Well! What do we have here?! πŸ€”

Don’t you love our quiet little neighborhood where this owner leaves his window open, with loose coins and sunglasses visible inside? This is on the way to the high school too, where some of the 2,400 students would walk by this car every weekday.

Then again, maybe that’s why the window is open: somebody broke it to steal something. If this is the case, my guess is that the car was open, but the miscreant still broke the window.

Crank windows, so I’m not sure it has a/c.

@ZeKik 1st gen Cougar?!?
@CFBrand3rd Sure looks that way! 😜
@ZeKik Dated a girl who owned a β€˜68. Still remember both wistfully…
@ZeKik The 80s generally sucked, but I am nostalgic for a time when you could have bought that car in that condition for next to nothing.

@Basmitharts what do you think its value is now?

The bodywork seems pretty good (this is SoCal after all), although there appears to be a very recent ding to the rear wing in my photos. 😒

@ZeKik No idea really...15k?
Probably not the crazy prices that pony cars were bringing a decade ago.
I imagine when the boomers start passing en masse there will be a ton of stuff like this on the market and prices will really drop.
@ZeKik I have never seen a car need sidepipes more in my LIFE. What a beauty.
