Spotted this on the Internet the other day, sharing just for fun.

Wow, I remember that ad when it was new. Also laughed at the fact....the car has all white-wall tires! LOL.

I don't know crap about cougars (cars & women), but I was in a junk yard in the 80s & there was a 68 S code 390  there, sans eng. & trans, that had a hole in the hood with a trim ring around the hole much like a shaker has. did they make anything like that or did someone home brew it? It always bugged me I didn't scarf up that hood. The ring had all the right contours for the hood.

No Cougar expert here (except for older blondes who always drive a silver Mercedes....wink!) but I don't believe Mercury ever made a shaker type hood/scoop ala' the Mustang.

'Course now that I said that......

btw, those 2-legged cougars I can pick out of a crowded bar/restaurant in a heart beat. They may have money but gosh they have enough crow's feet for a hundred birds! Hah!

I assume that was the replacement for the 390HP W-code juice-lifter 427?  I had a California '67 S-code Mustang GT and those tubes on the heads for the Thermactor emissions system made an already tough spark plug change an order of magnitude more difficult!  Just getting the plug boots off was a bummer... but where there's a will there's a way.
