1968 Mercury Cougar Base
289 4v but there's a catch!!!!
This Car was built shortly after the Ford strike in 1968...and the engine received some 302 parts! This is an all original car- NUMBERS MATCHING!
Even the paint is original, as well as the interior, with a few updates.
Engine was torn down to block, completely rebuilt with new rings and honed. Original crank, rods and pistons remain, as they were all in excellent condition.
-A new Holley 650 4 barrel carb. with choke was installed to allow the 289 to breathe better.
-COMP Cam was installed to wake up the engine- very mild lobe profile
-New TYR long tube headers and Flowmaster exhaust complete the re-instal.
-New Interstate battery as of last month-
-West Coast Classic Cougar head light relay system- making the headlights about 60% brighter now that they take their voltage directly from the battery.
-New power brake booster installed less than 50 miles ago
Interior:
-Dash clock has been converted to TACHOMETER
-New BFG Radials- less than 1000 miles on them
-Retro Sound audio system with AM/FM, Bluetooth with hands free phone, and MP3 capability
-new IN-DASH speaker
-Kick panels with 6 1/2 Alpine speakers in the foot wells
-New CUSTOM MADE KNIFE HANDLE STEERING WHEEL billet adapter
-all in-dash bulbs are now LED, and a WCCC LED bulb relay is installed, so all indicators work properly

Pictures don't do this ride justice, so if you have any question at all, don't hesitate to contact me directly.
I've set the reserve well below appraised value of the car- no strings attached. I must sell do to health reasons and need find her a good home before the Summer kicks off!
Bid with confidence, as my feedback speaks for itself.
All buyers will be responsible for pick up in the Cleveland, Ohio area.
