That car has to have 120,000 miles on it but still a good project car.

Thanks for heads up. Need to do same thing

How long ago did you buy it? May I ask what you paid? I like the so called transition years, 71 to 73 of cougar. My preference are the 71 and 72 as I dislike the 5 mph front bumper. That said, I hope you restore this 73. In this condition, it's a Find!

Great video!

Rad truck.

That year of mustang is such a bada$$ year the looks alone‼️👌🏼🔥

Very nice Stang!!! Great video too!!!

That color is beautiful 💙

Hey man, thanks for the video, looking forward to this build..... Jim

When will it be ready for me to stop by and take it for a drive?

My Favorite car in the world, Fastback Mustang. Like this not a newer model.

I dont suppose the 73 cougar is for sale ?

I've got a 77 k 10.

Looks good

This looks like its gonna be a great project. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

3k you got a good car. Looks nice.

My stepdad had a 71 cougar with a 351. It hauled ass

I had a friend who had a 1973 Mercury Cougar XR7 back in the day! It was a really great, fun car to drive around in! 👍🏽❤️

I love that car

You'll have to let us know how it holds up! I've heard mixed things about the linseed oil getting cloudy and sticky much sooner than say Poppy's or VGG's wipe on clear. Much more expensive though.

Sweet ride. I would love to find a 71 cougar with the 429 cj in it.

West Coast Classic Cougars sell the y pipe for 114 dollars they also do full dual exhaust for 550 dollars 😊 driving

Car looks fantastic back cruising the streets! 💙

You know you’re a big shot when you have a camera person! 💪

keep up the good work

Really like your attention to detail and your mechanical knowledge on this old classics love it , look forward on next episode , like to see it on a test drive .

Not sure how much you know about the 351C. I do not know a lot and I am still learning on these old cars. A quick cheap upgrade would be to get the water restrictor plate for the cooling system. You can find it on the west coast cougar site. If you run into an issue where you gauge is giving a high reading this could be the cause.

Always smart to replace the fuel tank. I get angry when I watch these big TH-camrs struggle with clogged filters and carburetors because they kept the old tank. 🤷‍♂️

Your Cougar is starting to look really nice greetings from Australia

Glad to see that she’s alive and doing fine! 💙

In 2024, this 73 has less rust than the 71 I bought in 1987 and drove for a couple of years. That one had 125k on the clock. Your interior’s better too. Mine also had a 351C 2V with an FMX and an open rear end. Despite being a piece of junk , it was a fun car.

30:03 thank goodness you dropped the oil pan! As soon as I saw you having to unclog the drain plug I was yelling “drop the oil pan and clean the pump intake”

I see a whole lot of green and trees in the background so you must be somewhere in South Texas cus up here in the Panhandle everything is flat and brown. Enjoyed your vids, Keep up the good work!

That's a badass charger in the beginning of the video!!

Can’t wait to see u get into it

awesome video! 👍🏼👍🏼

This is awesome information!! Thanks Sal!
