Very Nice 68 Cougar with rare sunroof that comes with original manual. This is a Colorado car that moved with me to Missouri about 5 years ago. Have done a list of things to it in the 13 years i have owned it, will provide receipts. It has a aftermarket stereo, but also comes with original.The owner before me had it just painted, but its still in good condition has some flaws like any older paint job.Also installed new rocker panels and drivers mirror. Had a scratch and some chips touch-up some time ago. Interior is very nice, has newer headliner, dash, ft seat cushions, heater box etc... Engine runs good newer 4bl edlebrock carb. Engine was rebuild before i owned it, have that paperwork also. Every thing is in working order, except sunroof. It did not work when i bought it, fixed it and did not use it for some time and it stop working. Has electronic turn signal sequencer. Originally it came with power steering, but converted to manual (less problems). Have all the brackets to install power steering if desired. Just need the hydraulic components, that are readily available. The Brakes are Manuel ft disc 4 piston calipers(newer) and rear drum.The trans is a C4 Auto that shifts great. Newer larger capacity aluminum trans pan. There is small leak coming from the shift-shaft-seal (easy fix) So why am i selling it? Well i don't drive it much any more so i think its time for someone else to enjoy it. Over all it is a very solid cougar that is priced accordingly for the condition.
This vehicle is 45 years old and is sold as is, no warranty.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
eBay Find of the Day: Craterface's '49 Mercury convertible from Grease
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Here is your chance to own your very own piece of greased lightning. Well, not the Greased Lighting, it's actually the black, flamed 1949 Mercury convertible that races against John Travolta in the classic 1978 movie Grease, and it's for auction on eBay Motors.
While it appeared in the film's exciting drag race in a Los Angeles storm drain, the hot rod was reportedly lost until last year, when the seller found it as a shell. He verified that it was the actual car with original builder, Eddie Paul, and sent the car for a complete restoration.
The auction includes original parts like the exhaust tips used in the movie and bent bumper from when it hit Travolta's car in the scene. The restorer recreated the scorpion stickers on the doors, razor hubcaps and license plate. He also installed a 1949 Mercury 255-cubic-inch (4.2-liter), flathead V8 and three-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
