Bud Moore Cougar

[65slotcar]

Hello  Group,  it has been a couple   years since my last post.  busy with my 1/1  scale cars but now im back at the hobby table.   Many projects i want to finish but couldn't help starting a new project.  i found decals for this Bud Moore Cougar  that i believe  ran in a Nascar GT  series. Don't know much of the history of the car, maybe someone here does.    So the old Cougar kit came with a basic  false engine compartment with no shock towers. So i chopped out engine compartment and front suspension clip from a revell/ monogram  65 shelby mustang.  wheels  and tires from  Plastic Performance Products.                    Bill

You are off to a good start. I'd try to find some pictures with the hood up.

Tiny Lund ran a similar class Camaro. Bobby Allison had a Mustang.

I like what you’re doing with this. Thank you for the ride along. The 1:1 car is a looker.

i just  can't  find any info or pictures about this car.  The  Trans Am  Mustang of that same year  ran a 2- 4 barrel  intake on a small block 289.  that would look cool !

I hope you guys realize this is Paul "Lil Bud" Moore the driver, not the car owner with this Cougar.  

He was competing in the Grand Americans in NASCAR, the owner was Bob Wilson

Bud Moore the car owner also fielded Mustangs very successfully in this series. Gave him an advantage in Nascar with the knowledge he gained running small block engines.
