Since everyones definition of "concourse" is different I have to ask what is the engine code in the VIN of this car?Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

I know there's an exception to every rule but I don't believe the high performance 289 was ever put in a Cougar and never put in any Ford product with an automatic. I would check it closely. Good luck!

Sister had one brand new came with the 390 but auto .
Following ebay alot i looked at some clean bodied but not restored pull in the 3k area . I also never heard of a K code being avail in a Cougar just the Mustangs . But if it was super clean bottom to top and restored i would guess 10 to 15k but thats guessing not seeing the car . Restored is also to me all new components , suspension , interior and rebuilt drive line .

For the record, the 67 Cougar had a very limited (so as not to detract from the Mustang line up) drivetrain offering. 289 2V and an ultra rare 390 4V for the 67 model year only. Sorry, no factory "K" code in the Cougar for 67.
As I stated before "everyones definition of "concourse" is different" Still curious to see pics and the door dataplate and VIN codes.Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

The 67 Cats had 3 engine options. 289 2 bbl 200hp vin C, 289 4 bbl 225 hp vin A, and the 390 4 bbl 320hp vin S. There are some really good Cougar forums out there. I'm a newb with mine and these cars and have learned a lot.
www.mercurycougar.net is a great site for info. Nice guys and forum.
Sounds like a nice car you bud has. No stock hipo 289 tho unless it's aftermaket.
Mr Mustang (Bill) just wanted to say congrats with the new bizz venture. Wish you the very best with it! Where is it located? I might need your services someday if your not to far away now.

NO 289 HO Thats why I wanted him to explain that engine. The " K "in Mercury's does not mean Hi Po as does say in a Fairlane or Ford product
Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
