mercury cougar 1968

NO WARRANTIES IMPLIED OR STATED.  Responsibility for condition and operation of vehicle is the sole responsibility of the buyer.  1968 Mercury Cougar.  I bought this site unseen about 12 years ago because the seller stated 99% rust free. Upon receiving the vehicle I think they were correct, I wish I was in as good a condition as this vehicle.  As long as I have had this vehicle it has NEVER seen rain, water, or salt.  I am such a fanatic about the car and keeping rust away, I have only ever washed it twice.  I bought the vehicle with approx 96,000 miles and have watched the ODO turn; now has approx 105,000 miles. Rides and drives fine.  I was told this has the 302 engine but I can not confirm this as I simply would not know.  See photos of underside to understand lack of rust condition.  The following are some, but may not be all, of the things it needs: needs new headlineer, mag wheels show some minor surface rust, only one front floor mat is in the car, the hideaway headlight covers open fine but one does not close some times (you can buy the part at west coast cougars to remedy this).  Sequential turn signal analog mechanical controls worked but were replaced with digital modules just for peace of mind.  I was told the car was an Arizona car and since I have owned it, it has been in a temperature controlled location.  Please dont ask me about the condition of the vehicle as everyones perception of condition is different.  I drive it, it runs fine, everything works, but to avoid any confusion I suggest you come look at the car before buying. Mileage is currently 105,412 but will go up as people test drive the vehicle. If you dont come look at the vehicle please understand that it will be sold only AS IS. Cash only with transfer at my local bank, they will check funds to not be counterfeit and then you can have keys and tilte. Cashiers check is acceptable but will be deposited and held untl it clears (typically 5 business days) BEFORE I give you keys, title, or car.  Thanks and good luck.
