1967 Mercury Cougar Project Intro

Introducing my 1967 Mercury Cougar GT. The car is a 'S' code GT so it sports a big block 390 cubic inch engine. This particular example was also ordered with a 4 speed manual transmission. The mechanicals have mostly been sorted out and the next couple of videos will be about getting it ready this cruising season.

I got my 67 Cougar back 43 years after I sold it! It's been in a rotisserie for a few years, but I'm hoping to get it back on wheels later this year. I'll be watching the rest of your videos for clues and inspiration. Wish me luck!!!

I have a 67 almost no rust. Getting ready to get it going soon. 289 built with an FMX transmission.

[@ShinyFastLoud]

Awesome, good luck with it.

Thank you!

Ty for sharing your project wit us! May I recommend going to 68 door hinges and installing The Mustang Steve greasable hinge kit. I have a lot of 67-68 Cougar parts! I'm currently building a 67 trans am clone with a 393 stroker. I also have a 68 with the 428cj. (Along with several others) lol.

[@ShinyFastLoud]

I have the hinge kits and we’ll be posting a video soon

Yes fun, I had a ‘67 Inverness Green GT 390 4 speed Top Loader that had Low Riser 427 heads. It ran like the Bullit car for fun. I ran thin 427 head gaskets (11:1 comp) with Original Lemans valve covers. It also had the original American mags. Probably the best of all my cars ever. Now I run a ‘19 Black SS Camaro with 455 hp and 6 speed that is even faster. In between I had a Orange Boss 302 that would rev to 7500, balanced and blueprinted with TRW forged pistons. I typically do all my own work because I’m old school.

Sounds awesome!

[@jakefiedler658]

Wow!! Awesome cougar!!! All the right mods. For sale???

[@ShinyFastLoud]

Thank you, and not for sale

Nice ride! Wondering why you have the plexiglass over the cowl?

[@ShinyFastLoud]

Its a common cover for Mustangs and Cougars to just keep water and debris out of the cowl. It uses spring clips and is easy to remove.

[@stevegreen319]

@@ShinyFastLoud makes sense.thanks!

[@chrismendoza9658]

Nice Cougar. What size are the wheels and tires?

[@ShinyFastLoud]

16x8 wearing 225/50R16

[@kruno49]

Is that Zastava 101 in the background, or maybe Fiat?

[@ShinyFastLoud]

Fiat 128!
