Je me présente , je m’appelle Philippe LACROIX . J’ai 30 ans . Je suis de Lyon en France . Et voici ma Mercury Cougar de 1969 avec un 351 ci Windsor.
J’ai besoin de conseils pour la restauration de ma voiture alors n’hésiter pas a me contacter.
I just sold this '85 Celica GTS recently. I got it out of a field where it had been sitting for years, in 2019! My wife and I drove it all the way to California and back on a 5,000 mile road trip right after I got it running again.
I drove it daily, intending to keep it until I got my Cougar running again, but the engine has taken forever. It’s still at the machinist now. When the sunroof failed and stuck “open” I decided to sell the Celica so that it wouldn’t be ruined. The buyer flew two friends all the way out from Seattle, and they drove it back home from my house in Kansas.
Thanks, guys. It was tough letting her go! I just couldn’t let it go to waste, and I don’t have the finances to get both my beloved '67 Cougar and the Celica fixed up at the same time.
With the choice of Veronica (my XR7 Cougar), or the Celica, of course I chose Veronica. We’ve got too much history, and frankly, as much as I truly loved the Celica, I am even more deeply passionate about my old Merc.
Bonjour, bienvenue au club de Cougar 69 ! Cela fait longtemps que je n’ai pas traversé Lyon (j’ai souvent conduit les Asturies à Paris, mais Lyon est un grand détour).
I wrote that out using my French from school/ and from crossing the border from Spain… then I wrote it into the web translator …. and it looked nothing like what I wrote… best stick with the tech translated!
That is a great daily driver….Don’t worry, we had a car written off by hail… so whilst waiting for a new car, my daily driver for the last six months is our farm $hitter!!! 1989, unleaded, 8 valves, 1.6L, and a half kilo carb hidden under kilo of hoses!
