Discussion:

The Nitty Gritty Kitty (NGK) is derived from the 1969 Custom Cougar casting.



Nitty Gritty Kitty

To create the Nitty Gritty Kitty, the HK Custom Cougar was modified with a big blown V8 engine, a front air dam
and a rear spoiler. The wheels are large in the rear and medium in front. Most NGK's have bearing type wheels.
The Nitty Gritty Kitty came with a waterslide decal sheet for customizing the car with sponsor logos.

HK Custom Cougar vs. Nitty Gritty Kitty

The base of the NGK varies significantly from the Custom Cougar. Both the air dam and spoiler are part of the base casting.
