Re: 1971 429 CJ 4sp Cougar XR7 ram air convertible
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 429CJ_Registrar</div><div class="ubbcode-body">
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 & 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 </div></div> Wow I was way off the mark! Thanks for setting me straight on these. -Matt

There are actually 3 going up for acution in January. The Blue Conv that sold in 2009 and Russo and Steele will be at Barrett Jackson, There is a yellow 429CJ 4sp Cougar GT at russo and Steele, and there is another 429CJ Cougar GT - one family survivor at the Kissemee Mecum auction. Time will tell what the current market is. Mitch

Re: 1971 429 CJ 4sp Cougar XR7 ram air convertible
After reading everyone's notes, I think I'm biting off more than I can chew, meaning= I had a '71Cougar XR7 HT with a 429. It had every bell and whistle. "Butterscotch" color with half vinyl roof, real leather interior. I ended up selling it(worst thing I did). Now, many, many years later, I would like to have one just like it again, but I had no idea they went for so much $$$. Any idea about what I should expect to pay???

Re: 1971 429 CJ 4sp Cougar XR7 ram air convertible
I think you'd be surprised that it's one of the best values out there - how many cars with the top engine aren't priced out of the stratosphere? As long as it's not a Mustang, 429 Fords are quite reasonable.
There's a 4-speed ragtop on eBay right now - check it out! |
