1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 Description

I have been restoring this car but am being relocated, and cannot take it with me, so must sell it. It is disassembled - trunk, hood, front fenders and doors removed in preparation to bead blast the inner fender wells, bottom and firewall - and mostly stripped to bare metal.
I have spent nearly $7,000 on the car, the engine and trans, and new/replacement parts, plus 'Eliminator' add-ons. There are too many new parts to list all, but here are the biggies I have purchased.:

351 Cleveland 2V on an engine stand (Engine stand goes with sale)
Automatic transmission (Matched pair - purchased the engine and transmission together)
Complete dual exhaust with mufflers (Purchased with the engine/transmission)
New nickel/chrome front and rear bumpers from 'The Bumper Boyz' in California
New floor pans from Laurel Mountain Mustangs
New battery box and supports from Mustangs Unlimited
New right front inner fender sheetmetal (goes with the battery box)
4 NEW B.F. Goodrich 14" white letter radials. Mounted on:
Correct rally wheels for an Eliminator
New trim rings and center caps for an Eliminator
Complete new front suspensioncomponents from Mustangs Unlimited
Spring compressor for the front coil springs goes with the front suspension
Replacement front axles
New front axle bearings
New front rotors, calipers and pads from Mustangs Unlimited
New rear brake drums and shoes fromMustangs Unlimited
New steering rack from Mustangs Unlimited
New chrome power brake master cylinder
New fuel tank with float and sending unit
New trunk mat (Original checkerboard style)
Replacement dashboard and trim pieces in burgundy
New headliner in burgundy to match new dashboard
New door and trunk lock set
Extra set of door panels in black
Complete new interior screw set
Extra grill for the air intake area in front of the windshield
Extra front valance
Center console

All of these parts are boxed up in my basement, and you can see in the pictures, they take up an entire wall of my basement.
I would REALLY like to find someone who wants to continue the restoration, since I have put so much time, effort (and $$$) into it, and I do not have time to complete it nor sell off all the parts, so it is an all-or-nothing sale.
Feel free to ask questions.
