442w30,
Yes, I know what you mean. Actually, I briefly owned a 68 cougar 302 several years ago, and it was nice. Especially the taillight blinkers scheme.
The Yenko's, CoPo's, heck even the Mach's are into the stratosphere price wise now. There was another 428 Cougar on Ebay that ended last night at around 4K, but the reserve was not met. It had a buy it now at just under 12k. Again, what a deal compared to mach's, etc.
I definately plan on getting the Marti report, and Frank at the Cougar registry knows the car, so that was my biggest concern, that it was real. People are faking everything these days! Not that I have a problem with "clones" or tribute cars as some call them, just if someone spends that kind of cash, they expect an investment car. My cousin has a 69 "yenko" clone with a 454 out of a wrecked 70 Chevelle SS. He was asking about the vette 427 (which I just found out is out of a 66 not a 67 vette) to put in his car. My question to him was why? The 454 runs great, problem free. It is a clone anyway, and a driver, not a show car. I would probably leave the 454 in there if I was him. Oh well, enough rambling, back to work.
One question though, anyone know of a forum like this for the Cougars? Info seems scarce.
Not that I would leave here, 69 Camaros are my first love. In fact, like most of you, my wife is jealous
of my Hugger Orange 69!
