This stunning cougar is one of 4,024 xr7 convertibles built for 1969. It has a rare dark aqua metallic exterior/light aqua interior factory color combination (one of 48 in 1969). The seat leather is original, whereas carpet, mats and tonneau cover are new. All chrome trim pieces, including bumpers, grill, hood, deck, belt and wheel lip moldings have been re-chromed, polished and restored. The white convertible top (power) works well and is in good condition, with one small area showing wear near driver rear ¼ window. The original top was black. Under the hood is an m code 351 windsor 4v (factory rated at 290 hp sae gross) connected to an fmx automatic, both of which are believed to be original to the car. A high performance ford 90x-424a intake manifold, comparable to ones installed on shelby gt350s of the period, plus a new edelbrock 600 cfm carb, are installed. Running cat valve covers and oval air cleaner dress up the engine compartment. Magnum 500s (15x7) with aqua running cat centers are a great fit for this special cat. Ac components under dash are ready for connection at firewall. Recent new parts include heater core, pertronix electronic ignition, and power steering system with all correct hoses and other components. The suspension has been upgraded with new kyb shocks and a 1” competition handling front sway bar. The clock has been converted to quartz movement and keeps flawless time. Restoration work by previous owner included sandblasting of nearly entire body, hot tanking of major body parts including doors and rear deck, installation of new floor pans, and application of dp-90 and new paint. Previous owner also rebuilt the engine with mild performance upgrades, rebuilt the transmission and installed new parts/systems including brakes, aluminum radiator, headlight vacuum motor, driveshaft and exhaust. Extra parts including interior and exterior trim, the original air cleaner and valve covers, etc. Come with the car. An aqua xr7 center console armrest pad is available for purchase separately (the installed armrest pad is from a standard interior). The gas filler door bezel with cat on black background is from a 1970 eliminator (not available in 1969). The wood gearshift handle is rare. Both rear quarter panel extensions have "dimples" where the extensions have been overtightened from inside the trunk -- a sad but somewhat common occurrence for these cars. Service records since purchase by second owner in 1973, and shop manuals, including chassis, wiring and vacuum hose diagrams, are included. AM/FM✔ Air Conditioning
