THE ORIGINAL DOOR PANELS ARE LIKE NEW, THE DASH PAD HAS A CRACK IN THE MIDDLE SPEAKER SECTION BUT SHOULD BE REPAIRABLE. THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAD BOUGHT THIS COUGAR BRAND NEW IN FLORIDA BACK IN 1970 AND HAD MOVED UP NORTH IN 1989 AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED SINCE DAY ONE. THE UNDERCARRIAGE INCLUDING FRAME RAILS/TORQUE BOXES AND FLOOR PANS ARE ALL ORIGINAL AND HAVE NEVER BEEN PATCHED AND HAVE ZERO RUST (SEE PICTURES), THE ONLY RUST IS IN THE TRUNK NEAR THE DRAIN HOLES WHERE ALL COUGARS HAVE RUST AND A FEW SMALL SPOTS ON THE LOWER QUARTERS AND A COUPLE TYPICAL SMALLER SPOTS ON THE CORNERS OF THE DOORS WHICH ARE HARDLY NOTICEABLE. THE INNER FENDER APRONS, SHOCK TOWERS ARE ALSO RUST FREE, THE ONLY SPOT OF RUST IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS UNDER THE BATTERY TRAY LIKE MOST AND THAT IS IT.
