Description:

1968 Mercury Cougar

1968 Mercury Cougar up for sale. As-Is, 3-speed automatic, 302. This is a straightforward project car, perfect for a professional or as a family project. Original, three-owner, Los Angeles vehicle. It was purchased and handed down from a father to his daughter and then to her sister, before the current owner added it to her household in 1989 as a semi-daily driver.

The Body

Very small bit of rust from a spot just above the windshield (due to a tear in the car cover fabric) that will need attention. Underside floor tear in the panel; this will need a re-weld or replacement of that panel. No further body issues. No accidents. This is a solid, original body that will clean up with a minimum of effort.

Interior:

The interior is in good shape overall. Many of the chromed surfaces will need attention or replacement. Current owner replaced the dash. Remainder of interior is original. The dash, front and rear seats, upholstery and headliner are intact and clean. Current owner added original headrests to the front seats, a scarce upgrade.

Mechanical:

Includes a/c. Headlight actuators work. Original 302 engine runs, however will need a rebuild. It smokes in a manner that suggests the rings are tired, but it does run smoothly otherwise and is a solid foundation for a strong rebuild.

Location: Gig Harbor, Washington.
