Nice unrestored GTE With “correct original engine/trans”. W code motor.
Not mine but is the same seller as the XR7 G on eBay. No real pictures of vehicle and no history noted. There is a Marti report shown in the pictures.

Not sure hyperlink will work but it does work if you cut and paste it into your internet browser.
I’ve seen the car. Mostly original paint and interior. He rebuilt the numbers matching drivetrain. I suggest anyone with an interest call him to discuss. He’s not much of an internet guy.
I would rather see a listing like this than a poorly done one. Back in the day the classified ads all were 2 lines and with no picture. Someone that actually takes the time to call and go look will probably net a pretty good deal on a very rare car.
That is a cool car! It looks as straightforward as the ad. Royce: did you check it for signs of rust?
Speaking of rust - It has my rust lust going - Oooh that great color on a GT-E!!! Somebody’s going
to be happy with this one.

I think the ad in 1977 for my car in the “Antiques and Classics” section of the Left Angeles Times said, “'68 Cougar GT-E. $3K (213)XXX-XXXX”
I looked at the car 10 years ago at Carlisle. I don’t know anything except the interior and outside looked nice. Suggest that you talk to Mike to hear more.
exactly these Car was the very first GT-E I drove in my life. In Mikes Garage since outside was 2ft of snow… lol
Anyone interested in this car should call Mike and get the details.
GT-E’s are my favorite Cougars. Black Cherry is my favorite Cougar color. Numbers matching is my favorite state. Original paint is my second favorite. Timing is everything. I wish the timing was better on this one.
The owner sent me more pictures. If interested, you should reach out and request the pictures. A few rusty spots and the interior needs work. If you are in the market it would be tough to find a prettier color. I am trying to get up to see it but my schedule has been nuts.
