This part affixes to the backside of the headlamp cover and acts as a hinge. The design was changed 12-15-67 so you will have to know the date in which your grille was built. All 1967 model year Cougars were built prior to 12-15-67 but we mention this here as many 1967 Cougars have had 1968 replacement parts installed over the years. The brass bushings have been inspected for wear, no collision damage and no rust. Both adjustment bolts are included with the hinge, the bolts in which the hinge...

The High tone is indicated in raised letters located on the perimeter of the horn. The 1971-73 almost uses the same horn and bracket as the 1967-68, but was mounted at a different angle, so if you have a 1971-73 you will need to loosen the screw that holds the horn to the bracket and rotate the horn to the correct position.  These horns are close but not actually correct for a Cougar. 1967-68 Cougars used part number C7WF-13802-B Lo / C7WF-13801-B Hi and 1971-73 used D0DF-13802-A Lo /...

Used to mate the headlight vacuum hoses together at the front cross beam under the core support. Notice it still has the remnant of green paint used to identify where the color coded hoses are to be placed. Cougar part number C7SZ-13A169-A.

This used original, color coded set of vacuum hoses is 100% complete and relatively pliable. It comes complete with decades of dirt and grime (patina) for no extra charge. If you want to remove the grime it will take some serious elbow grease but it can be done. The color coded stripes are quite resilient to cleaning as the ink used actually embedded itself into the rubber. "I found a good way to remove 50 years of crud. Soak the lines in hot water and dawn dish soap for a bit then take a...

Used Grade "A" Grille Center Medallion for the 1967 and 1968 Mercury Cougar. These will not have pits or damage to the chrome.

Do you want to replace those worn out actuators yourself or are you looking for some great information on aligning the grille in your Cat? The videos below are your ticket! Check out this video ...

Rechromed Grille Center Medallion for the 1967 and 1968 Mercury Cougar. Unfortunately the polishing and plating process will take away much of the detail. Cores must be pit free or very close to. Like all of our rechromed parts, if you have exceptionally clean cores and have high standards you will want to send your cores in advance. When you do we will do what we call "core matching". If you send in parts with ZERO pits you will get back restored parts that had no pits prior to replating. If...

Used aluminum "Mercury Man" head for the center grille medallion. These are just pressed and swedged into the die cast bezel and come out easily with a light tap from behind. Keep in mind these highly amplified pictures make the emblem look much worse than it really is. Do know that the one you get will have light road debris wear but no major scratches, pits or scrapes. You will also want to replace the background foil decal when you purchase this emblem. Part of Ford assembly C7WY-8A223-A ...

If your Cougar came from a region that uses road salt your buckets are probably rusted in the corners or worse. Our dry "West Coast" buckets are 100% rust free and the mounting tabs are not broken from the removal of stubborn bolts. They will not be bent or damaged in any way. Keep in mind we do have grade B brackets for much less that only have minor bends or blems that could be easily corrected. *NOTE* These parts are far more important than most people realize. If they structural integrity...

With minimal work they can be show quality or can be used for a driver as is. *NOTE* These parts are far more important than most people realize.

The vacuum actuators housed in these brackets are very powerful and if these brackets do...

These grade C headlight buckets will have rust and significant corrosion on the sides or corners (see photos above), but usually in the areas that are hidden when installed. A good part nonetheless, they're just not as pretty as one would hope for. This listing is for someone who doesn't care about the inner appearance, or maybe wants to do a little fabricating on their own to make the bucket presentable.  NO RETURNS WILL BE ACCEPTED ON THESE GRADE C BUCKETS.   *NOTE* These...

This is a 100% accurate reproduction down to the captured lock washer and black Zinc coating. The only difference is that these are made from a substantially better grade of steel than the originals. These often break when you try to remove them to replace the vacuum actuator so if you are planning on doing that procedure we highly recommend buying these in conjunction with the actuators. Sold individually, two required per car. Cougar part number C7SZ-13A173-A. Also Fits: 1967 Ford...

New to the market grille fix for 1967 - 1968 Mercury Cougars / Patent Pending. These simple little grille repair clips have been needed since these cars were new! Over the years we have seen a multitude of home remedies to fix this common problem but none were this clean looking, easy to install and failure proof. Soon we will be listing all the different FoMoCo applications these clips will work on. These clips are sold as a set of four. NOTE: We've found that removing the legs from one side...

Unfortunately the premium version is no longer available.  This version is made of a softer compound than the original bumpers and will not hold up as long as the originals did on a Cougar due to the force that the actuator exerts.  Sold as a Pair. Check out this video Check out this video

New black screws for attaching the headlight doors to all 1967-68 Mercury Cougars. Four screws needed per side for a total of 8 per car. We have found 3 different styles of separate screws that were used during the 1967-68 model run, San Jose and Dearborn may have accounted for a difference. This one matches exactly to one of the more common ones that were installed. Replaces Ford Part number 376352-S15.

UPDATE 11-19-20: We still do not have the shaft seal dialed in but we are offering this kit with a proven substitute seal until further notice. This kit will recondition most FoMoCo headlamp actuators built from 1967 into the 70's on most any Thunderbird, Torino, Lincoln, Cyclone or Marquis. The kit will service two actuators even though many cars only come with one center mounted unit. If your actuator holds vacuum on the bottom port but does not hold vacuum (or pressure) on the top port then...

This spring puts tension on the headlight adjusting ring so when you turn the screw on the adjusters the ring remains tight and will move as adjusted. Sold individually, four required per car. These small springs about 0.360" diameter, were used in 1967-68, a larger spring was used in 1969 through 1973, which will fit the early Cougar. Ford number C6SZ-13031-A.

This is the dual port version used on UNITS BUILT PRIOR TO MAY 17, 1967. There was also a single port version in the later part of 1967. These dual port units always leak at the port fitting (easily sealed with epoxy) and the one way check valve never functions properly. Our Western grade A tanks are rust free. Keep in mind we have units that are not as clean looking but still hold vacuum for about half the price. Ford part #C7WY-13A185-C.

Used support bracket for the hood latch on any 1967-68 Mercury Cougar. L shaped support bracket goes on top of the hood latch assembly. It also attaches to the radiator core support.Ford part number C7WY-16707-A.

Unlike the 1968 Cougar headlight switch, the 1967 and 1971-73 version does not have the three vacuum ports connected to it. Don't be fooled . . . Most vendors will sell you a Mustang switch and tell you it is the same. Visually it may look the same but internally it has a circuit breaker designed for a two headlight system, the Cougar has four headlights. If you only use the low beams you would be fine but if you have all four lights on you will soon experience a blackout. If your original...

Sold individually, two required per car. This is the same as the 1970 bracket, just different design of clips are used.

These tension springs are located on either side of your hidden headlamp eyelids. Our springs are made from the exotic alloy "Inconel". Inconel springs have approximately ten times the memory of the originals which were made from the much more common and inexpensive "piano wire". These springs have been engineered to have the exact same elasticity as the originals but will last decades longer than the originals which from our experience with NOS, usually lose their memory within a year and...
