The Marketplace Classic Cougars for Sale

Nice driver that gets lots of compliments. Fits right in at your local cruise night.

This car is laser straight with no rust, no bondo, no patch panels, all FoMoCo metal! The floors frame and body are all solid. Over the past 2 years it has been gone mostly through. Runs and drives. This is a PS/AC car, missing the compressor. I still have the XR7 badges, but I like the look without so they’re not on right now. The mounting points can be felt through the top. Still has the original 9" rear. The following areas are new or rebuilt:

Candy Apple Red paint
Black vinyl top
Black bucket seat interior with console (sill plates, sail panels, headliner, carpet, seat belts, seats, door panels, arm rests, window cranks, dash, console, replaced 1 floor plan and rust coated the floor) Kick panel, speaker/grill and console aren’t in the car right now but are included any may be installed this weekend.
Gauge cluster
Tires
Misc. mechanical bits to get up and running nicely (synthetic fluids, solenoid, carb & gasket, cap/rotor, etc.)

It needs a few things to be excellent, namely some interior trim and fixing a power steering leak.

I have receipts for the things I’ve done, the rest was done just prior to my purchase. Email serbaped0@gmail.com or PM me with any questions. Located in Colorado

If you hold on long enough she will drop it… lol Mine did.

Or price it way high, and just say, “Nobody wants it!”…

Haha. I’ve been playing that waiting game. Hid it in storage for a few months and she’s still on me. Persistent little woman!

That said, she let me buy a CTS-V because it is “practical”, so I guess she’s not all bad.

Nice car

Real nice car!

Couple of observations, never saw a clock like that one in that position, different than the XR7 clock. And, never saw a PS pump mounted like yours is, way up high.

Thanks for the compliments! I’m not sure if this is the original motor, which could explain the PS pump. As far as I can tell there were a number of 69 XR7s with a clock in this position. I know the 68s were different. Where is the clock located on yours (which is nice btw)?

Yes, the location is correct for an XR7, but the clock itself is something different than the XR7 Rally Clock.

Regarding the PS pump location, whatever works, just never saw one there (that’s where the AC compressor normally sits).

Good luck with the sale (or if you end up keeping it, even better!).

The clock is from a Standard Cougar. It would have been in the just to right of center pod in the interment cluster. It is a rare item.

As for the P/S pump, I bet some one lost the original brackets and found something that would work. Out side of that it is a nice looking Cougar.

Is that one of those dash pad overlays? The pad looks odd to me in the AC vent area. I am not trying to nit pick your car, just happened to notice this and was wondering.

12

Interesting fact on the clock. I continue to realize that there’s an infinite amount to learn on these cars, they’re quite unique!

I think it’s an overlay. It’s been recently covered and feels padded underneath.

Bump. Car is still for sale.

14

Is it still for sale?

15

i believe it sold a while ago. car was a converted 4 speed and had a 302. only 2 things that kept me from going to look at it. :slight_smile:

I sure would like to chase down the buyer and see if he’s interested in selling…how might I find him…?
