Very special 1968. 5 s-code, 6. 5 litre mercury cougar. This big-block, 4-speedcougar has just finished a fresh, no-stone-unturned, 6-year rotisserie restoration. Nothing was left untouched onthis painstaking restoration with extreme attention to detail starting from a rust-free arizona body. This cat features a functional ram-air system with the 1968. 5, 428-cj, gte-style hood scoop, paint stripe andflapper-air cleaner. This is also one of the first big-block cougars to receive the reinforced shock towers (notavailable on earlier cougars). The car is fully detailed throughout. The bodywork on this cougar sets it apart from the rest. The fit, finish and straightness of this body are justnot found on 99% of high-end restorations. Every corner issharp, every line is crisp and panel fitment is something to behold. The paint is impeccable. Dupontbase-clearcoat was applied in gunmetal gray. To say that the paint “pops” is a real understatement. This carwas ordered in a custom color. As such, there is no paint code. The marti report confirms this. They have beenreinforced to stay that way too. The vehicle is mostly stock, with the following exceptions: it originally came with the decor group trim. It hasbeen fitted with an xr7 tachometer dash with full instrumentation and xr7 wiring. The woodgrain dash (and steeringwheel center) has been modified from the dark burl pattern to a more sporty gray/black woodgrain to complement thevehicle's color combination. This was done at an oem prototype shop and looks very factory and very awesome. Thehood scoop and associated paint and hardware are an addition. The leather seats (although, original cougar seats)are not original to the car. The original dash, wiring and vinyl seats are included in the sale of the vehicle. The car has a few hundred miles on it now and is well sorted out. Everything works as it should, including thehide-away headlights, reverse lights, sequential turn signals, etc. All options function properly as well,including, tachometer and instrumentation, all lighting, the automatic choke, power brakes, power steering, etc. The engine runs very well. All sound deadening has been replaced and the car is very quiet and solid.
