Well,after storing my 1979 Cougar in my dry garage for the last 26 years,I've finally figured that I'm never going to do anything with it.Now I want it to go to another good home.I bought this car 26 years ago from a minister that towed it to this area from Las Vegas Nevada.It's NEVER been driven in snow or salted roads.This car is 100%rust free.Has 351 Windsor and column shift automatic trans.The car is white with a white padded roof.Has gray velour interior.Has glass mirrored moon roof,power seat,power windows,am/fm radio,air conditioning.Has factory deluxe wheels.All chrome and paint is just about perfect.Now the bad part.....when I got the car,the engine was noisy.I pulled the engine out and dis-assembled it.The oil pump had gone bad probably due to not having frequent enough oil changes.The engine needs to be rebuilt.I also have a another used 351 Windsor that needs a timing chain installed that goes with the car.I pushed the car out of my garage just this past week. This is a great rust -free car to put a good engine in.About 20 yrs ago,I borrowed the radiator from this car for my daily driver.Afterwards,I bought a new radiator from NAPA and put it in the trunk.It's still there.Also,in 1993,I bought the four original centers for the wheels from our Local Ford dealer.They're still in the plastic bags on the rear seat.When I bought this car,the last owner had just installed new brake pads,brake shoes,master cyl,complete exhaust system,alternator,voltage regulator.
Been sitting for 26 yrs. I checked NADA classic car price.Low retail is $3475.00 Average retail is $6,075.00 and high retail is $9,990.00 So if you have a good engine,or want to rebuild one that goes with the car,you'll have a real nice cruiser for cheap money.   This car is a true " barn find " I can accept cash only when this car is picked up.Any shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.Hook up your car trailer and come get it.This is a nice area to take a ride.
