Chris, this is one fucking HELL of an amazing Cougar! I can't express enough to you how important your car is. I'm sure you already know. Through high school, college and beyond, I owned and drove regularly my previous 1970 Mustang Fastback that also came with a 302 2V. I did the same and upgraded to a 4V carb and intake, plus a set of headers because easy breathing is great for engines. But my favorite thing about this is that you didn't go overboard with any flashy speed parts or try to make it a race car. So many smaller engine cars ended up being modified to some degree in the pursuit of speed, because what the hell, it's just a small block 2V car. But these cars are what the everyday person drove. They sold them to someone else who enjoyed and drove the piss out of them, too. You made yours suit your needs, without going crazy, all while leaving the car in pristine and basically stock appearing condition. That's REAL preservation, in my opinion. Not restoring to exact originality, but more keeping with the simple upgrades that made these cars user friendly and reliable. I'll say it again... Fucking awesome car, Sir!

Thanks for the kind words, it is a special car to me and holds many great memories. I am very thankful I did not sell it over the years. Every time I take it for a spin, memories come flooding back of the hours spent cruising main street on Friday nights while in high school and hijinks from the college years. Each old car has a unique smell to the interior, not in a bad way, and mine still smells the same as it did when I got it 42 years ago, just sitting in it will trigger fond memories of my younger days. I still have the original 2V intake and carb, the factory air cleaner and the original sequential unit.

Nice Cat! I've owned a '68 XR-7 since 2010, 78,000 miles on the odometer, never rusted or wrecked. Diamond Blue with the same interior/top as you have, power front discs, factory A/C. Rather than rebuilding the 302 2V heads, I replaced them with Edelbrock E-street aluminum ones. Edelbrock AVS2 500 cfm carb. We drove most of this year's Hot Rod Power Tour in it, and will do the whole thing next June.

It says 302 4v on the air cleaner but on the Marty report it says 302 2v? Any idea why?

@Ziggy65 10 ай бұрын

When I had the engine rebuilt, I had a 4 barrel intake from a 68 Mustang installed as well as a new 4 barrel Holley carb. I still have the original 2 barrel intake and carb.

@@Ziggy65 I just found out today that the “4v” on the air cleaner stands for 4 barrel carb I thought the 4v stood for 4valve but I was wrong 😑

@Ziggy65 Жыл бұрын

Firebirds, Camaros and Mustangs are great cars, but the Cougar styling stands out to me. I also like that you rarely see a Cougar, especially an XR7 at cars shows or on the road. I get a lot of looks and comments like "what is that" when cruising. No need to replace the stock rad, never has had an over heating problem. Aluminum rads have their place, but not on a mostly original 60's or 70's vehicle IMHO.

Thanks. No plans to sell it. I think I would instantly regret selling it after 40 years of ownership. The only car that I would consider replacing it with would be a nice original 67/68 Cougar XR7 GT with the 390 and a 4 speed. But they are very rare and big $ these days.

Congrats and thank you for showing this car so much love to keep this in such condition. In 2004 I bought a 1967 XR7 in California from the estate of the original owner. He had put 248,000 miles on the car and it looked almost new. I regret selling it in 2010, it was a gorgeous dark green, no vinyl top and a saddle 2-tone leather interior. The car went to an enthusiast in Michigan. Itwas completely restored and mechanically perfect. I miss it.

Thanks.
