1968 Mercury Cougar

For sale is my daily driver a 1968 mercury cougar that has been mostly restored. Originally Olive Green color. It has the original 302/ 4bbl engine with Edelbrock 1403 500cfm carb and manifold. Transmission is C4 which was rebuilt 5 years ago. It has 3:00 gears and 8' rear. Car is mostly stock except it has long tube headers. electronic ignition and glasspacks. It has the original vacuum motors for the headlights which does go up but not down. Rear brake pads do need to be replaced and currently has about 3mm pad left on each side. At idle the motor has a vacuum of 18 psi. Almost everything inside the interior works except the A. C system which the car did come from factory with it but has been removed since I purchased this car. It has power steering as well. Interior has been painted semi gloss black. The rear quarter window on the passenger side does not go down anymore. All the exterior and interior chrome is original so it does have scratches and some pitting. Hood scoop and rear spoiler are repos and were installed from previous owner. 15X7 front and 15x8 rear Cragar wheels does have oxidation and been painted dark gray. Drives nice and straight especially at high speeds. The windshield wiper fluid works and the wipers as well. The starter on the transmission could be replaced since it looks to be original and there is some cranking issues when starting it especially when its very cold outside but the engine does turn over. The engine runs great with no issues and all the valve seals were replaced about 1 year ago. Mostly the bad thing I would say about this car is the bad paint job which was done from the previous owner. Rear chrome bumper does need some straightening. The car does have a salvage title and it seems it may have been hit on the driver side door since I found bondo when I repainted the door panel and installed the weather stripped. Recently I drove the car to Los Angeles and did a little over 200 miles in one day on the freeway with no problems. All in all this car out in public gets looks and compliments all the time.
