The recent sale of the first privately owned pre-production Mustang got me thinking about Cougar 1. A beautiful car with an awesome story and loads of documentation. I saw Cougar 1 at the Ford Nationals in Carlisle, PA a few years back. I had a great conversation with Jim Pinkerton, a great guy. At the time Cougar 1 was for sale for $330,000. Its still for sale but the price is now $410,000. At that time, Jim told me he was in no hurry to sell. The sale of Mustang 100002 at $175,000 is probably going to make Jim wait bit longer at his current asking price. I have to be honest though, If I was given the choice between Mustang 100002 and the Cougar 1, I'd probably take the Cougar.
The Cougar 1 site is a good read for those not familiar with the car... https://cougar-1.com (https://cougar-1.com)

I've heard that Jim has had offers in the neighborhood of his asking price, but has turned them down because he doesn't want the car to be shuttered away in a collection, never to be seen again. He wants the car to be shown, as he does now.
