My ride, for sale

LoL, No not the TC.
It's my 75 cat that i've had since i was 17.
I just have too many toys,with the TC,SC and seadoo's takin up all my dough i have no time for this old girl so she's up for sale.
Jerry(Daminc)and Alex(Baxo) have both seen this car in the flesh and loved her.
Here's a little about this old cat:
Up for sale is my fully restored(10yr old restoration)1975 cougar.
The good:
Car is Black basecoat clearcoat with a half vinyl roof(roof was professionally installed by upholstery shop when vehicle was restored and looks as good as the day it was installed)all crome moldings(except around vinyl)shaved as well as mercury symbols front and rear,XR7 COUGAR and front CAT emblem still remain on both front fenders and in front of hood,grill,tail lights,headlight buckets and both bumpers mint with good crome and no damage.
Car has new brakes all around,new bfg 225/50/14s in the front and 275/50/15s in the rear with almost 100% tread remaining.
Rebuilt(new bearings,gears and seals) 3.70 ford traction lock 9" rear end with powder coated center section,new u-joints in drive shaft.
Race rebuilt C6 3 speed automatic with manual shift and 2200 stall convertor.
New shocks all around.
351M fully rebuilt with performance camshaft(.510in,.520ex)fully ported and polished 351C 2bbl heads decked .050" for added compression(approx 9.5-1),new and ported edelbrock performer 400 dual plain intake,double true roller timing set,balanced rods and pistons,crank turned 10/10( front to rear oiling mod installed for added crank oiling),full length headers with 2 1/2" exaust,msd ignition,accel crome coil,k&n 14" crome air filter,holley blue electric fuel pump with adjustable regulator,comp cams 1.73 roller tip rockers, svo high rev anti pump up lifters,3 core heavy duty radiator with electric pusher fan, and finally topped with a carter 625afb carbureator.
Interior is red vinyl with black carpeting, buckets seats with full console, interior is near mint(minor 1" crack in drs seat cushion,easily repaired by upholstery shop), dash is perfect(no cracks).
The bad:
Interior:
clock not working(hasn't worked since i owned the car).
1" crack in drs seat base cushion.
Stereo not included,dash was custom cut for newer single din radio,could install an old alpine tape deck or cheap cd player that i have laying around,does include all interior speakers(alpine and kenwood)and kenwood half din crossover.
Exterior:
small rust spot on drs 1/4 panel starting(about 1-2" in size).
small bubbles in drs door(happened soon after it was painted and never got it fixed,pretty sure it was a flaw in the paint as rust has never appeared)to make the exterior mint these two panels would need minor repair and a repaint but the car is fully show worthy even with these minor flaws,paint still shines like the day it was done.
Mechanical:
Drivers side brake light not working,needs a signal switch.
Msd tach driver not working(tachometer will not read correctly without it)tach does work though,(happened recently,pretty sure the adapter needs to be replaced)
Carbureator works but is not the best,could use a nice 650-700cfm demon which is what i was going to install before i decided to sell the car.
No washer fluid bottle installed in car,(removed due to cracked bottle,no longer have it).
Battery does function but is over 5yrs old and should be replaced for reliability.
Needs rear brake line,leaking.
Car runs and drives very nicely for a 33yr old car,if the above concerns where repaired she would be 100% mint and a very nice very rare show car,unfortunatley i have 2 many toys and she has to go to a nice home where she'll be cared for and USED as i haven't driven her for a while.

Fogs are not factory,installed by me years ago lol.
Not sure how the customs thing works,i would figure they would want you to pay tax on the sale but other than that i can't see any large fees as the U.S. dollar is higher.
New price 3300.00us.
