1969 Cougar 80,569 Miles Nice Car Mercury 69 on 2040-cars

Selling a nice 69 Cougar. I bought the car off the original owners family. The car has been garaged most of its life and was in the garage when I bought it. After the original owners wife passed away the daughter would drive it when she came home to visit. Car is a nice well taken care of original car. The paint is fadded and was repainted in the late 70s with crapy Dupont Centari paint. There was a few dings fixed and a scrape fixed when it was painted. The body is straight with a few dings and a few rust bubbles. It has a few bubbles in the corners of the left door but the inside is clean. The right door is clean inside and out and has a few dings. The front fenders are clean and straight. The left quarter has a small hole behind the left rear wheel. It was just a small pin hole and some ass hole jabbed a screw driver through it. The right rear quarter is rust free and has peeling paint off the primer of a previous repair on the body line behind the door. It appears it had a scrape or rub in that area. There is no bondo where the car would rust out. The trunk lid is straight and clean on the inside. The top is not crack and looks like there is no rust under it. The glass and windsheild is good shape. Trim is all complete. The hideaway headlights work and stay closed for a few hours after you run it. It most likely needs new vacuume lines to stay shut all day. The turn signals and rear taillights work properly. The front bumper has a upwards dent in it from the farmer/owner jacking it up with a handy man jack. The rear bumper is straight but needs rechromed. Has front power disc brakes and they work properly. There is a rattle in the right front. I think it is the shock. The engine runs great and fires right up. It has factory power steering and factory bower brakes and they work good. The factory A/C needs repaired. It was working when I bought it but has leaked off since. The A/C hose that goes from the condensor to the compressor is loose where it is crimped to the tube. The interior is in nice shape. The dash,carpet,seats, door panels, console and weatherstrip are all original and has no cracks or tears. Even the weatherstrip is not cracked. The headliner was replaced with the correct pattern headliner. The under body was undercoated when new and has no rust. The torque boxes and frame rails are rust free. The front floor pans are great inside and out. Under the back seat there was a few pin holes in the floor pan from the inside and it was fixed. The trunk drop downs are straight and not rusted. I took out the interior and washed out all the rockers,floors and quarters then I rust proofed everything. It has a new fuel pump. It runs and drives great and I would not be afraid to drive it anywhere. I have the original Cougar hub caps but I took them off and put on Mustang hub caps. I have the original warranty card and original purchace invoice. Have 2 build sheets from under the carpet. I also have several papers from the owner. I am a small car dealer and collect cars also. I bought this car and would like to keep it and do a Cougar Elminator clone but I need to spend some money on 4 other cars I am restoring so I am letting this one go. Since I am a car dealer in IL you will have to pay title and sales tax if you live in IL. Any questions you can call my shop at 2one7 2two9 3four2four
