Yes, the 1973 Mercury Cougar XR-7 was available in yellow — specifically, Medium Bright Yellow (Ford color code 6E) was one of the factory exterior paint options that year.
It was a popular color in the early '70s, part of Mercury's bright and bold palette.
The XR-7 trim, being the luxury version, could be ordered with special paint and vinyl roof combinations — sometimes in white or black over yellow.
Ford and Mercury often used the same color codes across their lineup, so "Medium Bright Yellow" could also be found on Mustangs and Torinos.This well maintained original Cougar was sold new at Mayberry Lincoln Mercury in North Hollywood, California where it was well cared for by its 2 previous owners. This top-of-the-line XR7 model is equipped with leather bucket seats, AM 8-Track, special interior lighting, deluxe steering wheel, map pockets, full gauges with tachometer and factory air conditioning. The exterior sports a contrasting soft vinyl top, and dual color keyed racing mirrors. The odometer shows just over 52,000 miles on this well maintained and cared for example.
