Description of 1968 Mercury Cougar

HI I AM SELLING MY 1968 MERCURY COUGAR XR7. THIS CAR IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. AS YOU CAN SEE THIS CAR HAS BEEN RECENTLY RESTORED TOP TO BOTTOM. IT RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 302CI. 4V ENGINE (J CODE). THIS CAR IS ALSO AN ORIGINAL AIR-CONDITIONED CAR. THE CAR STARTS RIGHT UP EVERTIME AND RUNS GREAT. I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF THE CAR RUNNING AND WILL SUPPLY IT UPON REQUEST. WHEN COLD, IT DOES SMOKE ALITTLE AND THEN CLEARS UP. THE CAR ALSO RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR RUNS DOWN THE ROAD WITH EASE. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTH. THE BRAKES ARE HIGH AND STOP THE CAR GREAT. ALL THE HOSES HAVE BEEN CHANGED AND AN ALLUMINIUM RADIATOR WAS ADDED TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING COOL EVEN ON THE HOTTEST DAYS. I HAVE NOT RECONNECETED THE AIR CONDITIONING AS I WOULD NEVER USE IT, HOWEVER I DONT THINK IT WILL TAKE MUCH TO GET IT GOING. ALL THE GLASS IS ORIGINAL AND THERE ARE NO CRACKS. THE REAR DIRECTIONAL LITES WORK AS WELL. ALL THE WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN WITH EASE. I CHECK FREQUENTLY AND THERE ARE NO LEAKS EXCEPT THE POWER STEERING LEAKS A LITTLE AND HAVE HAD NO TIME TO ADDRESS IT.
AS YOU CAN SEE THIS CAR IS AS STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW. THERE IS NOT A DROP OF RUST ON THIS CAR. THE PAINT IS NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING. I DOUBT YOU WILL FIND A COUGAR AS NICE AS THIS ONE. THE BODY AND PAINT WERE DONE JUST 3 MONTHS AGO. I HAD THIS CAR IN A VERY REPUTABLE SHOP TO DO ALL THE BODY WORK AND PAINT ON THIS CAR. THERE IS ALOT OF CLEAR ON THE CAR AND IT STILL LOOKS WET. IT WAS DISMANTELED WHEN DONE AND THERE IS NO OVERSPAY ON THE CAR. THE FRONT BUMPER IS PRESENTABLE AND THE REAR BUMPER IS ABOVE AVERAGE. ALL THE STAINLESS IS INTACT AND IN GREAT CONDITION. AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURES A NEW PASSENGER FLOOR WAS PUT IN FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK. THE OLD ONE WAS NOT ROTTED THRU BUT VERY SOFT.
AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE BY THE PHOTOS THE ENTIRE INTERIOR HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE HEADLINER. I JUST RAN OUT OF TIME AND NEVER GOT TO IT. IT'S ALL THERE TO DO IT, BUT I DONT FEEL COMFORTABLE LEAVING IT AN UPOLSTRY SHOP AFTER ALL THIS WORK. THE CARPET IS NEW, THE SEAT COVERS ARE NEW, THE DASH PAD IS NEW AND SEVERAL OTHER ITEMS ARE NEW. BY THE PICTURES YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE HOW NICE IT IS. THE WOOD GRAIN ON THE DASH IS EXCELLENT. ALL THE SIDE PANELS AND THE KICK PANELS ARE EXCELLENT. ALL THE GAGES ARE CLEAR AND SHOW VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF AGE.THIS CAR IS RECENT RESTORATION. THERE IS NOT ANY RUST ON THIS CAR. ALL THE BODYB WORK WAS BDONE WITH METAL WHERE NEEDED. THERE WAS ONLY MINIMAL BODY FILLER USED AND IT SHOWS AS THE BODY IS SUPER STRAIGHT AND THERE ARE NO WAVES DOWN THE SIDE. THE UNDER SIDE IS VERY SOLID ONLY MINOR SURFACE RUST BUT AGAIN AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURES THE PASSENGER FLOOR PANS WERE REPLACED, NOT PATCHED. THEY WERE DONE RIGHT NOT SOME MICKEY JOB. THE INNER WHEEL WELLS ARE COMPLETLEY RUST FREE AS WELL.
IN MY OPINION THIS IS ONE FANTASTIC COUGAR. IT WAS BUILT BY A PROFESSIONAL SHOP AND TO A REALLY HIGH STANDARD. I AM VERY OPEN TO A PERSONAL INSPECTION HOWEVER, THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE YOU BID. A WINNING BID DOES NOT BUY YOU TIME TO INSPECT. I AM ALSO OPEN AND AVAILABLE FOR A PROFESSIONAL INSPECTION. PLEASE ASK ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BID AS WELL. I DO NOT WANT ANY ONE TO NOT HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE. THE MILAGE SHOWS 95000 MILES BUT PLEASE REALIZE BECAUSE OF ITS AGE ICANNOT GUARANTEE THAT.

PLEASE BID TO WIN. PLEASE BID ONLY IF YOU INTEND TO WIN. 0 BIDDERS AND LOW FEEDBACK BIDDERS WILL BE ELIMINATED, IF YOU DO NOT CONTACT ME BEFORE PLACING A BID. THAT IS ANY BIDDER WITH LESS THEN 10 CURRENT FEEDBACK. PLEASE ASK ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BID AS WELL. MY NAME IS DAVID AND CAN BE REACHED AT 856-308-6508. I AM AVAILABLE AT MOST TIMES FOR YOU TO PREVIEW THIS CAR AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHOW THE CAR TO A PROFESSIONAL INSPECTOR. ***** ALSO PLEASE REVIEW THE PAYMENT TERMS OF THIS AUCTION. AS I AM A STICKLER AND THERE WILL NOT BE ANY DEVIATION. ****** THERE IS $500 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSITBY PAYPAL IMMEDIATELY AND FULL PAYMENT WITHIN 3 DAYS VIA ELECTRONIC WIRE TRANSFER OR CASH IN PERSON. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION AT ANYTIME AS IT IS FOR SALE LOCALLY AS WELL. THIS CAR IS BEING SOLD AS IS AND THERE ARE NO RETURNS
