This is the show that people have been waiting for, because it’s finally time to take the mighty V8 Interceptor for a rip down the road! But first, we walk you through everything that went into this massive, ground up build and showcase all the details of building a one-of-a-kind, level 5 project. After that, it’s on to the test drive, that just gets crazier and crazier when a surprise visitor from Mayberry shows up and tries to set us straight! It’s a car like you’ve never seen, with a payoff you could never imagine... and it’s only on Gearz!

No fake drama just some light hearted humour that absolutely contributed to this episode.

One more excellent build and inspiration to continue our beloved hobby/culture.

_I'm so glad people are starting to bring Cougars into the light. I'm a huge fan of Cougar have been for all my life, and I have restored many and sold many throughout the years. She looks just like the two 68s' I had, without the Hitech mods. Jet black on black. She is beautiful! 67, 68, 69s' and some 70s Cougars are the coolest!_

Is it odd that I’ve always liked the Cougar more than the mustang, I’ve had a 93’ XR7 and an 89’ 5.0LX. Wish I could’ve had the motor and drive train from the mustang and put it into the XR7, but I traded the cougar for the mustang back in my early 20’s

While the ending was somewhat funny, I've seen in real life where a municipality did take a citizen's vehicle, remove the engine and install it in a law enforcement car. The poetic justice is that the officer that was assigned the car wrecked it in less than 3 months.

I've long planned on getting a '67 or '68 Mercury Cougar to restomod... once I win the lottery. I want to update everything that you can't see on the exterior to ride and drive like a modern car. I am self-aware enough to know I couldn't handle 850 horsepower. I'd settle for putting in a new Coyote and live with the 460 HP and 420 lb-ft of torque. The first-gen Cougar has always looked elegant and like nothing else on the road.
