Reply to "427 tunnel port / 1972"

Wow! Great advice and intelligently spoken! I am amazed I am getting as many hits on the counter as I am considering my blatant errors, actually more hits than the 68 Cougar I have listed currently. Probably due to this and the other Pantera boards clicking onto the link. I actually do have receipts for about $200k, dyno charts, detailed list of every part in it down to the brand of headlights. Dennis Quella oversaw the project and his bills alone tally into the tens of thousands of dollars. I think the biggest factor in the $200k figure is that the previous owner of many years paid to have all this work done (sometimes 3x over before it was done to his liking). Much of the technology he paid huge for long ago (like radar detector and sound system) is now worthless. Part of my reason for offering it without the motor is that the new aluminum blocks and heads now available seem much more suited for this ride than the cast iron and me being a 1968 GTE-427 Cougar fanatic makes this motor worth more to me than the average guy... Keep laying these well thought out suggestions on me and if I am forced to relist it I will be able to write a much more coherant ad. BTW I would be thrilled to get $50k (ish) for this, cannot see it doing six figures but I am flattered to hear you throw that figure into the mix! Don Rush www.classic-cougar.com
