Hey, guys, I new here. Normally a Mustang guy. However, I have had a few Cats and always liked them. Here is my question:
I have been offered a 68 Cougar. XR-7, Red, red interior, white top. Runs, but needs valve seals (bad), and restoration. Guy says it is one of the Cale Yarborough specials, or something like that. Body is just pretty decent, with the exception of the roof area near the back window, under the vinyl roof. Needs some POR-15 attention really badly.
How can I check this car out for authenticity? Original motor by the way, with original 4V-carb. Auto, PS, air, console car. Car has no distinctive badges inside or out to identify it as anything special by the way.
Would appreciate some info.
Thanks,
OkieHog
