Published by Mike on March 16, 2017

From the seller’s description:

Outstanding two-year restoration of an original 1967 Cougar GT 4 speed A/C car. Originally painted in Inverness Green Metallic with Light Ivy Gold Crinkle interior. Car is now painted in mirror-like Black basecoat/top coat with matching Black Cougar interior. Car was stripped to bare metal, all repairs were completed with proper Cougar sheetmetal, including floor pans, trunk floor, lower quarters and rear fascia area under bumper (pictures available of completed bodywork). There is absolutely zero rust both top side and underside. Original 390 engine was rebuilt prior to my purchase and has approximately 25,000 miles. Engine runs very strong and four-speed transmission shifts perfect. Here is a list of everything that was replaced or rebuilt during the restoration.
