RE: 1967 Cougar
good luck finding a GT-E
i would kill to have a 427 Cougar, but I'd settle for a 428 CJ (Cougar-Jet..haha)
Little bit of facts on the cougar (67-68):
3" longer wheelbase than a mustang. this was done for more legroom.
There is no such thing as a 6-cylinder cougar
It was the ONLY factory Ford ponycar that could be had with the almighty 427
69-70:
no such thing as an 8" equipped Cougar (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

^ please say your joking about that pic. You cant really tell with Clu7ch [&:]
Anyway...What a cool car! When I have the money someday I'll own a cougar, but it'll be a race car

i love the 4 door landau t-bird. i love the grille with the flip up headlights and the huge t-bird in the middle. 
and i really love the 63 vert. the lines on the car are beautiful. not much to the aerodynamic standards of today, but the lines are way nicer IMO.
oh, by the way, i know someone with a 94 cougar 3.8L with some electrical probs. she's getting rid of it, no title. perfect canidate for a race car.

Clu7ch,
I am with you on the 67 Bird with the suicide doors. My uncle had one...purchased it new in 67. I thought that was one of the coolest 4-door cars made.
I am partial to the 64 Birds (65 as well).

I had a '70 Cougar at one time with the 351-4V Windsor. Great interior like a Mach 1 and sequential taillights are very cool!
That will be a sweet ride there THUMPIN455. It like like the Hot Wheels Nitty Gritty Kitty!
