Description of 1968 Mercury Cougar

I bought this car in 2003 from a friend in Santa Rosa. who was the second owner. with his grandma being the first. I spent many years. time and money learning how to restore a car. Probably didn't get as far as I would have liked. but that's part of the process. It's now time to sell and like others I will take a loss. I do hope I can get another Cougar enthusiast to buy it and finish off the restoration. I should have known I bite off more than I could chew as a first timer looking to restore a car. That said. here is the basic information from the 68 Cougar: Dataplate Information: 8R93J510922 Year: 1968 Assembly Plant: San Jose. California Body: XR7. Hardtop Engine: 302-4V Unit Number: 10922 Exterior Color: Augusta Green Poly. Interior Color: Med. Saddle Levant Grain Vinyl & Med. Saddle Leather Date Codes: 24 January DSO Codes: Oakland. CA Axle Codes: 3. 50 Non-locking Transmission Codes: C-4 Automatic You can visit my 68 Cougar on my website or read the For Sale post on my website about the 68 Cougar. Included at the bottom of this post is a zip file with 30 additional pictures of the Cougar. The car is currently located in Oakley. California that is about 45 minutes east of San Francisco. The Cougar is NOT drivable. as the rebuilt engine sits on an engine stand in the garage. while the car is tarped and covered in the driveway. I am asking a price of $5500 for EVERYTHING related to the car. All identification numbers match. Some other highlights of the car from my Craigslist post: After 11 years and $15k. I am out of time to invest into this restoration. The front and rear end are completely rebuilt. as are all 4 drum brakes. There is a new drive shaft and the automatic C4 transmission was rebuilt a few years back. I have assorted NIB parts including carpet kit. Flaming River steering column and radiator. The 302-4v (now 350 HP) was completely rebuilt on the original block by Aaron at Bad-Ass Engines in Sonoma. The exhaust system was rebuilt including dual Flowmaster mufflers and chromed exhaust tips. Headers were plated as well.
