Here's your chance to own a SUPER nice restorable 1971 Cougar. The Car runs and drives with no issues, other than a stuck choke when starting. Strong 351C-2V engine and c-6 tranny. The car has a small 2" rust hole in passenger side floor, other floors great. Carpet and interior in good condition. Headliner is perfect. No radio. Clock does not work. A/c missing belt. Never tried it. All the chrome is in good condition and intact. Small crack on dash pad. Some small rust bubbles in front of hood and door drop offs. The down side to this car is it needs a roof reskin and the vinyl top replaced. Very rusty under top. Bought the car and have no time to do it. Willing to sell for what we have in to it, so the buy it now price is the bottom line. No trades wanted. Have clean title and receipts since new in FL. I have the build sheet, the window sticker, and all repairs since new. Third owner. Have driven the car to Daytona and back with no issues. Ran great. We are only offering this car for sale because we own (4) Cougars, and its just one too many, and this one needs the roof reskin. We bought two cars after this, and they need little work. This one needs a loving home to someone who can do the top and minimal things she needs. It has an exhaust leak on the right front manifold where it meets the collector, and have not repaired it for fear of breaking the bolt, so it sounds a slight thump thump thump on that side. This is truly a great car in an unusual original color. Have Marti report. Reskin the top and you have a great car with very little other work to do. The rear seat plastic side panels have some sun rot deterioration on them shown in photos. Have not found replacements for them. I have new seat backs to be installed. The front grille and rear tail lights just restored and repainted. The rear valance is not factory. There is a walk around video I can email to you. Any questions, call Ray at 239-823-3291 The car is in Venus, Florida and can be shown with advance notice. The car is for sale locally, and reserve the right to cancel the auction early if sold locally. $500.00 deposit due within 48 hours of auction end and payment in full and cleared funds before title is exchanged. Shipment is buyers responsibility, and sellers can assist with shipper suggestions. The car is being sold "as is-where is" with no warrantee, expressed or implied. All sales are final.
