6 digit DSO “535339” is special order and I don’t see a paint code. I’m betting the paint is not a regular Cougar color. I’m not sure what color Green that is bit it is sharp. Good luck finding a new home for her.

Can you add more interior, under hood pics? This car needs 2 things IMO, 4 spd and wheels

Gweesh · August 17, 2019, 4:17pm

Yes sir, I’m looking for both. Definitely would add style and driveability!

From some of the pics I see the truck lock is missing and at least one of the wheels is missing a valve stem cap. Otherwise, nice looking cat.

Gweesh · August 17, 2019, 5:01pm

Thanks! Yeah I’m having a key made for the Lock Cylinder. Good eye on the valve stem I’ll have to find it!

I presume the 351C has original heads. Are they M or H code? I couldn’t be sure from the door tag.

Gweesh · August 17, 2019, 6:25pm

Yes sir, original heads. 351-2v “H-Code”

7TXR7 · August 19, 2019, 5:34am

Wow, would be a dream starting on a car that clean!

Gweesh · August 19, 2019, 12:26pm

Here are some more pics!

It still has the factory undercoating.

Not joking when there is no rust!

Surprised I haven’t had too many offers yet, do y’all think this is a fair price?

I think $16K is fine. But remember there are not a lot of people looking for 1970 Cougars. It may take a few months to find the person who wants a cool Green Cougar.

Beside some of us have 4 or 5 Cougars already. I don’t think I need another, but you never know.

Gweesh · August 19, 2019, 5:40pm

Haha nice! Looks like you can use a nice Base Cougar!
I just ordered a Marti Report and It’s Invoice. Curious to see what the past holds!

Mike_B_SVT · August 19, 2019, 10:57pm

I’m curious about that green paint. Have you sent a sample chip to Marti yet? He’ll find the match in his paint books and tell you what color / codes it is.
