Nice looking car. Where are you located at?
I'm going to say somewhere in Ohio based on the tag on the F-150.
Welcome aboard! That is a very nice looking Cougar. I hope your son takes good care of it.
Were the door handles and locks shaved or are they black? Hard to tell from the pictures.
Hmm.. I swear I've seen this car before.. Being in Ohio would explain that.
:burnout: "Wow" nice ride for a first car for the son and welcome to the board. lol :cougarsmily: :cougarsmily:
I'm in medina ohio i bought the car from wellington, ohio it was a girls car. if i can find the title it might be from lancaster, yes the door handles are shaved and all the locks.
the girl was from wakeman and before that the previous owner was from grafton ohio
Sweet car.
i dont know anything about the motor, what was done to it, it runs great might be to much car for my son i might have to keep it for myself. if i gas it to much at a light it will spin the tires. this winter my son and i are going to change heads, cam intake, tbi
heres a couple more pics.

Nah, it probably isn't too much for your son but that depends on his level of responsibility.
I've had my car for 6 years now. I bought it when I was 16.
Your such a nice daddy.Hope your son respects it.
Nice ride! Good luck with it!
Very nice cougar man, your son should be proud.
Is that inbuilt moonroof an aftermarket piece?
Nice Cougar, man! I love it!
it looks to be after market it opens fine but when i push the button to close it makes a grinding noise. so i push it closed by hand.
I guess I'm wrong about seeing it.. maybe its on coolcats from the previous owner. You are close to youngstown! Looks like you will be at Cat Jam next year.
yeah i'll be there my son is already bugging me to take him next year.
i ordered him some chrome valve covers, cap & rotor and some good plug wires. over the winter we will do alot to it my cousin owns a auto shop i buy the parts and he puts them on for free. my son is talking about a stroker motor and maybe a blower i told him i am not paying for that he can if he wants to.,,lol
the airhat that came with the car had 2 snorkels, and the valve covers that are on the car now
i have no use for once the chrome ones come in if anybody can use them you can have them let me know.
Welcome to the site.
Welcome.Cool car.He'll enjoy it.Good looking engine as well.I have an identical set of wheels in the garage that came with my Sport when I bought it.I need to give them a new home.
NICE!! Lucky son you have! Your like my dad, but I get my dads old 66 stang.
Hope he takes care of it, it looks like its in really good shape
Looks like a good Fox to start in... Welcome aboard!

Very nice Cat !!!..................and welcome to the board.

Welcome to the boards.
You brought chips and dip, right?
Maybe the scoop reminds you of "Black Magic"?

Can you get some close-up shots of the moonroof? Where is the switch located? Is there an overhead console with map lights?
I tried to take pics. of the moonroof and switch but its to dark even with the flash its hard to see.
