This is a true survivor with all original interior, original paint, engine, and matching numbers. My dad and I have maintained this car for nearly 40 years, and it has been well taken care of and serviced. The headlights are clear and the headliner looks brand new. The rare and original Emergency bag is in the trunk noted in the pictures along with the hard to find floor mats. Driver’s floor mat does show some wear.
The originality of this car is unquestionable and retains a beautiful shine in the paint and a clean interior. The interior pictures note the different colors in the seats, but this only because the suede inserts still show and smell like new. There is minor wear on the driver side bolster and that is all. All the electronics work including the radio/equalizer, power antenna, power windows, cruise control, remote mirrors, remote seats, interior and exterior lights, brake, and backup lamps, etc.

The Cougar drives straight and the brakes and brake lines have all been inspected prior to the auction. Shifting is outstanding as it should be since the transmission was professionally rebuilt (with local 1-yr warranty) this past February along with all the other work. This Cougar is ready to go!!

The air conditioning is still R12, but will be converted prior to the new owner, picking it up and charged. A new blower motor was installed in 2009 and should work, but this is not guaranteed in the sale.

There is no rust in the car anywhere, and I have detailed pictures of the under body and will provide more pictures upon request. Also two scratches are noted in the pictures one on the front bumper and one on the driver side door. My Dad work for Ford for 31 years and when he bought the car from Bob Maxey Lincoln/Mercury of Detroit, MI in 1988 he had them hold the car until he could drive it home 4 miles to Grosse Pointe without it getting wet. This Cougar truly has been loved and reflects in its current condition.

The Cougar is located in Elizabethton, TN 37643 and can be inspected per the bidder's request. I highly encourage inspections as I know the new owner will not be disappointed. I have the receipts for over $4000 in the work above and they will go with the car as well. I welcome all questions and request you send an email through eBay and I will respond and set a call as needed.

I have bought and sold several vehicles on eBay and have great shipping contacts for those that need assistance with vehicle pick up and transportation.
