Car was repainted at some point from the light yellow to its current red. As you can see, the paint shines and generally looks good, but it’s a little older…

Tight and straight steering. No slack.

Clean clear title.

Located in OKC.

I bought this car and planned on removing the vinyl top and paining top to match car, this because my high school Cougar had a painted top, but have decided that keeping the car original is best for the car, so I’m selling and may look for a non vinyl top cougar. Sold as is.
