1968 Cougar, Dan Gurney Special, 302-V8, 230hp, Holley 4bbl, automatic

Description for Mercury Cougar 1968

This car has been in my family since it was almost new. My father bought it with less than 3,000 miles on it. The car was in San Jose, alifornia--always stored in a garage--until 1997, hen I transported it to my home in Columbus, hio. Since then, t has been driven less than 1,000, nly in the summers, nd always garaged--never taken out in the winter. There is no serious rust on the body or frame.
The engine starts easily and runs smoothly, he transmission and drive train, ncluding differential, ll seem to be in fine shape. It is equipped with factory air conditioning but that is not working now.
This would be a great car to restore--no serious rust and everything except the radio and the mufflers is stock. A full restoration would require minor body work, ew paint (and pin-striping if one wanted to match the original), ew headliner, ew carpet, ew front upholstery, ew weatherstripping around windows and some other detail work. I have a few spare/replacement parts that will go with the car: new front disks/hubs (not needed now, bought them for the future), replacement taillight, replacement light sequencing unit, nd a few other items.
