I had a hard time getting a good picture of the Mirror with out a nasty reflection of me in the Chrome.

But I got it fairly well any way.
Thanks for taking the great pictures Neal. I used many of the ones you took, and only a couple that I took.
A little reflection is a good thing.
It seems the link for the pictures isn’t working. I get a page not found on photobuckets site.

I just tried the link and it worked for me.
Great pictures!! and beautiful car!!
Maybe it’s just me. I’m using my iPhone and I still can’t view it at the link that’s posted. Maybe it works from a computer and not a mobile device.

This is what I see.
The original URL does not have “beta” in it. Try to edit that out to get to the site. Or try the long link

Enjoy.
That did it. Those are some great pictures. I hope the sale goes well its a great car with a cool story.

This should not take long to sell. If I were in the position to shell out the cash, It would be mine. Im surprised that being a California car, It has no AC.
When I click on the link in your quote, it brings up the pictures no problem on my iPhone.
Love the pics, thanks for taking and posting them.
You can really see the “super puff” in the door panels.
Great reference 
Not all the pictures are ones I took, but I had fun taking pictures for Scott and learned a bunch about using my new DSLR. Nikon is still the best. Or at least IMHO. I have a old F2 and now a D5100.
This car is now listed on E-Bay at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221134758551

I wounder if they stopped driving it due to the poor color match? Typical of a repair job from that time frame. You could have the front clip repainted and the color tinted to match the original and blended into the doors so it matched. But, then again you might be further ahead just to paint the whole car.
The second owner was a car collector and didn’t drive any of his collector cars much. When he died in 95 he had several Cougars and a whole bunch of NOS parts. Some very low mileage 50s and 60s Ford and GM products, including a late 70s or early 80s Camaro with only a couple hundred miles on it, some older (pre 50) cars and hot rods. He had a few secure storage areas on his property and they were full of cars and parts.
By the way one of the things I found in this G was a NOS XR-7 trunk lock housing wrapped in tissue paper. Not just the spring loaded lid you can buy today, but the whole housing with a Ford tag on it. I don’t know what his plans were for this G, I guess we’ll never know, but it sure is an interesting car.
I would keep it myself, but I already have a few Cougars and this car should be enjoyed by another enthusiast.
