'68 Cougar with 302 2v and automatic transmission... bought it for $1600 in spring of '72 with 36K on it. I don't have a pic of it scanned, but it was a very pale sky blue with a black vinyl top... looking much like this one, but I put blackwalls on it, and it didn't have those door protector strips.

Autocrossed it, too... on bias-ply tires. I just took the hubcaps off and went out there and had a blast.

Drove it to Road Atlanta several times in the early to mid-70's to the runoffs and CanAm... drove around those unpaved infield roads to watch from different parts of the track. Got stuck a few times, too when it was a rainy weekend... but there were always volunteers who helped get her moving again. It looked great with red mud slung all over the sides.
