About my Cougar

Right now. It has a #'s matching Ford 400/2v carb with C6 trans and a stock 9" with a 273 gear if my memory serve correct. Origanl Ford meduim red with half white top. Sitting on the 14" "sport" wheels. 2.25 duals through Glass packs. Runs pretty good but now sitting while I am in Iraq. Plans to upgrade just about everthing Brakes, suspension, drive line and interior. shooting for 1 to 1 hp and cubes. Planing on bigger wheels but not stupid sized. Im trying to steer it to muscle style not pimp style.

?This is to the person who left the last comment about your White on White Cougar. Have you
gotten rid of it yet and if not could you email me your info. I might know someone that might be
interested in your car. Granted there are a lot of questions that need to be answered first. My
email address is RoyaltyG@netscape.net.

Ant to the owner of the Cougar in the photos. Very nice car. The only thing is those 400 engines
are junk and boat anchors. You could make it a stroker and get more than 1 to 1 HP with the right
parts though. All in all though  a very nice 76 Cougar XR7. I owned on myself but due to rough
times had to get rid of it.

Beautiful car.  I have a white on white '76 that I've dreamed of looking like your's for 20 years; but I'm having to get rid of it now (hopefully not to the junk yard) due to tough times.
