Nice! 68 Torino GT?
No, it’s a 69 GT. It was a 302 car, but it might end up with a 390.

Imho , the top off of your torino and a 67/68 cougar make probably the best looking car the US never made

I was wondering the same thing.
Nice combination! In my mind that would be THE Cougar to own; but I’m glad I don’t. Mine is easier to ignore.
Agree, it works so very well. she is definitely a beauty and so unique. And to top it off, the custom body work and total execution looks top-notch, for example the melding of the 2 very different trunk lids and details to create a proper cougar finished rear end still. much thought and care put in. I love the finished product, would’ve been a cool low-number factory package.

Sister car….
Hi !
Very nice and more down to earth than the predator (with a cost of more than $1 200 000 to build).https://youtu.be/_S8y7MmlMtg?si=ZYE0Gpwl0EFZMb7i

Agree with you and thanks for sharing this one too as i’ve never seen it before. It certainly has a gorgeous interior but i do not like the finished product at all. For starters… rear end does not have the xxx effort put into the other to meld the Cougar’s defining deck lid & other standout details that bring the 2 together. ‘Predator’ over $1M and looks like a messed up Mustang (but again, with a stunning interior). Whereas the other car is a beautiful execution, unmistakable cat vibe and looks as if would’ve been an original factory model Cougar. It’s all subjective of course, but IMO side by side, no comparison in the finished look & presence between the 2 cars in bringing forth a fastback Gen1 Cougar.

A few more exterior and interior tweaks, some under car plumbing, & she’ll be coming home, hopefully in less than a months

and in a photo finish, the MERCURY crosses the line first!
Ok guys, you flunked the test. Refer to my post yesterday. The angle is not optimal, but you can see the correction.
