The Marketplace Classic Cougars for Sale

I am selling my hobby car because I have run out of things that I can repair and/or make better. The car is in very good shape mechanically. I am the second owner. It is a nice car that drives well and does not overheat. The body is in good condition with straight metal. No accidents. I have spent about $28,000 to date on the car and its restoration. It is a 351W, 4 speed manual, with 141,200 miles on the odometer.

Asking $25,000.

Almost all electrical and mechanical systems repaired and upgraded. Here is a partial list.

  • New top and new lifting cylinders.
  • Engine rebuilt by Dan’s Machine Shop in Livermore, CA.
  • Edelbrock intake manifold and carb with electric choke
  • Upgraded engine electronics: Summit Racing ignition, Pertronix full voltage start relay, larger alternator, ignition wires, coil, headlight relay, and horn relay.
  • New clutch.
  • Rebuilt and upgraded radiator.
  • Brakes including master cylinder, lines, and power booster.
  • New R-12 AC compressor, evaporator, and condenser.
  • Instrument upgrades: New tach, rebuilt speedometer, voltmeter, ignition switch, turn signal switch, headlight switch, radio, and sequential turn signal controller. LED lights in instrument panel, turn signals, side lights, etc.
  • New steering wheel and turn signal switch.
  • Interior including new bucket seats.
  • New heater core and all new silicon vacuum hoses.
  • New shocks, rear springs, and tires.
  • Applied Eastwood internal frame coating
  • Repaired rusted floor pan and driver’s door.

Many extra original parts: Rim blow steering wheel, carb, trim, front seats, etc.
Here are some pictures. I can send many more to anyone who is interested.

Where did you get the 3 point seat belts and did you have to replace the seats, rear side panel? Thanks, Brian

Hi: I bought the seat belts from SeatBeltsPlus.com: Part # CH256P-3000. These are not the retractable seat belts, just three point. I reused the seat belt floor mounting points for the ends and added the slider to the side panel. I had to drill a hole in the existing side panels for the bolt to go through but that was all. There is a metal brace behind the side panel that I attached the mounting point for the slider to and I beefed up that brace to resist any pullout forces if I did hit something. Basically a large, thick washer to spread out the force so the bolt would not pull through the metal. I used a threaded rod coupler bolted to the metal brace and then the bolt that goes through the slider goes into the coupler. I had to trim the coupler down to make it all fit but it was not that difficult to install.
