Hey guys!! I just picked up a 68-1/2 428 CJ Cougar and when I got the Marti Sheet on the car it was listed as a Cougar '500'!
I bought the car strictly on the merits of it being an R-code car and to be quite honest had never heard of the '500' model before.
I have since looked into the Cougar '500' and found some information out there that it was a promotional model in the VA/GA region and I believe it was to promote NASCAR 500 mile races???
I was aware of a Cyclone '500' but the Cougar version was a new one on me and I have owned a whole bunch of CJ Cougars over the years.
Can any of you further enlighten me as to the origins of the Cougar '500' and what all the package included??
Thanks, 69Shelby :sun:
