Cougar was way above the other '67 pony cars.....check out the Consumer Reports tests from back in '67..they report that they have never seen such a difference between the top rated car, the cougar, and the lowest rated, the camaro/firebird. They also said that the cougar was the only one that could be called a 'sports car' by any measure, and that the interior(seats, specifically), rated second only to the Corvettes'. They also noted that the mustang & barracuda were well matched.
@adape0884frank It was, essentially, a Mustang with a different sheet metal treatment. Most of the chassis parts interchange, despite different part numbers. Few of the body parts interchange. I owned a new 1967 Cougar, back in the day...
Hey it does look like a replica if only they would continue making them today man I bet everyone would be very flattered to have an interest in buying one again.
I wonder what the 427 GT/E got for gas mileage? Like Jay Leno says...it's a hybrid. In the city, it runs on gas. On thei highway, it uses MORE GAS...LOL But it's still a great muscle car...
