We have here a sexy, black ’69 Mercury Cougar Convertible. I’ve enjoyed restoring it and driving it forthe last 10 years, but I need some cash and it’s time to let her go. These are rare…they only made about 5800convertibles. This triple black versionhas a Holly 4bbl, 351W motor matched to a FMX trans. I bought it on eBay from California, althoughI do not believe it’s a western car due to the rust. Replaced nearly every panel with rust-freeCalifornia panels before painting it black so body panel rust is no longer aproblem. However, like mostconvertibles, the floor pans are toast and should be replaced.
The 10 Best things:
1. 1.Priced to sell at $11,900 as there is no reserve. Clean title, registered andplated.
2. 2.Looks good from 20 ft. Paint is fair, some scratches and swirls butwaxes up nicely.
3. 3.Starts every time and runs smoothly.
4. 4.Cragar rims and low mileage BF Goodrich tires.
5. 5.Moroso chrome valve covers, air cleaner and exhausttips.
6. 6.New shocks, brakes, battery, aluminum radiator.
7. 7.New carpet and recent stereo and speakers.
8. 8.Has all glass, decent rag top and cover boot.
9. 9.Has full size spare, working taillights,uninstalled vacuum system for front light doors.
10. 10.Gets thumbs ups and compliments at everystoplight.
The 10 worst things:
1. 1.Definitely not numbers matching and will neverbe a show car.
2. 2.Previously mentioned rust issues in floor andundercarriage.
3. 3.Tranny is pulsing? Drives fine butdisengages/reengages after a stop. Noidea what’s wrong.
4. 4.Needs new suspension soft parts (bushings) andmaybe tie rod ends
5. 5.Exhaust is less than perfect – sufficient butdue for new pipes front to back.
6. 6.Passenger side rear quarter dent shown inpicture.
7. 7.Small dimple in hood where air cleaner nut pushedthough (ugh!!!).
8. 8.Doors are sagging and push button handles needadjustment.
9. 9.Horn and some gauges don’t work – can’t rememberwhich ones?
10. 10.Top goes up and down manually – motors needattention.
My fix list order is 1) trans repair, 2) suspension, 3) floorpans, 4) vacuum light install, 5) doors and windows. I wasn’t going to repair the dent or the softtop motors (never rains in AZ).
I’d love to keep her and frankly, if she doesn’t sell, I’mhappy to keep her around for more financially healthier times. In other words, no need for lowball offers. Questions...just ask.
