One sharp looking Cougar. But for some reason I thought A/C was not available on a 429CJ Convertible due to weight, Plus VIN 1F92J500017 should have been a show car unit that A/C would not have been on. But I’d drive it with the top down.

With this cool 70’s interior. But only a 351C 2v power.

You sold it ? Missed that post :slightly_frowning_face: I remember when you got it.

I’d be a bidder on the 71 if it was a hardtop

I enjoyed it a lot. But decided I needed more capital for the Yellow 70CJ Cougar. I let it go to a good buddy not too far away. That was in summer(?) 2024.

This car looks familiar , I think I followed it on a past auction , I thought one of the 429 blue demo cars did receive a/c at the factory . Was this one it or was it added Original motor?
