Bashton thanks for the invite by my old war horse is far from display material. If you would like 1 of the 50 Lightweight 68.5 cars at the show I can help out possibly. Sounds like a great event.

I would love to have one of these in the show. If you can help us out, we would certainly appreciate it and I am sure there are a lot of folks that would love to see one up close and personal.

For Mercury, you need a 428CJ Cougar Eliminator (1st year Eliminator pkg) or Cyclone Spoiler. A Spoiler II (ala Talladega) would complement your Daytona in the aero wars display, but I think they were all 351/FMX auto cars, which is kind of a letdown given the swoopy body. As for Boss 429 Cougars, I believe only one is found (in pieces) and its been "awaiting restoration" for over a decade.
Good luck https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

On the contrary. The Shartman car is found and the other car is believed in pieces. And these 2 cars not only would qualify for most significant in 69 from Mercury, but easily could qualify for most significant for 69.

I just read the posts on the Cougar site; what an awesome story and there is even some LaHarpe history in there!

Sooo...anyone out there have a CJ Cougar?

my choice

Re: Significant 1969 Muscle Cars
 

Looks like we have another winner lined up...think Hurst/Olds!

We still need some AMC, Buick and Mercury representation.

Although we are set with a Pontiac for this part of the show, (the 69 T/A Convertible), we would LOVE to have you join us with your Grand Prix. It certainly is a rare piece and I am sure there are lots of people that would love to see it. I know I would!

I was thinking of my buddy's car in Michigan, he's got a gorgeous '69 GP SJ 428HO 4-speed. It would certainly fit in.

We would love to have it in the show. Can you "open the door" and see if he may be interested in joining us? It certainly is a rare car worth sharing with us. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Thanks Grant;

A pair of 4-speed Grand Prix's side by side would be cool...maybe the 69 and your 71? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

D'oh! Of course Carousel Red for '69. It's just SO orange. But not Orbit Orange, of course. That's more of a yellow, right? (This inability to name colors properly, and the decision to start naming their cars with letters and numbers instead of proper names surely has something to do with their downfall.)

Bashton-no I don't have a Boss Nine. I have a friend with four (!) of them. There's a guy down south with nine. But there's lots of nice ones in the midwest as well. Go to the Boss 429 section of the Boss 302 Forum (www.boss302.com) and post a request for Boss 429 representation and you should find someone willing to share something nice. Good luck!

Yep, Orbit Orange is a lot lighter than Carousel Red. IIRC, Carousel Red is the same as Hugger Orange...
