History

I bought this car after I rolled my firs 69 Cougar, way back in the 80's. I was home on leave in the mid west, and had to fly back out west. I said I wasn't driving anything unless it was a Cougar. I got a pretty good deal on this car. XR7, tilt away steering, leather seats.
The hard times happened when I had to go over seas. The car was stored in a barn for 8 years, and the mice got into it, and made it there home, for many generations. 90% of the body and interior damage is due to the mice. I moved the car to Iowa, from Nebraska, and then had it towed out to Idaho. I just finished putting a newer engine and rebuilt transmission in it, and have most of the other parts waiting for it.

Modifications

Sure, it needs some paint and a new vinyl roof. I've had this car for over 20 years, to give up now is just not an option.

Interior

The car had a red leather interior, which was ruined by mice.

In-Car Entertainment

Holes in the floor board.

I did a light rebuild on a 302 out of an 80's full size Bronco. The engine will be a 347 when I am done. These are a couple of shots before, during and after the swap.
For some reason, it isn't taking the shots of the new engine. I'll have to add them later.

Suspension

Bone stock. Air shocks in the rear, that still work amazingly enough.

Wheels and Tires

Crappy aluminum slot uni lugs.
