This is my absolute favorite Cougar - Mustang - Shelby option of all time! In fact, as a rather tall person that is not as slim as I once was, I do not really enjoy driving a Mustang or Cougar that does not have this option. This column does not only manually adjust up and down with the depression of the turn signal wand, it also releases and swings up and towards the passenger side of the car each time the ignition is turned off and the door is opened. To start the car you must close the door and pull it back down into the down position. We often have to combine parts from two or three parts cars to get one complete, working unit that includes the vacuum storage can under the battery tray, unique steering coupler (rag joint), under dash wiring harness, unique secondary door jam button, relay, vacuum actuator, brackets, turn signal cancellation cam, spring and correct hardware. We always pull the collar to check for cracks or missing parts before shipping. Turn signal switch is included but not tested or guaranteed.
Keep in mind that we do take trades to apply to the purchase price. We accept columns and parts from any column from 67 - 73 Cougars or Mustangs.
*NOTE* For tilt column service, you can contact Tony Augustine at 6t8cougarguy@gmail.com. Tony is a trusted colleague of WCCC and we've sent many customers his way since our column specialist retired last year.
WCCC no longer has an in-house service for tilt and tilt-tilt away steering columns 1967-1979.
After several years of working exclusively with Tony Augustine in MO, we can highly recommend him as one of the most knowledgeable builders of these unique columns in the world.
We now exclusively send all of the columns we sell as rebuilt to Tony for service.
He can be reached at 816-210-4779 or 6t8cougarguy@gmail.com
Make sure you tell him WCCC sent you!
