Greg, I've been running 67 & 68 Cougars for over a decade now. They are a great car to build up. Eventually I'm going to tub and pro stock my 68. They are much beefier than mustangs and different enough to draw many looks and comments. Great choice.

Pro,

The Cougars are basically the same chassis as the mustangs, right? I should be able to find replacements and upgrade chassis and drive-train parts easily....

Basically, Greg. The main difference is that they use all the heavier equipment where the mustangs were hit or miss depending on the engine package. I've found the Cougars to be a better starting platform for potent street builds. You won't have any problems finding aftermarket replacements/upgrades for them. Heck...they even have electric replacements now to replace the old motorized (which always broke) sequential rear turn signals. I just love the 67/68 style...

Only really cool cars can get away with the 70s lime fluorescent neon psycho greens. I think it would be superb on a 67-68 Cougar.
