This video is old too. They aren't wearing jackets and at the end, there's a park shot where everything is green. He's probably made a lot of progress. Can't wait to see the results.
The same with Mustie. His channel is so popular because it takes you back to a time before the internet existed and you just went over to your friends house and just hung out.
Thats an enthusiast for you. My dad was the same way with anything 55,56,57 Chevy. He and I restored them for a long time, had a ton of parts, and knew a lot of people. My HS car was 57 Bel Air 2dr hardtop, with a 283 and the original 2 speed powerglide. That was soon replaced with a 350 4boltmain, and a turbo350.
That fella is not very organized with his parts. I would have taken every single one out of there and laid them out mostly so Mustie could see them all. That would have been the respectable thing to do.
Back in 70 my girlfriend's Dad worked for if I remember right a place called Car Craft...in (Redford, Mi ) And tagged a 1970 ( one of 3) (they say there was only 2..had my hands on all 3 of them) a Boss 429 Cougar I think it was tagged as a XR8 Black on Black. Man I drooled all over it......The weekend before they where going to pick it up Company left it out in the yard over night and had the magnum 500 wheels stolen off it. Ford's nixed it Said they weren't buying wheels for it and sent it to the Crusher. So Sad.
Now THAT’S the kind of guy you wanna buy a car from (or anything else for that matter). Meticulous, honest, straight to the point and knows what he’s talking about. I’m betting that anything he did to that car was done right and all of the parts are there and good to go. Looks like a great project, though I’m not a Ford guy I do love the ‘67-68 Cougars and Stangs!
@@larryalexander4833 He's asking $40K for the other car, so I doubt anyone will pull a fast one on him. Knows what things are worth and makes sure both parties are happy with the deal.
Gotta be an emotional day for that guy. Only thing making it easier is selling it to a great guy like Mustie that has the patience to listen and appreciate all of the stories and info. 👍👍👍👍
Thinking she was a "Car Gal. During her brief off camera statement she referred to how nice the sail panel XR7 badging was. Possibly she volunteered slightly older bed sheets in trade for new ones.
No rust, no grease, no leaks, no locked up brakes? Did I open the wrong channel this morning? Seriously awesome car. Wish I could get my hands on something half as nice to restore and use. Awesome gentleman you bought it from, too. Love visiting with people like that!
When Mustie says “I think I’m going to wrap it up here...” that’s a signal to put it on pause and go make another cup of coffee! Nice car and what a great gentleman who sold it to you.
Now that gentleman was just as nice as can be. You can tell he really loves his cars and is so proud to show it off before he sells it. Wish all transactions were like this. Would like to see you two do a build together! That would make his day :) God bless him
Thats a Sweet Car. With not any miles on it. Unreal. That Gentleman is a Really Nice Man. He saves everything. Which is a Good thing. Guys like him are few and far between. Great Car
What an absolute gentleman the previous owner is, absolutely love dealing with people like him it makes buying cars so much better and wholesome, wish there were more of him out there!
This guy is a gem. He kept pulling out parts. I think I would have bought anything he was selling A barnfind with no mice and the tires even were full of air ! I think I would have bought anything he was selling. Glad you got this car
Looking forward to this one. Back in the 80's, my late brother in law had a Cougar XR7. I loved that car. Something new to look forward to. I just got done binge watching the Farmall tractor engine replacement series. I swear, each time I watch your videos I learn a little bit more each time. Thanks for your great work and posting it for us to see.
I wish I still had my '67 Cougar. They are getting big bucks for them now. The seller was awesome and you can tell that he really cares about the car. His documentation is incredible.
30 seconds into the video and loving it already. This gentleman definitely shows his love of these cars. So meticulous in his approach. I hope you'll be able to show him the completed project. I can see why you'd love to "loose yourself" in this one... Just do, to do. No pressure. Just the love of the time spent, and the relaxation that it brings. Chris Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
She's not a basket case, more like a premium model kit started by a master modeler. You gotta just love finding projects like this coming from people like Mike. Top gentleman.
Thank you again very nice. One thing to note. Use clean rages or you will be rubbing oils and containments into your paint. Also use the proper sanding pads your putting finger grooves in your paint. It's always best to wash the surface clean and then use a cleaning solvent before sanding. Otherwise you will rub anything that is on the surface deeper into the paint. Fisheye reducer works but it's always best to reduce the chance of contaminating the surface before hand. Have a great day.
She's going to be a true beauty when complete. Back in 77 (Jr in high school) I had a 69 Mach 1 with a 390. My dad called it a 'hoodlum car'. Still looking for one to bring back. Thanks for letting us share the journey! J
Bwuahahahahahaha!!! I kept thinking the same thing. What impressed me was the Amante GT bad engine and Mustie wanders into his hoard and pulls out an engine with cost to him of a seal and carb kit....
I had a 69 convertible with a 351 I bought for $1000 twenty years ago.offered it to my daughter for her 16 th birthday but she wanted a lowered Nissan instead. I sold the cougar and someone stole her Nissan.
All the hard work is done! I had a 1968 with a 390ci . Couldn't get it to not overheat. New radiator,water pump, flushed the block. Finally sold it and later found out it was over bored
Treasure you found there!!! NICE 👍👍 Looking forward to see what you make of it 😍👍 And the guy who sold it, i wish there would be more guys like that. The world would be much nicer then! 😊
When I was in high school I took my mothers 70 Cougar and did doughnuts in a clover field for about an hour. I believe that was the last time she let me driver her car. That car reminded me. Ha.
Looking forward to more vids of this Cougar Mustie! Enjoyed this one - especially hearing all the backstory from Mike! I'm always kinda on the lookout for a '74 Camaro for the same reason - high school car, lots of memories! Thanks Mustie!

That guy was good honest man. He made sure ya get everything ya have coming with the car and more and apologizes for imperfections he's noticing.
I wish all car guys were like this. I find they don't want to give up the good stuff and will give you the bare minimum that you agreed to.
This video is old too. They aren't wearing jackets and at the end, there's a park shot where everything is green. He's probably made a lot of progress. Can't wait to see the results.
Your gonna need a bigger place ☺️ That's a nice looking car👍
@@SkaterStimm yeh, heh, that would be my old man
I agree but he was not well organized. He seems like a nice fella, tho.
The world rarely makes nice people like this seller anymore! Mike is very genuine, and it's a cool car to re-build.
so many people are nice....
it's just people JUDGE BY LOOKS & never get to know as many
@@dopeytripod Absolutely.
The same with Mustie. His channel is so popular because it takes you back to a time before the internet existed and you just went over to your friends house and just hung out.
Man, he is selling the car, but you can see clearly that he still cares for the car. Supernice gentleman.
Selling by necessity I suspect. He doesnt really want to sell I'm guessing.
@@stanburton6224 speculation, yeah but possibly moving, selling the house and will have no garage at the new place.

This guy has parts stashed everywhere, Mustie1 will get a couple more phone calls, I found some more parts I found for you. What a nice gentleman.

That fella is not very organized with his parts. I would have taken every single one out of there and laid them out mostly so Mustie could see them all. That would have been the respectable thing to do.
Mustie should grab the photo album, it should stay with the car.

Mustie brought home a cougar in great shape, great body. The jokes just write themselves!!!!
Please do not encourage Mustie as we will be subjected to endless teenage boy jokes..... on the other hand let him. LOL
Nothing like a nice cougar with a great body.
No, the cougar followed him home.
@@tomtruesdale6901 nah, teenage innuendo jokes are the best.
I’ve great memories of a couple cougars I rode hard when I was young. Never had a Mercury though.
When buying a 'project' car from someone, this is the one to buy! Absolutely meticulous! What a wonderful find!!
More sellers should be this great. You can tell he really cares for his things.
1970 had a lot of beautiful muscle cars.
Poor guys wife. She has been trying to keep nice sheets on the bed for years. Only to have them disappear all the time.
Thinking she was a "Car Gal. During her brief off camera statement she referred to how nice the sail panel XR7 badging was. Possibly she volunteered slightly older bed sheets in trade for new ones.
Like the coffee cups in the Mustie household .
That is the kind of guy to deal with. Very cool that he let you film to share with us!
I hope this gentleman is a subscriber so he can see all the positive responses regarding him.
Wow! Jackpot! Amazing score Mr Mustie. Congrats 👏 👍
Wow that dude set the bar for “good seller”...
Mike was honest as heck and I would have no problem buying that car!!!! Good find Mustie!!!!!
This is not so much a rescue/restore, but a re-assemble. Tab A goes into slot B. Looking forward to the process and result.
No rust, no grease, no leaks, no locked up brakes? Did I open the wrong channel this morning? Seriously awesome car. Wish I could get my hands on something half as nice to restore and use. Awesome gentleman you bought it from, too. Love visiting with people like that!

This gentleman is amazing. I can only hope to be as nice, and as accommodating when I get to be older.
Love it he says "I'm sorry there are a few problems that I've not noticed before! that resto. is amazing!

In the dead of winter it is really great to end the video with a beautiful summer clip. Thanks Mustie, you da man!!!

What an absolute gentleman the previous owner is, absolutely love dealing with people like him it makes buying cars so much better and wholesome, wish there were more of him out there!
wow what a trooper he has a physical photo album of it documented
Very old school
Sunday morning Mustie1! Gotta love it when you see his video is ready, and you sit down to watch it without even checking to see how long it is! Great
I like when shopping, and the seller keeps going " and Also I have this for you, and this, oh and this other thing"
It is like Columbo letting go of a project car he never had time to finish... "ah... there's just one more thing..."
What a guy, what a cool pair of guys, what a fantastic car, great find Mustie, respect to the Gentleman.

Mike's sounds like a good, easy going character. I'd say he has some good stories to tell, and a great way of telling them too.
I wish I still had my '67 Cougar. They are getting big bucks for them now.
The seller was awesome and you can tell that he really cares about the car. His documentation is incredible.
Mustie gets a Mercury Cougar and the dude gets his garage back.
It's a win-win.
And basement too.
Absolutely one of my favorite cars. What a great person the seller is. Very honest.

I wish all car purchases were like that. Super nice guy and was really helpful. That will make a nice car when finished.
Mike needs to make some guest appearances on this project.
This is no basket case!
I’am going to enjoy seeing this get put together by Mustie!
Yeah.. He's a good guy, They don't make em like that anymore..
I had a 71 Cougar in 1976, it was sky blue and wonderful!
I am jealous!
What a fine gentleman. He would make a nice neighbour. Looking forward to this project. Regards all from N. Ireland.
I owned a 1970 Cougar XR7 back in 1972, white with blue interior. What a great car with Cleveland 352. I can't wait to see it all together.
Can’t wait to see the Econoline get done, love that van
Mustie dislikes bodywork. He does need to work through it.
We are allways seeing the orange econoline in the background. I've been watching it.
Nice gentleman and well organised. Great project and fantastic start. Look forward to this build
Cougar look's Excellent I remember putting sand bags in the trunk cause it was lite on the back wheel traction still a very nice driving car!!!; )
The ol' one wheel peel and a full trunk of cinder blocks. Good times!
Very nice PJ car wish I'd found it. Can't wait to see ya work on it.
The heavy lifting is pretty much done on a solid, rust-free project, It's a keeper for sure.
She's not a basket case, more like a premium model kit started by a master modeler. You gotta just love finding projects like this coming from people like Mike. Top gentleman.
When buying and selling becomes so much more than just exchanging money and items. Watching you two was a blast 🙂🇩🇰
Thank you again very nice. One thing to note. Use clean rages or you will be rubbing oils and containments into your paint. Also use the proper sanding pads your putting finger grooves in your paint.

Previous owner cared about this Cougar. As you were loading it he kept his hand on the car. Good looking car.
What a super nice guy. Looks after his projects very well.
The seller seems like a real honest guy.
Mike has done such a great job, I hope he enjoys good health. To come so far and to abandon the project I hope he is ok. What a gentleman.
It's like a huge model kit that needs putting together.
Yep, 1970 Cougar by Ikea. Some assembly required. 🤣
Almost all cars are.
Yes. Exactly the same. Just different tools and materials.
Wow-what a cool project-they still exist! Well done!
Plot twist: Mustie is actually the kid who messed this car up in the 70's 😁
....glad I'm not the only one thinking that....
He used to have one of these (Mustie1) some time ago and he sold it, but never seemed like he *wanted* to.
@@jayinmi3706 I think that car was a Mustang, not a Cougar.
@@chrisfreemesser5707 It's actually a Corolla

"But wait, there's more!" A guy with a massive horde of parts gets access to someone else's horde of parts, it's like Christmas.
Bwuahahahahahaha!!! I kept thinking the same thing.
What impressed me was the Amante GT bad engine and Mustie wanders into his hoard and pulls out an engine with cost to him of a seal and carb kit....
@@patchescessna7348 I believe that Amante came with the extra engine
Strips and decals always a pleasure finding people like that!
I had a 68 Cougar- the big selling point was the sequential turn signals, which were operated by a little motor that spun around a set of contacts.
Reminds me of the older electromechanical pinball machine...
I loved that in my 68 also. The new mustangs with the sequential lights, just are not the same. Same concept, but doesn’t look the same.
The Couger and Thunderbird sequential taillights fascinated me as a kid. Still love these much better than Mustangs.
I had a 69 convertible with a 351 I bought for $1000 twenty years ago.offered it to my daughter for her 16 th birthday but she wanted a lowered Nissan instead. I sold the cougar and someone stole her Nissan.
We had one growing up.. The taillights were my favorite thing on it.. We also had a 66 Mustang pony car at the same time..
Look forward to that rebuild 👍🏴
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say I dont think this was filmed in NH in January. Is this the secret car hidden behind Curtain Number One?
He mention the non-bike week. Must have been shot in June of 2020
I was just wondering that myself.
All the hard work is done! I had a 1968 with a 390ci . Couldn't get it to not overheat. New radiator,water pump, flushed the block. Finally sold it and later found out it was over bored
I wish more people were as honest as the guy selling the cougar.
Such a sad statement (but so true) to make, I like to think there’s a helluva lot more of us out there like him though....
I had a 1970 Cougar Eliminator. I loved that car! It sure would have stories to tell as well.
"Oh, yeah, they eat everything, the little bastards"..... Best sentence I've heard today!
Ya I love that sentenced.
What a beautiful piece of machinery. Nice find.
Looks like you bought a brand-new Cougar in kit form.
This will be a fun project. Looking forward to watching the progress.
Your white trunk exposed dirt on my computer monitor also. :-D
yeah half the bad spots i saw on that paint were just on my monitor too.
Love the Cougar! Reminds me of when I was a kid eating leftover fruit from my Cousin's PJ party!
My dream car. Who wants a mustang when you can have all the factory bling of a Cougar.
Never find a straight 6 in a Cougar!
A very nice car and a very nice gentleman. Looking forward to seeing the project progress.
Well looks like a great project to help with the memories looking forward to see it come back together

Thats the guy you want to buy a car from, man did his own work, documented everything, and gave you extras
You can tell the sellers care and passion by the way he labeled everything and protected it in storage! The world needs more people like him.
They were a very underrated muscle car.. But now they are starting to come back.. Going to be a very nice car...
Talk about love for the vehicle. Priceless !!!!!
Good Sunday morning Mustie. This looks like a great project, can't wait to see more.
That's gonna be one Beautiful Ride. I always loved the Cougar's lines. It could use a really nice color and topcoat. But, Wow, what a find!

What a guy! "tonight on Mustie1, Mustie meets his long lost cousin he didn't know about"
What a find, Mustie will have the doors on and be driving it round next weekend...Bet he can't believe his luck...🤔🤔😳🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
That is the find of the year. you don't see many of those around anymore. cool af.
Love me some obscure cars like this! Awesome! Thanks for sharing these two!
Who else now wants to hear Musties stories from his youth involving a car like this?
It's a cliff hanger...believe our host has a bit of "Sprite in him!
Powershifting through a school zone type of stuff?
Nice,love the older cougars,68 & 69 & the eliminator especially the 4 on the floor
What a great guy. Here's to his new found freedom.! Shockingly Mustie grabs a dirty rag! Oh! The rage!!! 🤪
Wow. Its things like this thats makes it fun to find old cars and fix them up ❤
I would find it hard to leave this man house would just be there chatting about the car
Fantastic seller. Gonna be a sweet car when finished. Great buy
