Mercury Cougar GT (1968)
for sale

Price: US $12,500.00

Description:

This is a very clean 1968 Cougar Hardtop Base (not an XR7) with the GT Equipment Group. All numbers are matching...including the sheet metal. This is a nice, easy project for someone with the time and ability to finish it. All the hard and expensive work is done. It has a big block 390ci-4V code 'S' (325hp) professionally rebuilt engine with headers and less than 100 miles on the rebuild. The engine runs very strong! The automatic trans is a heavy duty 3 speed C-6 Merc-O-Matic, which shifts perfectly. The exterior has recently been professionally refinished in the original code 'N' Diamond Blue color (white with a tint of blue) and it looks beautiful! The interior is Light Blue in nice original shape with a bench seat and floor shifter. The odometer reads 30, 903, which I believe to be accurate based on the condition of the body, frame, interior panels, seats, carpet, pedal wear and the fact that it was previously a drag car. This was originally a West Coast car built at the San Jose plant. I have a clean NH title and Marti Report for the car. The Marti Report shows it had power steering originally, but that has been removed and I don't have the necessary components to put it back in. I believe the only parts missing are the front and rear valances

which are readily available from Mustangs Unlimited at $250 for both pieces. The engine, dash, seats, and floor shift are installed, but the carpet, door panels, and all glass needs to be installed. A front sway bar also has to be installed, which I have. The passenger side of the bench seat seams are split, which any upholstery shop could repair at a reasonable cost. Otherwise the seats, door panels, and carpet are in good shape. As of May 2015, Hagerty values this car @ $
31, 400
in #1 condition,
$24, 000
in #2, and
$17, 100
in #3 condition. It really wouldn't take much to put this car in #2 condition if you have the ability and desire. All the expensive and hard work has been done. This would make a great car for the muscle enthusiast that wants a real nice car for short money and a little sweat equity. I just have too many projects going on and have to free up some cash to complete them. I am not interested in trades of any kind. I feel my Buy It Now price of $12, 500 is very fair but will consider
reasonable
offers close to this figure.

NO LOW BALLERS, PLEASE!
