1967 Mercury Cougar



 

My mechanic knew that I was looking to buy another car and he called me one night and said that he had a car to show me and to come and have a look at it before going out to buy something else.So I went there with my wife and my friend told us to follow him to the barn at the back and when he opened the barn door and got this car out it was just amazing.The sound of this car was so nice and the bright yellow color and nice new mags with wide ovals on just made this car beautiful to look at.It was a 1967 Mercury Cougar with a 289HO 4V dual exhaust with Hooker Headers and a C4 automatic transmission.My wife just fell in love with the car and me too. I had one like that in 1974 and had a big accident with it.These Cougars are getting hard to find.So,I got rid of my motorcycle that I had bought brand new in 2000 and bought this car for my retirement.After 1 year of driving this car it's going great and I already invested over $5000 worth of chrome and changing all the rubbers on the car.Now,all I need is to put a good cd player in and out we go cruisin.Wherever we go,the heads turn and we can hear the comments"Look at the nice car,what kind of car is that".Even the young kids turn around and make good comments.These were the best years for muscle cars and sports car.The 60's can't be beat.I think we lived in the best years ever.
