    Features

    • Watch for the Presidential Limo In 2016 – The Cougar will turn 50 in the Fall of 2016, and new CCOA President Gavin Schlesinger is already planning the celebration, all the while behind the wheel of his daily driver 1968 XR7-G.
    • Long Way From Home – This Cougar traveled 12,000 miles from its birthplace in Dearborn, Michigan to its first home in Exmouth, on Australia’s West Coast. It has lived all 48 years Down Under. LCM editor Rich Truesdell talks with owner Mike Merema and tells its almost-impossible-to-believe story.
    • No More Lazy Eyes – Bill Basore explains how you can replace your original vacuum-operated headlight doors with a modern electronic alternative with plug-and-play simplicity.
    • Better the Second Time Around – Cougars are in Sharon Osborne’s blood; her first was raced back in the 1980s. Twenty years later, along came her second, and like her first, it sees time at the track. Sharon tells LCM‘s Rich Truesdell their improbably stories.
    • Team Cougar: Mercury Goes Racing – In 1966, success of the new Cougar was anything but guaranteed. A history of near misses and outright failures had everyone at Mercury on edge. If you want to sell on Monday, you have to win on Sunday. Could the new Mercury Cougar meet the challenge? LCM‘s Bill Basore revisits this chapter of the Cougar’s competition history.

    Regulars

    • Cat Tracks – Co-editor Bill Basore asks LCM’s readers what they want to see in the magazine. What’s your opinion, especially on featuring resto-mod or modified cars?
    • Event Coverage – CCOA President Gavin Schlesinger along with photographers Luigi Dioniso and Andrew Chenovick provide coverage of the 2015 CCOA West Coast Regionals where almost 100 classic Cougars and their owners enjoyed the company of their fellow enthusiasts.
    • Cougar Marketplace – While most of the collector-car world will be focused on the auctions on the Monterey Peninsula, the attention of Cougar fans will be focused on the other side of the country as an original 4-speed GT-E will cross the block at the Owls Head Transportation Museum.
    • Cougar Collectibles – Recreate Cougar Trans Am racing history in your game room or man cave with 1/32nd scale slot cars from Scalextric and Pioneer.

    WCCC hooked me up with an original glove box cable and the correct screws WITH shoulders for my glove box. Their listing for these screws explains that the original screws have a shoulder for the cable and most people put in the wrong screws--which...

    I have been a cougar owner for just shy of 30 years, I have been dealing with part problems for a very long time. The people at WCCC have always be honest, and overly helpfull. I now have a 1970 XR-7 mostly rebuilt, and my son has a 1968 base...

    What did you LIKE about your experience? * : I am fairly new to WCCC, four or five orders (at the time of writing), but I am blessed to have found WCCC for sure. I had a small problem, couldn't find anything to work for the condensation drain on my...

    I have been working with Don Rush and his team for close to 20 years. In all of these years with many sales transactions I can say they have been 2nd to none. They have always been not only helpful but extremely knowledgeable. I certainly continue...

    I have made many purchases online with WCCC but chose this time to make a 1400 mile round trip and visited them in person. I brought a van load of parts with me that needed a home. Don helped unload them then quickly assessed the value which I...

    I liked that I could see a picture of parts and that you could type in what you were looking for. What was handy for me was the ability to chat with Darrell. He was a big help. Also high on the you gotta keep on staff was Joshua, I had some issues...

    I was having difficulty placing my order on the website and spent a couple of hours trying with no luck (ending in immense frustration). I decided to finally just call and order my parts over the phone (4 small items). Was surprised that Don Rush...

    Brake booster failed on our 1970 Mach1. We had ordered a new 2022 Mach1 to match the old one and the dealer wanted to use both cars in a promotional ad. When we received the replacement booster it failed within a few minutes of installation. I...

    WCCC makes finding the right part with the right fit easy. I love that they try to get great parts and when there are parts that don't meet their standard they WARN you up front! I've bought new reproduction parts from them, used parts and even had...
