    My dad had a ‘67 Cougar when I was 15. It was like a lava red, with a black vinyl top. It was such a beautiful car, and was an absolute beast. He was going to give it to me as a gift after I turned 16 and got my license, but before that could happen we fell on hard times and were forced to sell it, which became a whole crazy adventure in itself. If I had the money, I’d totally buy this one. 👍

    Nick, Your chassis camera roll by is one of the best features you added to drives. And it shows the Cougar is super clean and not beat up or patched. It's worth the ticket price. Nice.

    The underneath of that cougar has some super super clean metal. Nice car 👍

    Saw one of these almost every day as a kid in my uncles neighborhood growing up, just parked in a yard with a cover thrown on it, my cousin and I have been obsessed with American muscle since we were kids, it either just gets you or not 👊🏽

    This is a nice muscle car. I always loved the design of the 60s Cougars over the Mustangs. A more sophisticated design especially with the front grill and tail lights. Cool!

  • @JeromyBranch
    @JeromyBranch Před 3 lety +3

    Feeling the pavement in the seat of your pants is a GOOD thing Nick. It's what these Cougars and the Mustang is all about.

    Friend in high school's dad had a 68 GT-E with a 427. Darn fast car. When he was allowed to use it we'd have fun stomping on Mustangs and Camaros.

    Too bad it’s missing the center console. Those are big money to find.

    • @larryhendricks3896
      @larryhendricks3896 Před 3 lety

      May not be missing at all. I have a 68 XR7 that did not come with the console. I've been looking for one.

  • @SeanCarterCFH
    @SeanCarterCFH Před 2 lety +1

    Literally exactly what I'm looking for, color optional because I'm not set on any one particular. Great final price to me, wonder how much that customer ended up paying monthly 🤔 I'm sure it's worth it regardless 💯 Amazing work, definitely subbed!

    One tail light out on passenger side. Turn singles work in back? Headlights popup when turned on? Does it have an antenna? Center conoles missing.

    • @HornhelmClan
      @HornhelmClan Před 3 lety +2

      Well said. Expensive and futzy, especially the vacuum system. Been there, done that. And no console.

    Its very clean, the price is right on, these 40 and 50 year old cars will always need some going over. Replace old bushings, shocks and stuff, the bottom of the car looks clean. A good car to make into a bad ass car 👍
