What would you give up your Bird/Cat for? Reply #47 – April 28, 2007, 04:33:38 PM '69 GTO Judge - because I owned a similar one (non-Judge) as a teenager:'67 Shelby Cobra GT350 - cause it reminds me of the Mustang I owned after the GTO ......and it has Cougar tailights :DSince the 20th Cougar was a replacement for the musclecars of my childhood, I have no desire to replace it - I much prefer the better chassis of the Fox Cougar, better suspension and EFI w/roller cam engine that will dust any of those old musclecars achieving twice the mileage of my GTO.

Reply #48 – April 28, 2007, 04:45:37 PM the mark 8 LSC 1st or 2nd gen could have one as soon as next year.The G-force hemi cuda where muscle meets supercar with 1 million dollar build saw at barret-jackson got the owners signature. 870hp all motor with a 300 shot no side mirrors because i doubt you need them.The 2008 RT with the drag pack 615RWHP wheelie bar and slicks and weld racing rims come stock.And a JAGUAR XJ220 will add a picture later of it.

What would you give up your Bird/Cat for? Reply #49 – April 28, 2007, 06:09:47 PM There isn't a car in the world I would trade my '85 Cougar for. It was the first car I ever bought, I paid $250 for it. At the time it had a decent paint job and was a solid running carbed 3.8L/C5. After a year or two, me and my dad swapped in a 4.2L V8 from an '81 XR-7 that we bought from a local s yard. It ran OK for having a hole in a piston and a piston with no rings at all. :hick: Managed a 17.1 at 85MPH in the quarter with that motor. Once I got ahold of a good 302 2Bbl, we swapped that in and instantly ran a 16.1 at 89MPH. Me and dad spent ALOT of time working on this car together, 4 motors, 7 trannies, and 4, 7.5" differentials. I swapped in it over the years.So as you can tell, I learned how to swap 5.0L's into these cars in under 4 hours because of it. I drove it hard, for 4 years, Then when A deal came up on a Stang in town I really wanted, I bought it. After a week or two my wife said "the stang or the Cougar has to go, you have too many cars." So I had a kid in town offer me $750 for the cougar, so I jumped on it. I regreted it from the day I handed him the keys. It only took him a month to put it broadside into a ditch and mangle the front end. I let him sit on it for a few months and went out to look at it sitting in the field behind his barn.As soon as I walked up on the car I could feel my emotions stirring from saddness to anger at the little POS for killing it like that. He told me they were planning to crush it with the loader and send it to the s yard, so I offered him $250 for it. He took it.the damage he did to it has since been fixed, but it is now undergoing a full on resto. I hope to have it running with the 351W that is in my barn by the end of summer. This car will NEVER leave my ownership again. WAY to many memories to tell about here. Quote Selected

Reply #51 – April 28, 2007, 09:53:57 PM Quote from: Cougar5.0...and it has Cougar tailights :DUmm, actually, those are T-Bird tail lights :flip: Cougar lights have vertical bars and aren't smooth like those onesDMC24Guy: I know where there's one of those brand new, with 7 kilometers on it. Yes, seven kilometers, as in 4 miles. The very rich owner of a local Pontiac/Buick/GMC dealership took delivery of it in 1987 and put it in the basp00get of the dealership, where it has sat in climate controlled comfort (including filtered air) ever since. It has never been titled, and has never even been PDI'd. Technically, since the car is still brand new and has never been titled, and is still in the custody of a Buick dealership, it would still have full factory warranty if he ever sold it.We all know GNX's are rare. Imagine how rare a Canadian-spec one with metric speedometer would be (figure the Canadian market is about 1/10th the size of the US market - for example we got approximately 500 20th Cougars). Then imagine how rare a brand new one would be 20 years later. Now, put it back in your pants Quote Selected

What would you give up your Bird/Cat for? Reply #58 – April 29, 2007, 09:46:46 AM Strange, every article I've read, and everyone I've had write me looking for a sequencer for their Shelby clone says they have mid 60's T-Bird lights. They did sequence like the Cougars, but then again, that was a Thunderbird first, too :D*EDIT* I stand corrected - apparently the '67 Shelby did use Cougar lenses, but newer ones used the T-Bird lights Quote Selected
