Reviving and ripping apart this Grandpa V8 Sleeper!!! RIP Mercury
This video is the premier of the Cougar build! You see me retrieve this car from my brother's house where it broke down, get it running again, do a burnout, weigh the car, and get base line information prior to our upgrades!! Tons more to come as I am extremely excited to build this one! Fun fact, my very first car in high school was a 1997 Mercury Cougar. Stay tuned for all the little, but very important and intricate details I do to make this the car that Ford should have let Mercury make!

In this episode I repair some minor problems with the junk yard find F100. The truck has been on a few cruises and even a car meet already!! Too cool! I am still planning on selling the truck to fund a separate storage building to get some cars out of the weather. One you haven't seen yet was nearly in a tornado on 5/10! More to come on that lol

I built a mobile cherry picker off the back of my 70's Sears Suburban garden tractor. I used a Harbor Freight cherry picker I got off market place and an ATV winch I had on a mower with a plow. Hopefully I'll be able to put this puppy to work! Follow for more updates: hartwickperformance

On this episode of HP, you see me finally get to the Sears Suburban garden tractor I found in a junk yard over 2 years ago to use as a donor for the new V8 mower. I fell in love with it and decided it needed a second chance at life. I look forward to making more videos on it and to show the implements and attachments they can have. Thank you for watching!

    Love the car! For some reason, some folks like to hate on these cars and forget that while the Mustang ll was based on Ford's economy car (the Pinto), it was actually true to the same formula used for the original Mustang which was based on Ford's econo-car of that era, the Falcon. Great find dude! Enjoy!

    Back in about 1985, my best friend and I were car shopping for him. He was looking for a Mustang. I discovered the local Ford dealer had an incredibly well kept King Cobra (red in color) that had just been traded in on a new Mustang. Very low mile as well. We went and checked it out and it was completely flawless in every respect. I was totally drooling over it, begging my friend to buy it. He hated it and ended up buying a 1979 Turbo Mustang with a manual transmission. At least I got to drive the King Cobra for a little while during the test drive. Cool car you got there.

    Cool car kid, you seem pretty happy n proud, survivors are really rare now. When i was like 8 or 9 there was a 76 nova SS that used to drive by my grand parents i thought it was super cool it was loud, jacked up , 14" aluminum slotted mags, 60 series tires and custom ss stripes on the hood n trunk. The car was only a few years old, any way i grew up forgot about it then in my mid 20s (1995ish) i made a trade for money and a nova for my really sweet 85 z28, so i go to look at the nova an when i pulled in i said hey is that big eds wife's old nova? Yup, I thought it was cool as hell the car i would hear then run out to the road to watch go by was mine now. That thing was a burnout machine! Supposedly the sheriff's dept had so many complaints of burn outs they were all looking for me I was told when I got pinched doing a burnout.

    🇺🇸👍 Good luck with your King Cobra 🐍. I own a 76 V6 4 speed, and a 77 V6 automatic. I also own a 2016 V6 Mustang automatic since new and owned an early model 65 K code 4 speed, AC, PS, but sold it after 15 years BIG MISTAKE. Yours will be a money pit for awhile, but you’re starting off with really good bones and only 39K on it. Enjoy it maybe you’ll hand it down to one of your kids later in life.
