Always like the cougars .

[@Jones22KJ]

That 427 sat in my basement forever while dad put it together as Robin built the car. Hearing that beast fire up on the engine stand was a special day and seeing the car completely finished and ready to go across the block is really cool!

[@stupidcriminaltv]

Thank you so much for sharing this additional piece of automotive history on this very cool car. It was a sincere pleasure meeting you and filming this video. Cheers!

[@musclecarswitheric]

That's really cool. Yes, I believe so as well. Thanks for watching and sharing your comments.

That's a special cougar. most that roll through are just over priced cars widely available. 66 restored eldorado sold for 115kk someone got bent over lube free.. I was going to bid on it.. extremely happy I didn't.. found one with 18k original 1 owner miles in concourse original condition including tires. Drove 500 miles to bring it home..

[@musclecarswitheric]

Thanks for watching and your cool story. Congratulations on saving big $$$

[@GTP427cobra]

That's a beautiful car I have only seen two of them one red and one dark green

[@musclecarswitheric]

There was a dark green one at the auction but it slipped away before I could film it.

[@eversafe1963]

A tad bit off on his numbers, they made 357 of these with the 427 and and an additional 37 with the 428 Cobra Jet, with a total of 394 units overall.

[@musclecarswitheric]

thanks for your comments.

[@1chuck96]

An Excellent Car of which I wouldn't drive for one second, rather put it in a climate controlled environment, and watch it's value go up as in the stock market...SWEET!!!

[@thomasdaum1927]

Owned one back in the day , ( early 70s ) maroon with silver bottom trim ! Installed headers , 750 dbbl pumper and a Super Cobra Jet cam . Boy would it go !

[@musclecarswitheric]

Way cool man! I'll bet it ripped down the road. What ever happened to it?

[@thomasdaum1927]

@@musclecarswitheric I traded it for a 69 Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet , ruffley around 1973 or 74 . Back then these muscle cars weren’t worth much because of the gas shortage ( crisis ) of 1973 where you had to wait in line sometimes up to an hour or more to buy a few gallons of gas !

[@musclecarswitheric]

@@thomasdaum1927 I remember those days. I got my license in 1974 and got my family's station wagon as a hand-me-down. It was a Buick. Thanks for watching and your comments.

[@nicolamiddleton6804]

My dad owns a 1968 ford Cougar GT e V8 engine, I believe these are few and far between

[@davidmckay9965]

That's a beautiful Cat - when I heard the door open, it brought back sweet memories of my '67 Cougar. Thanks for the research

[@musclecarswitheric]
