About Me
Welcome!
I've owned my Cougar for over 20
years, and I've fixed just about everything on it. My goal for this
website is to help answer the questions I've been asked over the years.
The Internet is a great resource, I wish I'd had it when I got the car!
I live in central Virginia, so the vendors mentioned will be ones I'm
familiar with.

The question asked most often is:
How do I fix my car? I can't answer everyone's questions, so I try to
point people in the right direction. There are some very good resources
on the Internet. The best, most interactive resource is the Classic
Cougar mailing list. See the link on the left? There are some very
knowledgeable people on the list, and they are always willing to help
figure out problems.
Find a local Cougar Club
If you're new to repairing/restoring classic cars, your best bet is to
find a local Cougar club. There are clubs in just about every area of
North America and a few clubs overseas. These are great for help
finding parts, recommending local repair shops and sometimes a helping
hand. Check the Cougar Club of America link on the left to find a local
club.
Sequential Taillight problems:
The sequential taillights are one of the unique things about
Cougars, but they share some parts with Thunderbirds of the same time.
Most parts are available, and there are also electronic
replacement units available. Vic Yarberry at Cougars
Unlimited
has parts and a trouble shooting guide. I have an electronic unit in my car now, I bought it from Vic. Vic also races a 67
Cougar in vintage races, and knows a lot about Cougar suspensions.
