on 2040-cars

This vehicle is a survivor Jem!  For Sale is a second owner 1968 Mercury Cougar with only 58,000 miles.  This car was purchased from an Estate Sale in 2004 having 53,200 miles at the time.  It has always been garage kept and is all original except for the high back bucket seat backs that I installed because I'm a tall fellow.  The original low seat backs go with the purchase.

History:  This 1968 Cougar was purchased by the original owners, who were from New Jersey, in June of 1968.  That same summer the couple drove this Cat to Atlantic Canada, fell in Love with a tiny community off the Nova Scotia Coast and purchased an old Homestead, which became there Summer Home for many years.

Due to there age and love of the Summer Home they decided to bequeath both the Car and old Homestead to the Nova Scotia Community who in turn, decided to sell the Cat..."For Sale by Tender" for funds toward the upkeep of the Historical Homestead.  Needless to say, I became the second owner of this solid, beautiful vehicle.

Being Mercury's answer to upscale the Mustang Pony Car, the first Cougar of this fantastic design was born in 1967 but, then the birth of the 1968 model really set the stage for this car to be a luxury model that will prowl the streets for many more years.

The Cougar has had a new paint job (2011) being a base coat clear coat antique Burgundy Metallic. The new Vinyl roof plus other new accessories really sets this car ahead of the pack!  There is plenty of paper work to satisfy the discerning Buyer and you'll not be disappointed with your purchase.

The Buyer is fully responsible for any and all additional fees such as registration, taxes, import/export fees, transportation costs and other associated fees.  There is a very reasonable reserve price and considering a recent appraisal of over $28,000.00 your investment will grow.

This antique vehicle does not have a warranty and given the tremendous love and care that is continues to have, she will provide you with many more years of just purring around or really prowling the streets of your town!

As a point of interest, the original owners lived on Whig lane Road, Woodstown, NJ and, the Cougar was purchased from LM Carter Motors in Woodbury, NJ.

Please note that the rims on the vehicle are black with grey as shown within the last four photos that I added today.  The one with the Horses in the background shows the Car approx 6 years before the re-paint.

I will honestly answer any questions that you may have.

Good Afternoon...Potential Buyer!

Since I purchased this vehicle, friends of mine often advised me of similar "Vintage" 68 Cougars that pre-maturely died but, had some excellent parts.  Over the years I have accumulated numerous extra parts that are now also available.  So if this "CAT" is purchased and transported to its new "Den" by trailer, the extra parts could easily be taken as a bonus!  They are just to numerous to list but range from a drivers side front fender and door, both bumper cores, complete clear auto glass, etc, etc.

Thank you
