Hello all, I am new here and have been reading up on some stuff but I am looking at a 69 Cougar that I want for a little project car but I am leary on buying it because I am not finding much aftermarket support for body panels. I know the car has been restored about 15 years ago and bondo was used but I would like to restore it in the future the right way. The specs of the car are:
69 with a 351w and a 4spd manual and the guy made it an Eliminator Clone.

The price I am comfortable with providing the car checks out when I finally do get to check it out.

I will try to post pics later, cant post at work.

Thanks.

Gilby

And, good used Cougar panels are always available from somebody here on this forum. Especially those from AZ ... Mike 68xr7gt4spd is an excellent parts supplier.

Yeah, there are plenty of used panels available that fit much better than the made-in-Taiwan Goodmark panels offered for the more popular muscle cars, ie. Camaros and Mustangs, and for close to the same price. WestCoastClassicCougars.com hoards them for us.

 

[Gilby959798]

Cool, anything to really look for when I go look at it?

 

[Gilby959798]

Oh and Ive tried to post pics but it keeps saying that a Moderator needs to approve

quick question, i think they are goodmark panels ive seen, but how well do the repro floor pans and rear lower quarter panels fit? thats all im gonna need, just the front/short pans and the rear behind the wheels sections...well that and the trunk floor but thats another issue...

 

[69XR7ragtop]

the chinese cheaper versions (edp coated, black) are CR#$P...be sure to get the canada made ones that are not edp coated (bare steel). On my 'vert I replaced both sides front and rear floor pans. I tried the cheap junk after using one of the canada ones and could see and feel the difference before I even tried to put them in the car.

 

[Gilby959798]

One Last try... Hope to go look at the car next week. guy is on vacation right now.

I found the car on youtube as well. Asking price is $4800.

Hope this works for you guys!

 

[Gilby959798]

alright do you have to have a minimum number of posts to be able to post pics or what? The guy is asking $4800 and I am hoping to get it for much less. I know how much it was sold for a year or so ago and unless there was quite a bit of work put into it the guy is trying to make some money...

I've tried to post pics a few times and it just says the mods have to approve but it never gets approved.

 

[spiderjason]

Welcome!!!! I hope it works out for you!!!!

I used the photobucket website. when I tried to post it said that the Moderators needed to approve what I was trying to post. I even tried to just post a hyperlink to the photos that I have and still didnt work.

 

[Four-55]
