Here’s a blurb I posted when I joined here:
Hi All -
Just found my way over from the other site. I’m sure many of you remember my car from there. If not, the short version is that we’ve been Cougar nuts from day one. Dad bought Mom a new yellow XR-7 in 1967. My nephew is its proud owner today. I talked Dad into buying the GT-E in 1977. Saw an add in the LA Times for it and had to have it in the fleet. I think we paid $2800 for it, which was pretty good money for a 9-year-old car. My brother had had his CJ G for a year or two and it needed company.
Dad drove the GT-E to work for years. He was a Federal Judge and loved pulling into the lot with his “Merc” that would blow the doors off the other judges’ German “Mercs.”
So many stories of chasing through the hills with the Cougars and the Boss cars, and why we are alive to tell the stories can only be due to angelic intervention.
So here are some pix of the old beast. It has always been a running, driving, registered car. The resto began in '06. We took it to nice driver condition because I wanted it to be a driver, as always. The best part is that we finished it before Dad passed and he got to drive it one last time.
NICE!!!
