I am considering selling my 1970 cougar and I am wondering what to ask for it. It's a 1970 base, 351c 2v, automatic, front disc brakes. It's fully running and driving, I drive it daily.
I will start with the problems that it still has.
Has some rust on it still, the quarter panels are starting to bubble, there is some under the trunk lid and the cowl does leak some, but I have a magnetic cowl cover on it. The a/c works to a degree, but isn't great and the PO bypassed the heater core. I haven't tested it though, so it might be OK. There is minor play in the steering wheel and the swaybar end links need new bushings. There is a hesitation when you first hit the gas. It's annoying, but the car doesn't die or anything.
Now for the good stuff that it has. Top rust has been fixed and a brand new vinyl top installed. Brand new head liner. Brand new carpet. New floor pans. The interior is all there, minus the rear package tray, the rear sail panels, and the radio/HVAC trim. Torque boxes and frame rails are solid. Rebuilt carburetor, new plugs and wires. New expansion valve and drier. Headlight covers work properly. Brand new gas tank and sending unit. New wheel cylinders on the rear brakes. All of the chrome is there. Reproduction radio with cassette player. The paint is in decent shape. American Racing wheels. Original spare tire. Licensed and inspected.
