HIGHLIGHTS: Black on Black on Black - Sleek black paint,
convertible top, and interior for that all-business look. American
Racing Wheels - Because a classic ride deserves a bit of muscle car
flair! Long-Term Ownership - Owned by the same person for nearly 40
years! North Carolina Car Since New - Clean southern ride!
Affordable Driver or Restoration Candidate - Your call! BODY
OVERVIEW: Spending its entire life in the southern US, this Cougar
is as solid as one would expect, especially for an unrestored car
of this vintage. The American Racing wheels add just the right
touch of attitude. This isn't a concours car, but it's got the
bones to either drive and enjoy as-is or to bring to the next
level! PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: Originally rolling off the line in
green, this Cougar has been transformed into an all-black beauty
that certainly catches the eye! The black paint is not factory
original but shows well for an older respray. Please see photos in
regards to paint imperfections. If you're seeking a show-quality
finish, this probably isn't it-but as an affordable driver, the
paint gives off a heck of a street presence without the worry of a
parking lot ding ruining your day! INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The
Cougar started life with a white interior, but now sports an
all-black theme. The seats, dash, and trim show the usual signs of
age, but for an unrestored car, it's holding up quite well! The
good news is, you don't have to treat it like a museum piece-get
in, get comfortable, and enjoy the ride. Please note that the
armrests, rear glass, and rear window cranks are not currently
installed. MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Mechanically, this Cougar is a
solid driver, though it's not without quirks. The power convertible
top, for instance, doesn't currently function, but it can be raised
and lowered manually-because hey, who needs fancy technology when
you've got the open road ahead? The 351 Windsor V8 runs like a
champ, and the FMX automatic transmission shifts as it should. It
runs and drives well enough to be a fun weekend cruiser, and
doesn't need anything to be driven today. WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT
THIS CAR: You'll love its long-term ownership history, classic
American muscle car vibes, and the fact that it's an affordable
entry into the world of vintage convertibles. The black-on-black
style gives it a sleek, menacing look, and the American Racing
wheels complete the picture! WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR:
The power top doesn't work (manual operation only), and if you're
after a show car, this one isn't there yet. The paint and interior
aren't fresh, and you'll have to deal with a little bit of age and
wear. Overall, at this price point, this car is hard to hate! DOES
IT NEED ANYTHING? The power top doesn't function-manual operation
is required. The paint and interior show signs of age but are
perfectly fine for a driver. The brake and reverse lights are not
operational. The emergency brake does not lock. The armrests and
rear window cranks & glass are not installed. WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING
FOR THIS CAR? This Cougar is perfect for someone who wants a fun,
affordable classic convertible with fantastic potential for future
restoration. If you're looking for a solid base to work from, or
just a weekend cruiser with vintage appeal, this Cougar is a
fantastic candidate! Whether you want to enjoy it as-is or bring it
back to its original glory, this is a great opportunity to own a
piece of classic American muscle history without breaking the bank!
