I live in Kelowna, BC and I remember seeing my first Ford Mercury Cougar when I was 11 years old. My uncle Edgar had just purchased a 1967 Cougar and was speaking with my Dad. As I looked at the dark green cougar with the black interior I was taken back by the sleek look and the overall styling. The pop up head lights really intrigued me and so did the sequential head lights.
What truly caught my attention was the ten foot skid mark that my uncle left on the pavement. The sound of squealing tires and smell of burnt rubber has stayed with me for a long, long time.
I personally fell in love with Cougar’s styling and with the second model change , the 1969 Cougar became my dreamed car.
Last year I purchased my 1969 Cougar. After a search of the BC interior where I became disappointed with the term “Great Shape” I decided to take my search south and purchased an all original 1969 Ivy Green Cougar out of Eugene Oregon. I am the third owner and the car has all the horse power I need. With over 330 HP I am now able to relive the dreams of my youth and leave my own ten foot skid mark here in the present.
“I love the smell of Rubber in the morning. It’s the smell of Victory”
Here are a few picks of the updates, Exterior hood scoop, Lower spoiler , Rocker panels and 15 x7 Magnum 500 with 235 TA’s.
The car has a complete new front end, tie rods, ball joints and upper and lower control arms.
The 351W 4-V Drives like a dream and plenty of horse power with Edelbrock manifold and 650 carb, pushing 330 hp.
