Description

Don't want to. but I've my eye on another vehicle. Here's my pride and joy for the past 7 years my beautiful 1968 Mercury Cougar. No it's not the mustang that everyone and their grandmother have. but yes it is the Luxury/Muscle Mercury Cougar. an icon of Mercury in 1968 and present day. and it truly lives up to its name. Literally. I have done all the heavy lifting and all that is left is a Leather interior near to being perfect. with a primer black finish ready to be painted. it also has all the chrome trim and emblems. It has never been tracked. but sure has seen its fair share of red lights next to someone who thought they could really beat this beast. It also has a rebuilt Ford 289 (Sounds more like a 427). original working headlight actuators. working sequential turn lights. and front disc brakes. This car is such a head turner. it even has won a Pep Boys summer car show award for "Best Muscle Car" and is not even done being restored yet!I really can't even take it out once without someone wanting to talk to me about what it is. how nice it sounds. or how much they like the car. But none the less she is an amazing car that starts up everytime. turns all the heads. and catches the lights of a police officer every now and again because of how loud she is. You can't beat this with how much joy comes with her. and the only thing "wrong" with her is the fact you will not be able to find another one like her at any car meet or parking lot.
