lmao, ok i changed the title, I guess you could take that as an abbreviation of a speed control lol. I was asking about the car

It's not any one particual model, as it has had some upgrades. It appears to be one of the first cougars, however it has short front shocks (I think the first ones came with long shocks?), a later rear bulkhead, and the later 2.2 inch rims. Otherwise it is pretty stock. -Jeff

Thanks, Are parts interchangeable with the Cougars (Rear Bulkhead), The deal also comes with a box of parts, almost enough to build another car.

Most of that series of cars parts are interchangeable in that regard. However, most of the parts were changed over time to make them more robust and better suited for racing/ abuse. The rear bulkhead in the picture is a later version with several camber locations, and two verticle ribs for strengthening. The earlier version had two camber locations, and were prone to breaking in hard rollovers and crashes. -Jeff

Thanks Jeff

The alloy pan is that of the Topcat/Cougar as can be seen by the holes where the laydown shocks used to mount to the chassis. By the time Cougar2 chassis were around im almost certain these holes were deleted.

Rear bulkhead is ofcourse Cougar2 as are the 2.2" Aerodisc rims. Would be a good vintage runner for sure.
