a 1967 Cougar... Just like the one in the picture. I put a glasspack muffler on it, a great stereo and drove it for a few months when the engine blew. My Dad took it to the dealership where it was purchased (he was friends with G/M) and they split the cost of a new short block for the car. Got the car back and drove it for another couple of months when the tranny went. Again returned the car and traded for a brand new Pinto.... Which was a HUGE let down.. I didn't buy another used car after that fiasco until just recently when I bought my 2013 Scion.
