Very Nice 68 Cougar with rare sunroof that comes with original manual. This is a Colorado car that moved with me to Missouri about 5 years ago. Have done a list of things to it in the 13 years i have owned it, will provide receipts. It has a aftermarket stereo, but also comes with original.The owner before me had it just painted, but its still in good condition has some flaws like any older paint job.Also installed new rocker panels and drivers mirror. Had a scratch and some chips touch-up some time ago. Interior is very nice, has newer headliner, dash, ft seat cushions, heater box etc... Engine runs good newer 4bl edlebrock carb. Engine was rebuild before i owned it, have that paperwork also. Every thing is in working order, except sunroof. It did not work when i bought it, fixed it and did not use it for some time and it stop working. Has electronic turn signal sequencer. Originally it came with power steering, but converted to manual (less problems). Have all the brackets to install power steering if desired. Just need the hydraulic components, that are readily available. The Brakes are Manuel ft disc 4 piston calipers(newer) and rear drum.The trans is a C4 Auto that shifts great. Newer larger capacity aluminum trans pan. There is small leak coming from the shift-shaft-seal (easy fix) So why am i selling it? Well i don't drive it much any more so i think its time for someone else to enjoy it. Over all it is a very solid cougar that is priced accordingly for the condition.
This vehicle is 45 years old and is sold as is, no warranty.

Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls
Tue, 04 Nov 2014
Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
