This deluxe wood-grain two spoke wheel was used on the majority of the Mercury Cougars built for 1968 and many other Ford, Lincoln and Mercury cars through 1969. The back portion of the wheel on the 1968 Cougar Decor level interior cars was color coded to the interior of the car. On the Standard models for 68, the first part of the year would have used a wood grained deluxe wheel and the later part of the year was a solid colored wheel.

This steering wheel was used only on standard interior 68-69 Cougars and will not fit a 1967 or 1970 - 73. Most Cougars were equipped with decore or XR7 interiors which used a two spoke wheel with woodgrained rim in 1968 and an all together different three spoke Rim Blow wheel in 1969. If you have a deluxe woodgrained wheel in your 1968 decore or xr7 equipped Cougar this solid colored wheel will accept your existing horn ring and pad.

This deluxe wood-grain two spoke wheel was used on the majority of the Mercury Cougars built for 1968 and many other Ford, Lincoln and Mercury cars through 1969. The 1968 XR7 would always use the black backed wheel, as the XR7 package had the lower dash and steering column painted black as well.

Cracked wheel good for restoration. Usually cracked at 12 and 6 as well as on the two spokes. Check out this video

This is a restored 1968 steering wheel that is correct for all but the later production, standard interior equipped 1968 Cougars. Only the XR7 & XR7G received the woodgrain center section, the decor and standard interior equipped Cougars received a color coded to the wheel vinyl insert. All 1968 Cougars used this center emblem except the XR7G which used a larger metal version. This wheel does not include the center pad assembly or horn ring (shown for display purposes only). As we prefer to...

Good used wheel with no cracks but will show wear on the woodgrained fascia. We usually have several wheels for $20-$100 more and $20-$100 less than the wheel pictured here. Most are black in color but we do have a few colored wheels. Call for the many details and options. Check out this video

Average condition with no obvious blems, but will show substantial fading. A perfect replacement for our woodgrain Burl wraps if yours is caved in or corroded and nasty looking. Check out this video

Grade C will have terrible paint and dings which can be pushed out from the backside with your thumbs. This will require our repro burl applique. Check out this video

B grade pad has shrunk to the point that the center section will not fit well and you may have to file some of the plastic away for a proper fit, it will be curling a little at the top where it meets the wheel and overall will be rather hard from UV exposure. Additionally, it may show some signs of wear to the texture of the graining. If you state your preference in the comments section we will try to accommodate you on color.

Reproduction Two Spoke Steering Wheel Pad for the 1968 Mercury Cougar Check out our video review

Used on all Cougar steering wheels except XR7 which had a wood-grain center. We have most colors in stock but they usually need to be repainted. No guarantee you will get the color of your choice.

Correct for standard and decor level interiors. No guarantee you will get your color of choice. Comes as shown with bezel, emblem and vinyl surround. Engineering number as seen on back of bezel reads C8AA-3D754-A

Our grade "B" rods are just as straight as our grade "A" used rods but the will show pock marks from rust after you clean them. One can fill and sand but it will take time. These are still a much better value than the Chinese rods we sell. This listing is for the driver side only. Compared to what you will find in most regions of the country these would be considered to be very clean in terms of rust damage.*Note - 1970-73 strut rods work equally well.

Nuts and bolts, associated with the installation of our used 1968-69 strut rods. 1 large and medium nut for the front, and two bolts and nuts to attach to the lower control arm.

This nut fits onto the strut brace at the front of the car, and not the control arm end. It is the lock nut that goes on after the the bigger strut rod bushing nut.Replaces Ford part # 340460-S

Replacement turnsignal switch for all 1968 Mercury Cougar and Ford Mustang with fixed (non-tilt) steering columns. If you have replaced your sequential unit in the trunk with one of our new solid state sequential units and are still having problems then the turn signal switch is most likely the culprit as the only other part to the system is the wiring harness itself. The relay under the dash almost always is weak (pulsates dimly instead of distinct blinking) but its sole purpose is to...
