1967 - 1967 Cougar XR7 Wanted

[PrettyMuchAShelbyGuy]

Hi folks-  Have been away for a while..  Slightly off topic, but looking for a bit of a referral/reference please.  Have my eye open for a 67 or 68 XR7, 289/302, prefer a 4bbl; but a 2bbl would work, with a 3 speed automatic, AC is a must-have in the DFW area.  Prefer bucket seats, not a bench.  All original/not model/resto-modded.  Just not much I can find locally (DFW area) right now. Would prefer a running/driving car.  Going a slightly different direction, would also consider a Bud Moore/Dan Gurney 'replica' Cougar if at least reasonably cosmetically accurate; auto/4 speed/5 speed is fine. Really don't want a project.  Too old now for that!  Appreciate any leads.

Thanks guy's...  I have scoured Hemmings for over a year now as well as the other Cougar sites listed.  Racing-Junk, and others.  Nothing I need or want - moistly trashed out cars, or rest-modded all to hell.  Also about a dozen other sites - literally go through on a daily basis.  Really disappointing.

In my opinion, the best thing you can do is go ahead and join a local Cougar club if there is one near you and the Cougar Club of America.

Being active and socializing among fellow Cougar enthusiasts is a great way to hear about cars before they even hit the market.

Attending some of the upcoming shows would be good too -

Carlisle and a big show in Auburn have already happened -

My club (the Delmarva Cougar Club) along with the Cougar Club of NJ/PA and the Cougar Club of New England will be hosting a National convention in Pennsylvania sometime next year - probably late summer early fall.

BigBlock, thank you...  I had not seen that site before, but had seem most of the cars.  Most are modded, and IMO, way over priced.  I either want to do a 67 Dan Gurney/Bud More Replica or find a nice clean OEM 67/68 XR7...

Phillip-  Thank you. I have joined a few of the clubs, and browse all their forums.  I am disappointed by what's trading.  I may end up just doing a 67 Shelby notchback replica...
