Hey all, I am 16 and just purchased my 1st car a 1967 Mercury Cougar hardtop. I had planned on a 93 Mustang 5.0 but when i saw the cougar advertised online i couldnt help my self but drag my mom over to orlando (2-3 hours away from my part of FL) to take a look. the next week i was back with 3 grand in cash 1,800 less then the sellers original price. I had it taken to my home VIA flat bed truck because I still have a learners. About a week has gone buy and I love the car more and more each hour. it has some rust but nothing to bad i hope, the 289 2bbl starts up every time and runs strong the interior is good with the exception of a bolt on the bottow of the drivers seat that always falls out, the headliner, dash and the fact that its 36 years old. lol. but none the less i love the car and hope to get her back to the way she was 36 years ago, with the exception of a beastly engine maybe new maybe the 289 with lots of performance parts. anyway the link is still opened to the site that the seller used to advertise the car, I'd love it if you guys could take a look and tell me what in your eyes the 3 grand got me? any and all replies are wanted even if they are negative, i'd like to know as much as i can about what i have ahead of me considering i have never owned a car none the less worked on one or restored one. but enough of my bable here's the link http://mroddball.homestead.com/files/cougar.html
