My 17 year old son and I are new members to this forum and we wanted to share his ‘first car’ purchase… a 1968 1/2, ‘R’ code, 428 CJ Cougar! We wanted to share this find with this community in an effort to help promote and document these, extremely under-acknowledged and RARE cars! We’re very excited about this find and really, had no idea what he was buying! Her it is!
Welcome. I also own an R code 68 1/2. They are very rare a total of 244 were built. If you can post the VIN and door data tag information we can decode all of that for you. This is a really special car that you will want to document and insure properly. Are you familiar with Marti Reports?
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the Classic Cougar Community. You and your son sure picked a great Cougar for your first. I look forward to seeing more pictures and information about this rare Cougar. I would suggest that you also purchase a Marti report for your Cougar.

Solid choice as a first car for a no doubt very responsible child.
