UPDATE!!! Put the old Cougar back in the garage for the fall. Found a busted piston when changing the oil pan, so naturally I jacked the motor out. I also gutted the interior and started working on the floor rot. For this winter, I'll redo the interior (floor, carpet, seats, etc...) and do something with the motor (not sure what yet). Can't decide whether to save cash and fix the minor damage done to the 289, or drop in a 351W (costly). I'll try and get some good pics of the work I'm doing soon. Meantine- enjoy pics of when she was still together!!

I bought it in August 03' for about $3,000. My grandfather who put up the money to get me this, my first real car. And recently he passed away, so having this is a great way to remember him. Thanks Pa....
