Sporting goods are a pretty sound collectible investment
The Mustang and the F250 will stay with us, I think. Too much sentiment attached. I'd sell the bikes or Jeeps first if we ever got into serious financial trouble.
Uh...Since the 302 was introduced in Spring1968, the base engine for all 1968 Ford Passenger Cars, Mercury Cougars, Comets and Montego's was the 289 2V, prior to the 302 introduction.
When the 302 came out, the 289 continued in production till the end of the 1968 model run.
There was also a "Mile High" Special, only sold in Colorado. It's the same car as the CA Special, a '68 Mustang coupe with added scoops, stripes, 1964/65 T-Bird taillamp lenses and bodies, 1965 T-Bird taillamp bezels.
Did'ja know (prolly not) that 1964/65 T-Bird backup lamps were also used as cargo lamps on 1967/72 F100/350's?
Inre to the 390 starter, it's not that hard to find when you consider the same 3 hole starter (C3OZ11002C) was used in all 1962/76 FE engines, 1960/74 144/170 I-6's, 1964/80 200 I-6's and 1965/79 240/300 I-6's with A/T.
Well, let's see. Everything on the Cougar forums shows that the base 1968 Cougar engine was the 302 from some extremely knowledgeable people who know Cougars inside and out including the Cougar registrar. All 1968 Cougar brochures I have seen list the 302 as the base engine. Every 68 Cougar in our club has a 302-2V minimum. I would lay odds that there are far far more 1968 Cougars with the 302 than will ever be seen with a 289 except late standard Cougars. Of course, one could log into the main Cougar Forum to find out for sure as to what I said...
