Such a beautiful truck Ryan. Are you absolutely sure you HAVE to get rid of it?

Yea, its always tough to see a favorite rig go, but thats the way of it. I hated selling my 67 merc, damn near got teary eyed seeing it pull away for the last time with somebody else behind the wheel. Projects come and projects go. At least your sticking with the blue oval

AHHH Pro...you sold your cougar, thats too bad. My buddy has a 69 cougar california car. Body in mint condition but the interior is really baked. Best part of all is he got it for nearly free when the head gasked blew in his home town and the guy traded him the cougar for a crappy but running 70's 4 door buick so he had something to get back to cali.

Yea, I had two, a '67 & '68 Cougar. I tend to sell my projects once they are 100% completed. I'll get another one eventually and prostock it.

I guess thats the good thing about me always breaking stuff or tweaking my '73 truck, it'll never be done so I'll never sell it.

I know, I know. But I'd pretty much finished the truck. Always got to move onto bigger and better things. I always swore I'd at least never sell that motor but I guess I'll just have to do a 427 cammer next time
