What a pleasant surprise to see this channel return! Welcome back. I like the new idea of showing what a close competitor would have been in the day. I was 16 years old and making $1.30 an hour pumping gas, washing windshields, and checking oil at a gas station in Chardon Ohio when those cars were new. Needless to say, they weren’t in my budget. With a 428 CJ, 4-speed, and 4.30 gear the Cougar would have been nearly unbeatable on the street. And with no exterior graphics whoever drove it would have shocked many an opponent.

Same, first job for me, well second I lasted two days at a deli cleaning casserole pans LO.

[@ianfosbrook8406]

FINALLLY...😍😍😍 oh man ive missed these

[@bongodave13]

I missed you, Kevin! Great to see you back with yet another beauty from the golden era.

[@charlesdalton985]

Great to see you back! At my age finding a cougar is almost impossible, but finding a Cougar - I’ll take one like this. Thank you as always ~ Chuck

[@hillbillyscholar8126]

Good to see these again!😃

[@mlp-hot-rod5824]

Y'all have been greatly missed

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Thanks so much! Kind words!

[@mlp-hot-rod5824]

@@MuscleCarOfTheWeek I speak but the truth. Can't wait to see more of what else the Brothers have aquired while the world went mad.

[@jerrygoad3033]

Glad to see your back, love the cougars!

[@jimcharles9705]

SO GLAD TO SEE KEVIN BACK!! I thought the MCotW series was dead. It's really THE best collection of concise, educational car videos on KZbin.

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Very kind words, thanks Jim!

[@paladin0654]

I bought a '69 428 Torino CJ with the drag pack. Difference for my car was that the rear end was a 350, more like a NACAR number. When I took it to Germany, I was the king of the Autobahn.

[@2264ish]

Was it red? As a Canadian army brat I remember seeing a red one in Germany back then.

[@paladin0654]

@@2264ish The "official" color was Champagne Gold.....it was there '70-71....then I was transferred to Vietnam. BTW, I was stationed in Bamberg.

[@mikethatguy27]

My goodness what a beautiful car.🙌💯💨

[@ROCKETRICKYH]

My dear late older brother and I went home from university on weekends in his 1969 Cougar XR7 in the mid 1980s. Wasn't a 428, but wonderful nonetheless. Kevin, thank you for these memories.

[@Troy_nov1965]

WOW ....new video......sweet! First gen Cougars are one of my favorites!

[@LS1007]

Great to see the return of MCOTW. That Cougar is purrrfect! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[@mikescaffo4850]

Beautiful car absolutely beautiful

[@rogerholloway8498]

Yes! You are back! Welcome home! Stick around, we love your presentations!

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Thank you kindly!

[@briankay4713]

Good to have you back Kevin !!!

[@shawnmiller7809]

Happy to see you back!!! Small world, I just bought a Camaro from Tim, who works for the brothers collection!!!

[@TRACYxBEAKER]

Just wow!! Perfect!!!!

[@rdouglas4601]

Back and better than ever! Awesome Kevin! Glad to see you back with great cars

[@jeffschwartz5199]

I also really like the car . Had a 67 as my first car with a 390 . This car is really rare , blue flame rare.

[@TommyT6219]

Welcome back!!! Great video and an awesome Cougar! Looking forward to more videos!

[@kingerikthegreatest.ofall.7860]

Cougars are my all time favorite cars. I had a 68 xr7 .

[@ianfosbrook8406]

pinnacle year if you ask me...

[@wramsey2656]

Cool! My mother had one very similar to this and it was a cool V8 car! I got a kick as a kid with the retractable head lights.

[@xtc1957]

Thanks, Kevin! What a beautiful Cougar. I always felt this brand and model deserved more attention that it received, as well as the Cyclone. For me, the real sell here for me is the that raised trim line that runs down the side... added an element of class to these cars.

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Right on!

[@NewfieFedora2]

Love the Cougar

[@ronyeahright9536]

I love these videos, and Kevin glad to see you again.

[@Funsho97]

Welcome back!!!! For me, I would choose the Cat over the Bird, it just looks way cooler with the hideaway headlights and that taillight, and the sort of subtle sleeper look but performance from that 428 Super Cobra Jet to get the job done. Yeah, no sugar mama for me, give me a Cougar!!!

[@mareksamel5334]

Good to see you back Kevin !

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Thanks Marek!

[@VQSeries]

Nice to see you guys back on the Tube!

[@Carguy2000-f8p]

I’m so glad to see you guys back!

[@joequillun7790]

You guys continually outdo yourselves. Altho I'm a Pontiac loyalist, this car is a charmer. Has "everything" I would order. Perfect. Thanks for posting.

[@louiskats5116]

Goodday Kevin, OMG it is so so good to see you again. I really thought maybe the virus got you & I really missed you & your video's, God Bless you are alive & well. Mate missed you & your video's would be a understatement. Love the Cougar, Love the Poncho you shouldn't ask us to choice they are both awesome Pony Muscle Cars. You are looking well too, you have lost abit of weight. Take care Buddy, good to see you again. Your number 1 Fan in Australia Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤

[@michaelbaumgardner2530]

Been a spell,good to have you back and with a mack daddy cougar.

[@MikeBMW]

Awesome, Kevin! Great car! I had a '68 Cougar and I gotta say I did like that body style better but time marches on. Again, Kevin, thanks, love the content!

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Thanks Mike! Appreciate the kind words!

[@danbaumann8273]

Back with a banger. Hope to see more.

[@e84harrison77]

Thanks for doing this. Love the channel.

[@billyfoster3223]

Basically, it's a luxury sleeper!😀

[@ragingbull94mtx]

Love the car, glad to have you back!

[@Kyfordman1989]

A friend of mine got a 70 cougar eliminator with a 428 super Cooper jet. Factory drag pack Acapulco blue with blue high backseats know what is 19,000 original miles it’s still has the 1970 spark plug wires it is 100% original

[@tomoday4450]

Fantastic your back 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@4.9copblank49]

beautiful

[@spiderbrandt4066]

Awesome I had a 1968 XR7 I'd kill for this one , and I'm in Australia

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Great car!

[@dudehere340]

Hell yeah! Glad to have you back! Been missing these videos 🥂😎

[@awesomecowboyfan8151]

Cool awesome car I’ve been looking for 69 cougar because my mother owned one

[@lesliewilensky3170]

Great car, but with 437 rear end gears it would be hard to just cruise on down the road. I had a ‘69 Plymouth GTX with the base 440, 375 hp and a 323 rear end. What fun!!!!! Luckily gas was pretty cheap back in the day.

[@hiitsstillme]

Kevin!!!!!!!!!! Great to see you, Bud!!!!!

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Great to be seen!

[@413x398]

Welcome back, Kevin! I have one of those dime-a-dozen '69 R-code XR7's myself. Meow, Chauncey.

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Awesome!

[@XAPAN88]

Again, dude-haven’t seen You for a long time…welcome back😉🤟🏿

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Thanks!

[@carpartsink4577]

Awesome you are back!

[@garygallite8325]

Way back when in the 60s they used to bring the actual cougar ( animal ) to the dealerships . He was in warren ohio for a bit & you could pet him ! Would walk around showroom floor !

[@stephenholland5930]

Was the chick in the go-go boots with him? 😂

[@RaceCar21]

Please tell me you're going to start uploading regularly again. I used to look forward to the Friday night uploads.

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

We're going to do all we can. We really appreciate all the support! Thanks!

[@thefettfan3994]

At long last, a very big "Welcome Back Guys!!!!". My personal choice would be the "Cat" over the "Bird" any day. Your featured '69 428 Cougar looks and sounds "Killer" indeed. Great new video guys!!!!!!!

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Thank you!!

[@ChrisStockslager]

You’re back!! What took you so long? Lol Also, yay, first comment. 😎

[@RaceCar21]

@Ian Fosbrook clipped you by a minute. 🥈

[@frankszymkowski7780]

Beautiful. Love the factory am/8 track radio. Great comparison too, kevin. Never really realized how close in proportions the TA and the cougar were.. love the comparisons .. its a new twist to the MCOTW series you should go eith

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Thanks Frank! This was a fun one!

[@TACADD]

Welcome back!!!

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Thanks!!

[@deeadams2007]

Great video!! I just bought the same exact car well kinda... mines the same color basic model 351 W automatic. Love it! These cars are extremely underappreciated.

[@ronniefarnsworth6465]

Never as fast as their brother Mustangs moving an extra 200 lbs but much better looking !! 👍

[@jimmybanta4520]

Fire 🔥 bird all day for sure but I love this cougar

[@Slimjim260]

Nicely done Keven, love the cat!

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@a.k.a.A.E.1]

a real dream cat !

[@gregbetts8057]

cougs war my favs over the stangs

[@peekaboo1575]

I thought for sure that MCOTW had gone the way of the Dodo. Nice to be proven wrong. Welcome back, lads.

[@Duececoupe]

Look who's f🤬cking back!? 😳😲 Hell yeah....welcome back gang! 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@Duececoupe]

In '69....I'd buy the Dodge Charger! 😎

[@luisponce5047]

Kevin I'm glad to see you are back with the muscle car of the week. Exelent show 😁👍👍👍

[@MrBinnie824]

You can't see it but I'm shedding manly tears watching this vid. HHopenew vids become a weekly occurwnce once again.

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

We're all teary just reading that. Thanks man, digital man hugs your way!

[@grimreaper7879]

Nice Vehicle 👍

[@brianmessing1152]

So are you back is this just a tease ??? Hopefully you haven't ran out of car's we love Muscle car of the week keep bringing them. Do the Brothers have any Dusters that we're cool?

[@michaelconway6720]

Welcome Back!!

[@Johnnycdrums]

The cougar didn't seem nervous of the cougar.

[@livewire2759]

I was hoping this series would return. If you're still featuring cars from the Brother's collection, I'd really like to see the Goodwood Green '67 L88 they have... the one known as the "Doc. Miller car"...

[@travisgarland49]

Its about time

[@scootosan]

That Cat is to Ford/Mercury as Riviera is to Buick....the easily influenced look the other way. I enjoy the weird and strange optioned cars no matter what assemble line it came from.....

[@rono3045]

The front end of those cougars is the car you didn't want to see coming up on your rear view mirror when you're at a stoplight and then get next to you you know you were going to have a challenge when the light turned green to beat it.

[@jeffschwartz5199]

Roasting the big snake 🐍 🤣 . You might watch where you say that 🤦. Lol . 😆 . 👍

[@MrAllSunnyDaze]

Kevin’s voice is exactly like Nick Offerman’s

[@stacyhazelwood4033]

I would take the Merc over the Bird. Great video. I miss MCOTW, please bring it back.

[@landonchevalier7853]

Can you find a 1970 Dodge Charger 426 Hemi 4 speed to show on the channel

[@jeffschwartz5199]

I'm #428 on your like board . Imagine that 🤔

[@traviscutler9912]

Hey hey!!!! I'm literally looking at buying a 1969 mercury cougar 351 Cleveland automatic (already basic research has told me that it should be a Windsor not a Cleveland along with a few other things that are a little disconcerning!?!?) Anyways, it's a friend of mine's vehicle who's sick and very old so I super don't want to grind them as I don't honestly think he knows as he's not really a car guy but at the same time I'm not exactly independently wealthy so anytime advice would be super helpful as I would really like to help my friend out and I also love these vehicles.. Thanks!!!!!!

[@patrickmcgrath5411]

"MEOW"‼️

[@jimmydigital]

no need for a car - the lord guides you everywhere you need to go ... great to see another upload though.

[@MisterMikeTexas]

This big kitty gives me what Ted Nugent has: Cat Scratch Fever! 😊

[@kentyler966]

There was also a Eliminator model. Not sure where it fits into the Cougar line.

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

Those are cool, too - kzbin.info/www/bejne/roTXnIuarM51hNk

[@radioguy1620]

interesting view of the oil cooler setup at 2.20

[@MuscleCarOfTheWeek]

The SCJ cooler is an interesting part.

[@aaronshkolny6824]
