Randy,
Are the GT fender emblems 68? My 67 GT has square GT emblems.

I bid on this on the BaT auction it eventually ended up on. The winning bidder ended up paying a bit more than 35k with the buyers premium (I bid him up to 33,750 then realised it getting beyond what its worth). I hadn’t seen this listing at that point but glad to say I’d spotted most of the issues it has. It’ll be fantastic when finished but there is a few 000s needing put in to it.
I had a suspicion the winning bidder may have buyers remorse, so, I’m still waiting to see what happens.

The Cougar most buyers want to find is a relatively rust free unmolested car with good options and a decent color. This be checks all the boxes. So these cars can be the most expensive for some buyers. If you buy for a driver and keep it the way you found it it’s a good deal. If you want to take it to the next level you are going to replace a bunch of pretty good parts with better ones. Starting with a rougher car can be less money if you can do the work yourself

Well said Bill. A desirable, unmolested, rust-free car can be one of the most expensive options unless you are just going to drive and enjoy it. The car is so nice, and so original, you have to pay up to get it. But for perfectionists like me, you don’t want to put anything but really nice original or NOS parts back on it. I do most of the work myself, but before long you have way more in the car than it’s worth. Oh well, I guess many of us can say the same thing about our cars regardless of where they started.
what other GT cougars has this been compared to? rebuilt engine, trans, looks rust free, blk on blk, I think its right on the money. The days of finding a big block cheap are over.
