Ownership Story
I purchased these two Cougars less than a year ago from different sellers only about 10 miles apart. Based on their VINs, they were almost certainly built in the same factory and the same week in 1967 an amazing coincidence after nearly six decades.
My original plan was really simple: to make them both roadworthy, running, stopping, and reliable drivers without a full restoration. Maybe do seats - and dash pad. Even with cracked and weathered paint, they still turn heads on the road.
However, at my age and with other projects needing attention, Ive decided its time to let someone else take over this unique two-car package.
