Up for auction is my 1967 Cougar GT 390 with original date code matching (7D20) 390 engine and C6 automatic transmission and 9" 3.00 conventional rear axle.  I originally bought this car at auction with the idea of restoring it but other projects (mostly house projects) call and I need to let this go to a home that will appreciate it and hopefully be able to give it the restoration it deserves.  The car was originally shipped to Portland, Oregon and the paperwork I have shows the previous owner in Oregon, so I'd say the car has likely spent its "life" in the Northwest.  The car starts and runs great.  Odometer indicates 20322 miles though I'm sure it's more likely 120322 miles.  I've driven it just a little since acquiring it about 2 years ago. I had it out on the highway to take it about 20 miles away to a local Cougar club show this summer.  The exhaust is solid and it shifts good.  The transmission was rebuilt in 2005.  It it sits for awhile it will seep out transmission fluid.  The steering is on the loose side, though, I haven't tried adjusting the steering gear box yet.  Power front disk brakes work okay.  Wiring has been changed in places for a past stereo system and other accessories.   I'd recommend either a new harness or replacing the sections that need it under the dash and console.  Lights and sequential turn signals work, but vacuum headlights don't raise and lower.  Carlite glass in all windows except windshield are original. clean and no cracks.  Windshield has been replaced in the past and is in good condition with no cracks.  Front floor pans have been replaced and are solid, torque box is solid, inner fender panels have no rust in the usual place where they overlap.  Inside of trunk is solid with no rust in the typical places around the rear spring mounts.  Some bubbles and rust through in lower quarter panels, and lower front of driver's door and along entire lower portion of passenger door.  Front fenders have no rust.  Bumpers and trim are straight and look very nice. Front valence has a dent where the front license plate goes that would be easy to straighten.  Two small rust areas under front lip of hood that wouldn't take much to repair.  Some rust around lower corners of rear windows.  Cowl leaks thru vent on driver's side if left outside in the rain.  Lower chrome trim on the passenger side rear quarter window looks good but has come loose at the front and needs to be re-attached.  Tires look nearly new with deep tread and no cracking.  Interior is original Ivy Gold that has been unprofessionally dyed black that came out more dark grey and is peeling in places.  Plan on re-dying interior panels and new upholstery for seats and a new headliner.  Console base is solid with no cracks or breakage.  Front pad around radio area was cut and needs replaced.  I have the original AM radio.  Dash pad has no cracks and is serviceable but is a bit wavy.  One of the defrost ducts was removed but I have it to re-install.  Edelbrock carburetor works great.  I don't have the original holley carb or air cleaner.  Chrome Ford Motorsport valve covers replace the original ones.  See photo of Marti Report to see all that originally came with this car.  It was originally Lime Frost Green but has since been painted yellow.  Paint is presentable but could use a repaint which would need to be done anyway after doing some of the outer body rust repairs.  Original steering wheel is missing.  Car appears to have at one time been in a light front end collision since front grill is for a 1968 Cougar and left front inner fender panel looks to have been straightened at the front.  Radiator support and all else on the inner structure look straight.
