I should have done this sooner, I don't know why I didn't. Here is my dad'* 1967 Mercury Cougar.

I'll let the the pictures do talking...

Here'* a few months after he bought it, I believe in the pic all he had done was clean it up and replace the bumpers:


New rims & Hood Scoop:


Cougar Nationals in Fairfax Va. a couple years ago:








Carlisle All Ford Nationals, Placed 3rd!

Some cool pictures:






The Engine; Ford 289




The Purple headers, too bad that only lasted about a minute, it all burned off


Heres how she sits, well up until last week:





Since he bought it he has been building it up to take a BigBlock FE Ford 428 cj and now its all set to take it, its jut a matter of finishing th motor which is about a year or two away. Then after that paint, a true Pearl White /w Purple Pin Stripes

DUDE. sexy... although i can't decide if i love or hate the spoiler


looks like he'* takin' a whizz half out of the picture

The color of that car is amazing, its what really sets it off in my opinion. Hes going to paint it white? Man, i wouldn't.

i missed the repainting part. i agree... leave it that color

X a bunch. That car is gorgeous. A pearl color, especially white, is going to look HORRIBLE on a Cougar. And purple pinstripes? God, I hope like hell you're joking...

That is one beautiful car! Kudos to your dad and yourself.

So your dad wasn't kidding about the purple headers afterall. That looks shuper shweet.

He is set on Pearl White & Purple Pinstripes, I think it is going to look awesome, you guys really don't think so?

It not gonna be the pearl white you normally see, its gonna have a sortof purple hue to it, like it'll look white at some angles and purple in others. It'll be sweet. Thats just somethine he has always wanted.

I love a white car, honestly my unbiased opinion, dad'* as well.

And no he wasn't kidding about the purple headers

So a white basecoat with pearl clear mixed with, say, 15% purple tint?

I could see it.
