This image was originally posted on the Facebook page of Hatton’s House of Crazy paint. This is the 1967 Mercury Cougar of Wayne Gapp.
It’s hard to see how good this car looked in B/W but it was a pretty sharp looking ride if you ask me.

1965 Comet Cyclone…with fuel injection
Most of the pictures of the 1965 Comet Cyclone show it with a small popup hood scoop and carburetors.
The image below shows the exterior setup (along with my Dad and brother)
Also see here for a shot of the engine setup.
In the image below the vehicle has a fuel injection unit on it. More than likely this was testing for the combination that would run in the 1967 Cougar called ‘Super Cat’.

I’ve I’ve had a few scans lying around of the Super Cat showing the construction of the vehicle. The vehicle built was done by my Dad in my parents garage in Inkster.
