As our cars are now 50+ years old. I wonder what percentage is left (registered) and on the road. 2-5%? Does anybody have an idea?
Enough to support 10 dedicated Cougar parts businesses. No one has any clue what the actual number is but it’s a lot.
Are there really 10 dedicated Cougar suppliers? I can think of WCCC, John’s, Ken’s, maybe John in South Carolina. I have a few parts on DCP, who am I missing?
I have one Cougar that’s not currently registered but will be when it’s road worthy. I think you have to count the huge number of these project cars. On the other hand there are parts cars that will never even roll again the you can’t really call viable.
Critter Creek, Cascade Classics, Cougars Unlimited, J+D Cougar Parts, Randy Goodling, and then there are part suppliers who also sell Mustang parts like Auto Krafters, NPD, Classic Industries, Perogies, Rocketman… It’s endless if you include vendors who are partly dedicated to Cougars.
National Parts Depot might be another.

I guess I got hung up on the word dedicated…
As much as I distrust Facebook it has revealed that there are far more Cougar enthusiasts than I ever imagined. I am still staggered that so many have never heard of this forum or even West Coast Classic Cougars.
I thought the same thing recently. I really
do hate Facebook but I keep it around for car group stuff since for some reason people would rather use Facebook then a forum like this. Facebook is all about the here and now but forgot about going back to reference something you read a month ago. I think Facebook has hurt forums in the overall big picture and hopefully does not put an end to them. IMO forums are so much more organized and easier to find information on.
As for the original question I think there is a growing number of cougars on the road. I saw one recently in rush hour traffic during the week. Seems they have been gaining in popularity and guys are looking for something other then a mustangs to work on.
