Wow, wish I had the money, would make a good mate to the GT.

It's a little over budget, particularly when you add in shipping.
But I might be interested in getting eyes and ears on it, and some pictures if your willing.

I don't think 5K is bad at all, for a factory 4 speed cougar, especially if it is the typical western rust free shell. But if you are a serious buyer, I can make some time..

 

[gt390xr7]

Didn't say it was a bad price, said it was a little over my budget. As for being "a serious buyer", that depends on what you tell me. lol
If you're still game, thank you.

 

[woodsnake]

I sent the guy an email, we'll see what happens....

 

[woodsnake]

I checked out the car, it doesn't have a perfect body, but is still in really good shape. I'll have some pictures up in the morning...

 

[woodsnake]

My impressions? Car is a solid start, but has some rust around the usual places in the rear quarters. It took a hit on the nose at some time in its life, the head light doors and front bumper don't fit quite right.

 

[woodsnake]

And some more..

 

[woodsnake]

And, a few more..

 

[woodsnake]

And some shots of the front end..

I've never seen a factory four speed cougar before, and if there was any way I could swing this car, I would be all over it..

Trade your Stang! You need another Cougar! hehehehe :evil: Those fenders you got rid of would come in handy now.:zap: Couldn't resist. Isn't this always the way it goes?

 

[woodsnake]

Ah, but Lloyd, I kept the rear quarters that I need for my 67....HA!
The story is that the owner just died, and his widow has to pay the bills. They had no insurance....

 

[mopardon]

A engine code or C engine code ?

 

[lbesq]

Looking at the picture of the Door tag, it looks to be a C code. At least that is what it looks like to me.

You've seen it, you sound like you like it. So I have to ask, what would you pay for it?

 

[CougarCJ]

Sure looks like a keeper to me.

7F93C574573
65B M 6U 14C 54 D 5

1 of 495 - 289-2V 4 speeds in an XR7
3.25 equaloc rear end, console, tilt, disc brakes.

 

[sportyworty]

interesting rear ratio not sure I remember seeing an 8 inch 3.25. Proof of a 9 inch small block in 67??

 

[Bad69cat]

Brian - looks pretty decent for the $......maybe the mustang will sell and you can pick up this cat ;>) lol yeah, it's like going to a shelter - you can't save 'em all!! But it's only one more...........

 

[woodsnake]

Well, they are pretty firm on the price, at 5K. If I had the money, I would give the 5K. Sure it needs interior work, but the engine seems solid. I didn't go under the car, but probably could go back and do so, with a pair of ramps or something. The black paint hides a lot of sins around the rear wheel wells, and they will need some work.
But it is a daily driver quality car as it sits. It's in a LOT better shape than my 67 XR7, but mine is that 1 of 2 color combination car, so I am going to keep it. My girl friend said she would help me buy it, if I got rid of one of my other cars! For me, the advantage of this one is the 4 speed, and it should probably be kept close to stock. My 68 and 69 will both soon have a stick shift, so that is where I will get my gear changing fun from!

I can probably go get more pictures of anything in particular, if anybody wants some.
