Customer Cars-Not a Mustang, but...

We know that it is not a Mustang, but we thought that we would post the pictures and story anyway. These were sent to us by Steve Boeh at Eastgate Motorcars.
This is the note that Steve sent to us:

Here are a few pictures of the Cougar that I told you about. There are a ton of parts on this car that came from Virginia Classic Mustang. You have the best Mustang parts place around. Thanks, Steve Boeh-Eastgate Motorcars.

It is a 1972 Cougar XR7 Convertible. 351 Cobra Jet, C6 Automatic, Air, AM/FM stereo, tilt wheel, console. The car originally came from Oakland, CA and spent it's entire life out west. The 2nd owner was driving the car to college in Florida and ran out of money in Cincinnati, OH. He advertised it in the local paper, and I immediately bought it. It underwent an extensive restoration over the next 2 years. In 2006, I decided to "re-restore" it and that is how I discovered your company. As you know many Mustang parts interchange with Cougars. What I could not find NOS on e-bay, I looked for on your web site. I am just putting the finishing touch on the job which consisted of: new convertible top, all new glass, new white leather interior, carpet, door panels etc., new dash pad, new plastic-chrome on the dash bezel, complete restoration of the engine compartment with either NOS parts or high quality reproductions, complete new suspension front and rear, new wheels, tires, exhaust, drive shaft, etc., all exterior bright trim re-chromed including bumpers. I bought a ton of concours correct fasteners from you.
