HARKUSCAT's 1968 Mercury Cougar 

A little history on the cougar. I have known this car for about 20 years. My brothers friend owned this car for many years. As a 16 year old kid, I always told him, when he wanted to sell the car, to call me. One day 20 years later he walked in my store looking for some material. I asked him if he still had the cougar, he said he did and it was for sale. We agreed on a price and the rest is history. I have owned her for 2 years and loving every momment . Thanks to Dani's OK Tire staff, my brother Dani, Sue, Ron, Barry, Rudy and Richard for all of thier help.

This is what she looked like when I found her. It was parked for 14 years.
