Now that is a good question.
A friend of mine had a '69 XR-7 in high school, and we used to roll that baby EVERYWHERE! I LOVED that car. It was an XR-7, Dark Metallic green, black vinyl top, black LEATHER interior, factory a/c, pozzi, 351-4v w/ cam, carb and headers, and factory sunroof that car was loaded! Too bad he got a flat tire on the freeway one night - left the car, and a towing company towed it away. They didnt get in touch with him for a few days, and told him the had the car - he put off getting it from the yard and when he finally went to get it, the impound cost $800.00!!! ( original tow plus many weeks of storage) He just said forget it - and never went back for it. I loved that car!!
Shortly after the whole impound thing I got my 1st '68! I like the 68 cougar the best of all cougars. The 67's are nice, but the '68 to me looks more complete. To me, the 67's didnt look finished - no side markers etc....And you could get a sunroof in '68!!! (if you can find one)
In 1995, about 3 years after i got my first '68 i wrecked it making an illegal left turn - pretty much totalled it - ended up getting 1800.00 for it wrecked - not bad - but i would rather have the car rather than the money.
SO...We fast forward to 2000.........After the death of my first '68 in 1995 - i started milling around town looking for a replacement '68. i really wanted a sunroof car, so i was very patient and after about 6 - 8 months looking i finally got my xr7-g WITH A SUNROOF!!! YAY!!!!
wow..i seriously rambled.......
there is a very cool story of how i got the "G" car too - but that is for another day.... =)
