'68 J-code C4 trans value?
« on: April 02, 2019, 05:00:17 PM »
Quick question:  I have a complete C4 transmission, originally came in a '68 Cougar with the J-code 302 engine.  I had the engine rebuilt and is currently in my '68 Mustang GT.  I'm not planning to use the transmission.  Any value to one of these for the '68 GT350 guys, maybe for a restoration project, etc?  Drivetrain was pulled from the car completely intact years ago so obviously needs rebuilding.  Thanks for any advice.

Hi Terry,

I would not expect to get a lot of coin for your tranny.  The links below show several tranny's that have sold recently, from rebuilt at $800 to used $180.  I would think someone on the site would be interested, but shipping costs could make it too expensive.   I potential buyer might rather source closer to home to keep the cost down.  I'd guess your tranny is in the $250 range.  Hang onto to it.  Someone could use, maybe advertise locally.

Best of luck.

Thanks Cory.  I had a feeling it wasn't a high dollar piece.  I'll hang on to it until someone who needs it (and is willing to come get it) speaks up.  In in west central New Hampshire.

Terry, most of the 1968 Mercury Cougars with C4 transmission, have specific tail housings for a vibration dampener. Looks like this.

I never even thought of that.  Thanks for the education!
