Hello all,<br><br>

Here are some pix of my rather uncommon 1971 Cougar. She is all original and equipped with a 429CJ-R and AC. She is one of 29 hardtops built with the J code engine.<br><br>

If you are in the Midwest, look for me at various car shows or at the Hot Rod Power Tour. Stop by and say "Hi!"<br><br>

Cheers,<br>
Dan<br><br>

Dan,

A Great Cat! A beautiful and rare piece of history. I've seen you on the FoMoCo 429 Pony Board before. Welcome.

Thanks, and a question too...

Hi Tim,

You have a nice ride too -- I checked out your web site. FYI, according to Kevin Marti, my Coug is actually one of 9 made -- the other 20 were GTs. It is one of only two in the registry.

Do you know if anyone reproduces the Ram Air seal for the '69-70 Cats? I know there is none available for the 1971, but it looks like I could use the '69 seal and modify it to include the cutout for the locating tab on the front of the air cleaner lid.

Cheers,
Dan Davis

Ram Air Seal

Check with Perogie, they may have one for you.

I e-mailed them, asking if there was a difference between the 428CJ and the 429CJ seal.

It has 96000. I am sure it will hit 100K next year, sespecially if we do the "Long Haul" on the Hot Rod Power Tour as we have planned now.

As you can tell, I do not believe in keeping cars in garages or on trailers. When I am in town and the weather is nice, I drive it -- to work, out cruisin', to the grocery store, whereever.

BTW. the 351-4V '73 is pretty rare in it's own right. I don't have the book in front of me, but I think less than 2K were made!

Ram Air Seal

Tim,

They are different, at least slightly. The 1971 had a unique service part number, but the only difference I see is that the '71 had a locating tab on the front of the air cleaner (both the base & the lid). You can see it if you look at the pic of my Coug's air cleaner.

Last time I tried Perogie he sent me a Mustang piece that was no where near close. George knows Torinos really well, but I am not so sure of how well he knows the other models.
