Hello,

I'm trying to determine the value of a 69 Cougar Convertible.

75k+ on body.
351 2bl, auto, factory air, manual top, am/fm, originally black interior, creme/tan exterior
Last inspected 2002. Been in a dry garage.
Solid body, minor body repairs years ago.
Needs restoration.

Pictures are always helpful when it comes to estimating valve. Along with first 5 of the VIN or the door tag info.

If you can get a Marti report that also gives a potential buyer, more to think about. Trans type?
Interestingly I have an Apr 1969, complete 351W,4spd in my garage. Complete, meaning from the air cleaner nut to the drain plug and from the crank pulley to the out shaft on the trans. Build date Apr 1969 matching numbers. Never been apart until I took it apart to inspect it. Right down to all the Ford factory tags.

Does it have a rust-free body? Got any pics?

 

[DJV]

As far as I can tell mostly rust free and original. Has been garaged since mid 70's.

Attaching photos.

 

[Rickyracer1983]

Very clean and good platform. Especially garaged. Have you spin the engine over at all? What neck of the woods are you located in?

 

[DJV]

I have not yet tried to turn over the engine. Will try that soon.

Located in South Jersey.
