Mercury Cougar 1974 Description

I found thisvehiclein 2005; very close to my first car with a nearly identical interior. I had been looking for years. The car was bought at an estate sale; literally owned by an oldladyand was in excellent shape; it ran and rode well, nterior very clean andoriginal, xterior and frame - no rust anywhere, utomatic with floor shifter. The rear bumper chrome has been pitted since the day I bought it but shines up very nicely. I did a near frame-off restoration in 2008 (pictures available) as I wanted the color and roof tomatchmy first car. I have allreceiptssince I've owned it and it has been very wellmaintained. I use ethanol free premium gas with lead additive consistently. Runs and drives near perfectly. I am selling as my kids are grown and it's been fun but now I want a new toy. No trades please. I've kept the car running well and use it every summer since buying with my wife and kids. IntherestorationI replaced allseat belts, adio, hocks, nd many other parts. Major service since buying: Summer 2013: Transmission total rebuild; TCI automotive C6 Pro Super Kit with shift kit, oss Hog torque converter, xtra deep chrome pan and pump. 2014: full tune up, ll filters, ew master cylinder,carburetor (2 barrel) rebuild.2015: Fresh oil and filter, irst A/C recharge since I've owned it - ice cold R134Arefrigerant.
