Up for sale the ElGato (Cougar) that made ElGato ElGato. :banana:
The bad: The body. It's a 2.5 out of 5. Frame solid, trunk solid, floors solid, the bottoms of the doors and rear quarters are bubbled, as is the trunk lid moulding lip.
If you run the VIN, or found the door sticker (long gone, but you can have the quaker state sticker in it's place) this 1970 Cougar started life with the following options: White with black vinyl top, red vinyl interior. Factory console, air conditioning. 351W 2v, 3 speed FMX automatic transmission, 3.00 9” rear 28 spline axles. 14” wheels with styled hubcaps. Purchased over ten years ago with the body in far worse shape...
