Not sure but some or many of the parts may have been the same on the same year Cougars with power ventilation.  If so, you might want to expend your search to West Coast Classic Cougar.

All three SOLD

Original wires may have been replaced at some point without attention to using the same color or guage wires ?

Sale pending on all three.

Cleaning house and looking to find a new home for these three models - Monogram 66 GT 350, AMT 67 GT 350 and AMT 68 GT 500.  All new and still wrapped in original plastic.  Asking $15 each + the ride which I expect would be about $10-12 each.  Let me know by PM or email if you have questions or are interested in one or more.  John

It's hard to believe how many cool cars I've seen in New Zealand the last three weeks.  Late this morning my wife suggested we stop for a coffee at this neat looking place called the Wrinkly Rams in a tiny town called Omarama, population 291 in the middle of nowhere.  A few minutes after we park in comes 57 high performance cars.  Not a club outing.  Turns out it's just a bunch of performance car people who have met up over the years and once a year they do a 2 day tour,  This weekend its the Damn run - 1,160 kms visiting a bunch of dams and staying overnight at Dunedin.  No Mustangs or real Shelbys. Most of the cars were current vintage Porsches, Ferraris, Audis, Mercedes AMGs, Aston Martins, BMWs, a Peugeot, an Alpha Romeo, a couple of Camaros, etc. etc. , a few classics, and these two replicas.  Both were built here in New Zealand by different shops in different cities.  The GT 40 was built in Dunedin.  I think the Cobra owner said his was built in Christchurch.  The Cobra had a 302 in it, the GT 40 a 351 W.  Best coffee stop I've had in a long time!   

OK, so we all know about the Boss 302 and the Boss 429.  Who has heard of the Ford Boss 290?  Yes its a real thing, made in Australia about 15 years ago, and this one is parked in our hotel parking lot here in Nelson NZ.  See this link for details: https://www.motortrend.com/news/mmfp-0605-ford-fpv-boss-290-gtp/

Saw this parked across the road from where we are staying today in Nelson NZ.  Have also seen several late model Mustang GT's on the roads since we got to New Zealand 12 days ago.  Did not expect to trip over as many of these cars over here.   

Very possible if you are going down hill most of the time - therefore the "up to" preface. 

Beautiful area - lots of outdoors stuff to do, great downtown restaurants...  Just starting to get into their busier tourist season as the warmer weather is coming back.

And if you are wondering what year it is. 

Spotted this afternoon in downtown Rotorura, New Zealand where we are currently on vacation.  No one was around at the time.  Given the nice bow on the front of the car, I expect this beauty got a new owner today.

Just looked at the letters / numbers on my main case and tail housing.  I assume the casting date on the main case is just to the right of the W-1, which is under WO  DIV.  It's small and very hard to make out but it appears to be *  6 1  *

Sorry for the misunderstanding.  I'm out of town for a few days and won't have a chance to have a look for the casting date until some time later next week.  I'll let you know when I get to it.

Tomdeg - Further to my post earlier in this thread dated July 2019, for 6S1575 the T-10 main housing date is C 162 or March 1, 66 and tail housing is K 15 65 or November 15, 65.  Both cast iron.  John
