1969 COUGAR FOR SOMEONE TO FINISH, THIS WAS A FATHER SON PROJECT THAT NEVER GOT FINISHED AND WAS SOLD TO ME. THEY TOLD ME THE ENGINE WAS A COMPLETE REBUILD,BUT I HAVE NO PAPERS TO BACK THIS UP.IT IS A 351 CLEVLAND,NOT SURE OF THE YEAR.I HAVE CHECKED FROM BOTTOM TO TOP,AND I CAN SEE THAT IT DOES HAVE ALL NEW GASKETS. THE ENGINE WILL START WHEN YOU POUR GAS IN THE CARB,BUT I CANT GET IT TO RUN WITHOUT POURING GAS IN THE CARB. I REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP,FUEL FILTER AND BLEW OUT THE FUEL LINES.EVERYONE I TALK TO SAID THAT THE CARB NEEDS A REBUILD FROM SITTING SO LONG.I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORKING CONDITION OF THE TRANS,AS I CAN NOT KEEP IT RUNNING TO TEST.FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRANS LOOKS TO ALSO HAVE ALL NEW GASKETS.SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR I HAVE INSTALLED A NICE HOOD WITH AN ELIMINATOR HOOD SCOOP,UPPER AND LOWER FRONT VALAVCE,NEW FRONT ROTORS,CALIPERS,BRAKE PADS AND BRAKE HOSES,NEW MONROE AIR SHOCKS,NEW REAR SPEAKERS IN PACKAGE TRAY.THE INTERIOR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION FOR ITS AGE,THE DRIVERS SEAT WILL NEED A NEW COVER,AND WILL ALSO NEED A HEADLINER.THIS IS A FACTORY A/C CAR,EVERYTHING IS STILL THERE FOR THE A/C,EXCEPT FOR THE COMPRESSOR AND HOSES UNDER HOOD.THEY WERE GONE WHEN I GOT IT.EVERYTHING INSIDE SEEMS TO BE IN WORKING CONDITION. THIS IS A STANDARD COUGAR,BUT WAS OPTIONED NICE,WITH DOOR PANEL LIGHTS,TRUNK LIGHT,CLOCK,A/C,MAP LIGHT,RIM BLOWN STEERING WHEEL.THE BODY DOES HAVE SOME RUST AND PRIOR BONDO WORK, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES.IT WILL NEED A FLOORPAN PATCH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT,BUT ALL ELSE IS GOOD.THE WHEELS WILL WORK FOR A DRIVER,BUT THEY DO HAVE SOME RUST IN THE CHROME.I HAVE THE SPARE ON THE PASSENGER FRONT,BECAUSE THE TIRE ON THE MAG WHEEL IS BAD.ALL THE TIRES REALLY NEED TO BE REPLACED,AS THEY ARE DRY ROTTED FROM SITTING.THE CAR IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION,PRIOR TO BIDDING.JUST EMAIL ME AND WE WILL SET A TIME.I HAVE OVER 5,000 INVESTED IN THIS CAR,BUT HAVE RUN OUT OF FUNDS TO COMPLETE.MY RESERVE IS HALF WHAT I HAVE INVESTED,NOT COUNTING LABOR.I CAN REMOVE THIS LISTING AT ANYTIME,AS IT IS FOR SELL LOCAL.I AM OPEN TO A BUY IT NOW OFFER,BUT NO LOW BALLS.SHIPPING TO BE HANDLED AND PAID FOR BY THE BUYER.On Aug-05-11 at 03:10:06 PDT, seller added the following information: I FORGOT YO ADD THAT THE ENGINE IS A 4 BL.
