973 Mercury Cougar Convertible is a restmod and the builder stayed real close to that style.
Everything has been upgraded and finished to a very nice level..Very few modifications from the original styling of a 1973 Mercury Cougar.. The underside is been done to a very nice level also and upgraded to make sure that all the power of the 351 Cleveland makes it to the ground.Wheels are always a personal choice.No one set will please everyone.

I like the wheels they chose to run on this 1973 Mercury Cougar Convertible form the 2021 World Of Wheels custom car show.They fit the rest of the build.They have a could have come from the factory look…But a little bigger and much nicer than anything offered back in 1973.I don’t find many Mercury Cougars that have been done to this level and I see even less convertibles.You can tell this car was built to cruise around town with the top down./via/read more: ScottieDTV
