Do the last Gen marquis I know ya name is ford's and mustang but ya done the capri

I still see the vision of my neighbors 1969 mercury cougar eliminator in my head, back around 1983. I remember thinking, those got cool lines. Finally found a 69 for myself in 2024.

In 1965, the day after Labor Day, my sister, who was driving, and I were on the way to school when something happened to the 1962 Ford Falcon station wagon we were in. We hit a telephone pole dead center. My sister crushed her nose on the steering wheel and I hit the dash board with my neck and then went into the windshield. There were seat belts I think, but at the time, no one used them. I spent 28 days in Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta because my larynx was damaged and my forehead was almost peeled off. I had a tube in my throat to help me breath and after I was released, I had two surgeries to repair the scars on both my forehead and my throat. I was 14 when this happened. The Falcon, with it's all steel interior, wasn't a very safe car to drive. When I was 17 I bought my first car and it was a 1964 Ford Galaxy XL Convertible. Five years later, I bought a 1968 Torino GT with the 390. I still drive a Ford today. I guess it's just in my blood.

I LOVE IT.

Hey buddy you are awesome! I have learned so much from this channel. Keep it up 💯. I had an 86' a 90 and now a New Edge Mustang all GT models. I so wish I had you for information back in the 90s when I had My 86+ 90. But I can say that I have your brain to pick now. Great Guy, Great Channel I love you guys that makes these channels.

My buddy bought one in 70 after he got a raise at work. Candy apple red. I bought a 71 four door Comet when I re-enlisted. Traded it in 75 for an AMC Pacer. 😮 Courted my wife in the car. 😊 Brought our first born home in it.

always liked the shelby mustangs.

I had lots of early mustangs and cougars. They were all fantastic cars,fun to drive , easy to work on and beautiful to look at. The only issue was rust, and previous owners abusing or altering them. I got so many comments and people asking what it was etc. I restored three cougars and four mustangs plus a lot of work on other people's cars. Good times. Thanks for the video I enjoyed it. Love that green 70' cougar.

I have 2015 mustang and old 1990 mustang lx .

I don't like 4 door mustang mark 4 .

@TonysFordsandMustangs , I would love to see posts on the 1975 and 1980 Lincoln Continental Town Cars. Thank you for your content. The 1977 Cougar post brought me to the channel, and now I am hooked!

in season 6 or 7 there's a 70s Thunderbird or cougar in the first appearance of the negan where glen and abraham was knocked by wired bat it's only one appears in that scene and never found again in other scenes

Yes for it should have continued to update it even maybe a high-performance version more sporty of a grill back end stuff like that for the high performance version that never was

A trim, attractive design

How did it compare to Jeeps?

Love how informative and historical your videos are without being 30 or 45 min long.

I rented a Hertz GT-H in 2007. Those had a WAY better looking hood than the Shelby GT, although I think that was the only difference. I knocked a muffler loose going out of a driveway. That's TOO low. I had to scramble to get it fixed before I returned it. OOPS.

FYI: Actress Estelle Getty from The Golden girls didn't make it big in life until she was in her 60s. When the show became an instant hit she was driving a small little Toyota. In 1987 it was a well-known fact she could have bought whatever she wanted. She chose a two-door Ford Tempo new. There are photographs out there where she was waiting on "set", she was right by her automobile setting in a chair waiting for her next line. She was very thrifty and conservative. Frugal. She was asked about the the Tempo? And she said it fits my needs. At the time in put lots of American needs. It wasn't the top of the line but it was a nice automobile." Ford puts it on wheels!"

I always frowned a little when I’d see somebody add a rear spoiler to one of these

I had a ‘71 comet with the 302-2V that i bought from my future wife’s uncle for $75! I had more fun with this car than my ‘67 442! the car only weighed 2200 lbs if I recall correctly. It held its own against many a muscle car of that era. Every person that saw the car wanted to buy the non-functional hood scoop off it! The rear quarter panels and trunk were completely rusted out but the car was mechanically flawless! Drove the car until it burned up parked outside my parent’s garage when it burned down! The engine ended up in a ‘54 Ford pickup!

Great video. I have a 2007 Shelby GT and a 2007 Shelby GT500 and I love them both for different reasons.

VERY ENJOYABLE VIDEO ! Pretty accurate history. Also the only year for Challenger R/T Convertibles was 1970. Challenger Convertibles were manufactured in both 1970 & 1971, but 70 was the only year for the R/T Convertible.

I live in Australia and have a ford probe with the 24valve they are extremely rare here so happy I have one they are bloody amazing cars

Hmm, guess I need to start looking for these now. Thanks for the tip.

So I’m actually looking at these now! Have been for awhile. Likely swapping out my 06 Mustang GT for one

My wife had two that she bought new. Both were junk.

I first noticed the new Granada in 1982, and while I thought it was a fresh, attractive take on the first generations, I had already discovered the General Motors A Body cars (Chevrolet Celebrity, Pontiac 6000, Buick Century) which were new that year. Compared to those, the new Granada/Cougar was somewhat underwhelming in appearance to me.

The 11/12 just look cheap with the plastic on the bottom

Looking back at it now, I’m liking it more and more but I would still choose a 2007 GT500 and 2008 Bullit over it.

First car on the road at 16 in Vancouver,65 Galaxie 500 2 door 352 Dynasty green Cost $500 at the time ,full insurance for a new driver $87 for the year

You don’t see them very often out in the wild! Thanks for another great video!

Burger Chef Fun Meal 1979 Pace Car. Have the meal, play with the shell, even attach the string to the bumper and pull it around! Oh yes, I’m from Indianapolis. Wish we’d have kept them more than a week! How valuable today?

The Shelby GT was ACTUALLY built by Shelby American. I have the white one, still all stock with 27,000 miles. I bought it new in Feb of 2008. I love it. It always gets noticed when I drive it. IMO, it's the best looking Mustang since the original, especially with the lowered suspension. It's souped up just a little, and that's enough for me, as if I would actually drive it fast anyway. (The Goodrich tires suck, but I put on Firestone Indy 500's and they look and hook up great!)

Power train was Ranger!!

I was still in the car business at that time and I didn't know this car existed. Thanks for the education!

It sounds like it's the right time for Mustang enthusiasts/collectors to get one before the average joe is priced out of the market. You related how the Fox body cars are currently worth more, which reminded me of my Aussie Ford dealer sales guy who said (referring to Aussie cars) that you never know what car will be popular/valuable. Cars, you'd expect to rise in value, don't, whilst those you don't expect to do much do. Same for you in America, too, it seems. Cheers from Christchurch NZ.

I’ve seen very few of these cars in person. The S197 platform still holds a special place for me despite currently owning a s550. They’re still the pinnacle of modern mustangs for me, since they offered these, the boss 302, the GT to Shelby American to be converted to a GT350, the Iacocca edition and of course the 13-14 GT500s (+super snakes) It just simply wasn’t the same after Shelby passed.
