Please Note:
Many used items in our pictures have been cleaned and/or bead blasted prior to being photographed to show condition and detail.
The item you receive, in most circumstances, will be pulled from the donor car and shipped to you without being cleaned.
We do not retake pictures each time a used item sells. Pictures are a good indicator of what you will receive, but not all used parts age the same. On high dollar parts, email us and we can send a few pictures of the actual part available.
"Core" Items:
If we use the word "Core" in the title of the product, the item has been deemed rebuildable, but has not been rebuilt. The item you receive, in most circumstances, will be pulled from the donor car and shipped to you without being cleaned.
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 money 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 lack structural integrity for any reason be it rust, collision or failed spot welds, you will be damaging your grille in a very short time. The vacuum actuators housed in these brackets are very powerful and if these brackets do not give the support they were designed to then the pressure is now transferred to the chromed die cast portion of the grille and misalignment and cracks will result. Cougar part numbers C7WY-13A158-B - passenger side. C7WY-13A159-B - driver side. Support - Headlamp hinge.

Don and Lin, I want to thank you for my latest shipment of parts. When I took the headlight buckets out of the box I could not believe how great they looked! I had every intention of sandblasting some surface rust off of them as soon as I got them, but I will only have to wash, and put a fresh coat of paint on them! Thanks again for the amazing 41 year old parts you guys supply! Grant
