Response to Cool, but.....

Put a Mr Yuk sticker on that orange engine and the 8 lug gold painted white spokes. The body is interesting because there probably weren't a lot of Cougars...one missing one was the 67 Cougar funnycar Gary Wanless of Vancouver built. It was steel quarters and roof. It also used parts of his old Thunderbolt.

Some interesting stuff on that site... gotta love the "updated in 01" notes too... I think the Shirley Muldowney Mustang was the car i'd see at Bremerton all the time with a 460 called Froggy II.

Currently residing in Texas is Shirley Muldowney's ex-Connie Kalitta 1971 Mustang flopper which carried Cha-Cha to her first ever national event win at the 71 IHRA Southern Nationals. Car appeared for sale in Aug 13, 1971 issue of National Dragster with the caption "6.82, 219 with a woman driver... think of what you can do with it!" Car later disappeared to the northwest and was run as a bracket racer before being purchased by current owner in mid-90s. Car is undergoing restoration... and rumor has the car for sale.
