Found this cougar on Ebay. Girlfriends been wanting one, I have a 69 torino, being built as a street strip car, so we've been looking for something we can drive the heck out of.
Found this 1970 on craigslist, its a base model with the decor interior, 351c 2v, auto, AC. Picked it up for 3100.00 The kid who owned it prior to me cut out and replaced a lot of rust, he replaced the floor pans (shotty job a bit thou) and put on a vinyl roof and new headliner, dynamat throughout the car and new carpet. Also has a new gas tank
He seemed to be trying to change it from green to black. I personally like the green and plan on keeping it. My intention is to polish it up, and make it reliable enough to daily drive, and stop any rust I may come across.
I drove it home 60 miles and ran into a nice thunderstorm, car got home safe and purred like a kitten. Wipers worked and AC worked well enough to keep windows from fogging up. I was white knuckle but nothing like the awesome feeling of bonding with a new classic on your first drive.
Immediate on the list is to sell wheels and tires for magnum 500's the 15x10 80's look on the rear has got to go!
However the sequentils work, as do the flip up lights. Brake lights are a hack job though, everything else works really well, engine stubles a bit on takeoff, transmission shifts great. Rear decklid, and bumper have to most rust I can tell.
