I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Amazing what you can fit in these cars isnt it? People have to come back and pick up tvs from my job all the time because it wont fit in there full size cars.

Trucks are over rated, give me my Cougar.

spoke to the seller a little while ago because i noticed it did not sell.

I wanted to know if it was still around because it appeared to be a good car for mason,, it sold.  Happy home with 7 other tc's.  good to know.

I wish i had not missed this one, i dont have time to hunt this stuff out.

It reminds me of the time back in 1997 I loaded my 1985 Tbird with everything I owned moving out of a studio apartment. It's so funny recalling the recliner chair I had hanging out the back! LOL!
