Thread: 1969 Mercury Cougar Convertible

Any convertable of that lineage should get some immediate attention. With the 351, it is a very nice setup. Your photos of the inside didn't seem too bad. It seemes the gauges are intact, and the seats not too bad for reupholstery. I was amazed also to see the original air cleaner setup, with the ducting and all still there. The unibody cancer on the seems would throw me for a loop in the repair department. Just not skilled enough to do it, but a little research and some of the body sheet metal guys I'm sure would help if you need it. Dave seems to be fearless in this area! All in all, I think you scored big time. Love those stangs, and the cougars too. Never saw that many of the cougars growing up, which makes it even more special to me.

Steve, I think Bobby is already pretty fearless in the "unibody cancer repair" department! Have you seen his Mustang thread?? I can assure you this Cougar will be sealed up and rust free by the time he's finish with it!
