Years ago I was given a 1967 Dan Gurney special 390 automatic Mercury Cougar it had the 6.5 badge on the fender had the one inch roll bar and heavy-duty front suspension chrome air cleaner chrome Power by Ford valve covers from 0 to 100 the fastest car I ever drove
That spare tire reads Arakelian mileage waster. It being a California car it probably was from the now defunct ARAKELIAN TIRE CO. Google search is so much fun
Amazing he didn't use an awle to stab and scratch cars. Judt too ruff on cars that don't belong to him..owner should be concerned when he starts to break the car down for the new owner and price. 😂😂😂
Nice car, what would the price be for a car like this? Thank you for making educational and good videos, has helped me alot whit my car :) Even several things a local Mustang expert mechanic doesnt know..
No, but we can recommend a couple of places that do top notch Cougar restorations. For the west coast, Cascade Classics (in WA). For the east coast, KTL Restorations (in VA).
I had hoped I would win something, but all I could see for a 1967 model was that the knobs looked more like the ones on my 1968 Mustang . My friend has a 67 Cougar with a radio and I thought they were different from those with a outer tab for Balance while the other was Bass Treble .
Don Rush The 68 Stang is gone , it was a Fastback in Highland Green with Black inside and my girl friend made it into a boomerang from a bad right turn on a Red light and not looking first. She was OK and we went our ways, but I'm not bitter , No F%^$ing way that Sea Hag witch warthog will make me carry that destroyed dream with me to rob my joy. I'm sure there are lots of low mileage good condition 65 fastbacks in Green with near mint black Interior .

It was chosen to be taken to the track and run hard on the weekends.... So I was told and I found it I ended up being the 4th owner I was standing on Archer avenue one night out in front of a corner tavern and heard it coming and saw it go by and it was a purple flash and then I heard it down shift and all I said was who in the hell does that car belong to and somebody said they thought they knew they were going to go inside and ask I come to find out it seems like Dreamland or something and really I can imagine your mustang 302 1970 bad car and you know little car a real good little car they always said I always heard Beats a big car a good big car every time.. .

I asked this gentleman for help finding a car and he rudely ignored me and told me to move on. I would be careful in dealing with him not as he comes off in these videos
@@donrush5690 feel free Mr. Rush 1st admendment and all, not afraid to sling hash but the truth is I never acted inappropriately reread my letter to you, I gave to nothing but praise but you acted like a buffoon and rudely ignored this. You could have easily written back saying something to the effect that you received my letter but am not in a position to help me which is at least a response.
I can't be the only one revisiting this video and others of him inspecting cougars. 👍
I love the Cougar over the old Mustangs any day!
Years ago I was given a 1967 Dan Gurney special 390 automatic Mercury Cougar it had the 6.5 badge on the fender had the one inch roll bar and heavy-duty front suspension chrome air cleaner chrome Power by Ford valve covers from 0 to 100 the fastest car I ever drove
Great review and information. I drove this car thirty five miles round trip. With old cracked tires. Lol
It cames from the same dealer of mine in 67 : Glendale Star Mercury-Lincoln. :-)
This is my favorite Cougar had a regular 1968 XR7 cloned it into a XR7G
I can't believe you can get that for 13 grand. that's a perfect match to my 2 owner all original 53k mile xr7 but I thought they were worth 20.
Very nice '67 good luck on the sale.
it was sold in 2015 for 13.6k
Didn't hear what the engine was . Guessing 289 ?
That spare tire reads Arakelian mileage waster. It being a California car it probably was from the now defunct ARAKELIAN TIRE CO. Google search is so much fun
Shame it didn't have the original paint. Beautiful regardless.
did they make these in stick? cause i saw one for sale stick but what hesitant cause not sure if factory or shotty custom job
Yes, the base model would have come with a 3-speed stick. Automatic was an extra cost option. 4-speed manual was also available.
Ernie P Yes Thay did , 3 & 4 Speed Stick Were Available..
Amazing he didn't use an awle to stab and scratch cars. Judt too ruff on cars that don't belong to him..owner should be concerned when he starts to break the car down for the new owner and price. 😂😂😂

Thank you for making educational and good videos, has helped me alot whit my car :)

The buy it now was exercised at $13,675. The car is bound for AZ. Congrats to the new owner!
Do yall do restorations to a whole car
No, but we can recommend a couple of places that do top notch Cougar restorations. For the west coast, Cascade Classics (in WA). For the east coast, KTL Restorations (in VA).
Joshua Morehead yes I do
yay! good for you!
What was wrong with the radio knobs?
I had hoped I would win something, but all I could see for a 1967 model was that the knobs looked more like the ones on my 1968 Mustang . My friend has a 67 Cougar with a radio and I thought they were different from those with a outer tab for Balance while the other was Bass Treble .
Gary wood
Thanks.
They are from a 1968 as 67 knobs are very scarce. They are our very own repros that we wholesale to NPD, Mustangs Unlimited, CJ pony parts and others.
Gary wood 30% off on your next order of 1968 radio knobs is the prize! Good eye...

Wow
Mercury cougar 1987 locate TRANSMISSION LOCKING UP PRICES
Love mercury and the fact that you're doing in there for the public are extremely important thanks for your time.
Be honest , you have those mylars on your head board , lol
This dude picks apart cars too much. In Kentucky, you’d be hard pressed to find a 50 year old car that isn’t a rust bucket
too much "lingo" you need to explain better

I asked this gentleman for help finding a car and he rudely ignored me and told me to move on. I would be careful in dealing with him not as he comes off in these videos
I actually feel really good about this reply, after his acting really inappropriately I wanted to say much more and did not.

Running slug gas does NOT help that engine. Needs to go to a new home NOT on the far left coast with their "reformulated slug gas!"
