351 Big Block 1969 Mercury Cougar PROJECT from MustangBeginnings
Up for auction is an original 1969 “H” Code 351 Mercury Cougar.
This Cougar can be restored into an awesome Classic.
Although the engine does not come with the car, we have rebuildable 302's, 351's and 390 engines available.
This Cougar would be worth at least $20,000 to $30,000 when fully restored.
BODY:
The body doesn’t need a lot of rust / body repair, but there is some rust in the roof and trunk. The frame is straight, and the quarters are in decent condition. Overall, not that much is needed to get this Cougar body ready to paint.
INTERIOR:
The interior should be brought back to excellence. The good news is that you can see what is needed. You aren’t accepting someone else’s mistakes or bad repairs. The instrument panel is in good condition, just dirty, but you will want a new dash pad. We have high back seats for the front which are not shown in the pictures. The seats will need recovering, but new covers are available to make the job much less costly. The door panels are there, but you probably want new ones anyway.
ENGINE BAY:
We have 351 engines which could be rebuilt for Go-Fast performance. The carburetor and the distributor could be upgraded with a modern Petronixs kit.
The engine bay is in great condition, and just needs to be cleaned and painted.
The car is definitely a project, but we can help where you need our help. We can sell you any of the items you may need, like new seat covers, new carpet Etc. Please ask any questions, we know someone will receive a great project and ultimately a great Classic Big Block Cougar.
The Cougar is currently off the DMV System in California. We will supply you with the documents you will need to get the car licensed in your state.
