Just picked up my '68 last weekend. I went the opposite direction most people go and sold a newer car (2013 Mustang GT) to buy older. Always wanted a classic Cougar and when the opportunity to buy this one came up I had to jump on it. It’s a base 302-4V automatic w/factory air that’s been repainted to the original Dark Aqua color. Power steering, manual drums, fixed column, center console.
Looking forward to working on it, I already have a couple orders in with WCCC! I’m sure I’ll have lots of questions for you guys in the coming months as I get this thing into shape.
Welcome to the forum! We are glad that you chose a cougar. I think that was a smart move to trade up to your cougar. The car looks really nice, it looks like it is a well preserved cat that has been well taken care of over the years. I know that you will enjoy it. Keep us posted on what you’re doing with it.
Thanks! Definitely have lots of plans, stay tuned for a thread in the project forum. After I go over the car I’m thinking power disc conversion, dash/interior work and eventually new wheels/tires. Some day I’d like to get the factory air working too.
Nice cougar neighbor!! Love that color!! Hit me up if you need some help! Probably at Bankers having a beer real soon!! I have all the equipment for ac repair too!
Good to know there’s a fellow cougar owner nearby! I appreciate the offer for help. If you hit any of the local shows I’ll probably see you around, I’ll definitely be at the Perkasie car show this year.
