I think technically they're considered sedans because of the presence of the frame around the door window and the B-pillar.  To be a couple the car must only have the pillar at the front windshield and the rear window.

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.

The 1983-88 Cougar/Thunderbirds are considered 2-door hardtops. In America a 'hardtop' is usually meant for a vehicle whose small side windows retract, in effect eliminating the B-pillar when all the windows are down. In every publication I've ever seen, though, including Ford's own shop manuals, our cars are listed as 2-door hardtops. But technically they are coupes since they have 2 doors, and you have to fold the seats for rear seat entry/exit.
