Got a new car arriving on Tuesday. This will be moved to my back storage which is a pain in the butt. So £5,000 will buy it, UK    registered with V5, Bank Holiday special 

A very worthy restoration candidate. A 1968 Mercury Cougar 

Born with a V8 and sold new in California "8R91F" is the first five of the VIN, 8 for 68, R for San Jose factory, 91 for coupe and F for V8 302 2V engine 

Still wears its original California black plate on the back (reg plate) 

Copy of USA title from Calif in hand 

UK  V5 in hand. 

I have removed the interior so you can see fully the floor condition. Rear seats are savable. A quick wipe down improved them a ton. Front seats need recovering. No carpet.

Shifter in place, Drive shaft included. Disks up front.  

From my observation it needs a drivers front floor or patches and the passenger side seat platform welded back in as repair has already been done on that side. (I can get this work done at if the full asking price is paid. I can supply a front floor pan if a better deal is wanted and you want to do the work yourself ) 

When the car arrived with me the trunk was locked and no keys were available. With absolute amazing luck the first key I tried from my mustang worked and it popped open. Front and rear screen trim, torque converter, side lights for the wings, antenna, drivers side mirror, engine crossmember and bolts, bonnet trim, engine bay bracing and other parts were in there. I was overjoyed as the next owner will be as well AND the trunk (boot) keys were in the trunk (boot) 

Drive shaft was with the car as well 

Front disk brakes are on the car as is the Ford 8 inch rear axle  

V8 Engine is in the bay, Transmission was in the trunk (boot) but the C4 unit has major case damage 

Major parts that I notice that are needed at this point would be a transmission and front bumper 

Obviously a restoration is needed but the bones of this car are fantastic and with the interior out and the boot clear of items you can see this as well. I am more than happy to take any videos/photos of any part of the car to show you before you make a visit for a personal inspection 

Car does not run, there is no door or ignition key. If the door and ignition are the same as a mustang and I assume they are. I am able to get these parts for you at small additional cost or included at the full asking price. 

I think this would make an amazing project and with all the major parts here and the body is quite good condition you are way ahead of the game against a rotten car that you have to import 

Happy to show you the car near Colchester Essex and chat further.
