Exterior

Ginger Bronze paint presents well, oth body and paint are in great condition with only one minor flaw in the paint. Power top is also in nice shape. Trim is original and shows some age and use. Magnum 500 wheels and tires are new. Front windows roll up correctly, ear windows as shown could use some additional fitting to close completely. One chip found in the windshield but is not spreading and does not obscure view of the road.

Interior

Seats, arpeting and door panels have been redone and are in great condition. Dash, auges and steering wheel are original. Dash is cracked. Rear panel that joins the seat to trunk area is missing and there is a visible gap with top up.

Mechanical

302 V8 engine was rebuilt at the time of restoration and sounds great through duel Flowmaster mufflers. Transmission, rakes and steering all work well. At lower RPMs, ngine will “surge” suspect that throttle linkage needs adjustment. Drivers side door interior handle is not working.

This is a nice example of a first-year Cougar convertible, ord’s other pony car.With fresh paint and new interior this car gets a lot of attention.
