So I finally found me a new project, a 67 Cougar Dan Gurney Special. The owner had this stored in a barn for years and the car is complete with all the parts in a dry indoor storage locker. The parts are in excellent shape which is the reason I picked it up. Headlight assemblies and grills are mint, wiring harness shows no cuts into it that I could see, dash pad is great, etc, etc. The body of the car has not a spot of rust and had new floors, torque boxes, and cowls as well as subframe connects welded in.

Here's a couple of pics of when we pulled it out of its old home.

Looks like a nice foundation to work with. What are your plans for it?

I'm thinking something similar to my last one like in my avatar. Might start with a Fatman front IFS as the suspension and steering is the weak link to these cars.

Call me crazy, but I have a weird appreciation for it's current appearance. :evil:

Yes I do as well. I have a thing for the old school 5 hole mags I think. Could be the 10" steering wheel!

Could it be the altitude? Gotta be careful on corners when you are that high......
