Hey there guys. I recently sold my '97 Ranger Flareside because it just wasn't right for me anymore. Sure, it was practical, but who wants practical?
Anyway, I exiled myself from the Ranger forums (rangerpowersports.com) and started hunting for a new stomping ground. You guys use vBulletin just like RPS so I think I have found a new home.
Anyway, about my new project.
I just recently (yesterday) sealed the deal on a '69 XR7 with the 351 4 barrel V8 and 3spd auto tranny. This thing is in incredibly good shape since it was owned by an elderly woman who put a mere 51k miles (!!) on this thing the entire time she owned it. And she has owned it since June of '69. It is a cream color with a new black vinyl top, with white leather interior and even that is really really clean. I am having the water pump swapped out as we speak because it was leaking under pressure. But as of later today, I will be cruising in this thing and I can't wait.
Unfortunately, this car will be my daily driver. I am just wondering if you guys have any advice/tips for a guy just starting in the world of Cougars, like maybe anything you guys would have found helpful when you first started. Thanks for any input and I know I'll be seeing you all around very soon
