If money was no object I would want a Mercury Cougar 1969
Stock Settings:
428 V8 335 bhp @ 5200 rpm, 440 lb-ft @ 3400 rpm.
Performance: 428/335: 0-60 in 5.6 seconds, 1/4 mile in 14.1 seconds @ 103 mph.
Fastest Cougar out of the stock ones.
Next I would want a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS
COPO 427 V8 425bhp@5600rpm, 460lb-ft@4000rpm.
Performance: COPO 427/425: 0-60 in 5.1 sec, 1/4 mile in 13.3 sec @ 108mph.
When I get both of these cars, my collection is set :D I will beat anyone with my chevelle :D :D And also be able to drive a smooth ride in the cougar :D :D
Ok perfect because I don't care if its in bad shape..... I just need the trim with the marker so I don't get a ticket, the whole trim broke in pieces ...
Im looking for the pass. headlight trim with the marker. This is for the Mercury Cougar 1986. And Im posting a picture of what I'm talking about. The Headlights in the front on the pass. side of the car, NOT THE DRIVERS, I need the trim with the marker. It is 4 screws to take off and put on.
If someone can get bak to me quickly on this that would be great, its needed in 3-6 days.
The Auto Lamps are very easy to add. There are no wires to splice, its a modular add on to the dash harness. Now the ATC, without adding a bunch of wires you have to change the dash harness out. Its very hard to find a dash harness that provides you with what you want, but all you can do is look. I've done it myself on my 88. I used an 88 TC harness. That got me systems sentry, ATC, buttstuffog cluster and the turbo stuff, even though I can't use the turbo stuff for anything.
If I had that car, after gloating :) I would find a dash harness out of an 86 TC. It will be easy to find one with the ATC. For simplicity you have to go with a same year harness, every year connectors changed. You can modify a different year harness but that would be a PITA. Make sure you get the heater box as well. You could find a harness out of a 86 Elan, that would have what you wanted but a full digital dash, and those are cool.
Wow :D Thanks for the information, atleast I know the automatic dimmer would be a easy job lol... Hmmm I will have to look around then :D
Is adding the stock cougar fog lights a hard job?
Thanks for the comments as well guy :D My cat is gonna be legal in 2 weeks :D Then I get rid of the v6 mercury cougar 1986 and start driving the v8 :D :D.
1. The auto-dim should be an easy add-on except for there's no wiring to the sensor on the rearview mirrors on non-AL cars. So unless you're very good at wiring, or have a complete harness, this won't fly. 2. The EATC is a tough switch, but it IS doable. You will need the complete EATC setup including all of the heat ductwork. Labor intensive! (And yes, you will have to pull the dash). 3. That is easy, and there's always the dye option, though your interior is so nice you could probably sell and swap. The center console is an easy add too. 4. The EQ should plug right in, you *might* need the EQ version radio and rear amp assembly though. It's been about 5 years since I did this swap... 5. DO NOT DO IT! Ford factory moonroofs use a completely different stamped roof panel AND under-roof structure. You *will* have to cut your entire roof off to do it right. Cheesy aftermarket pop-ups are just that, CHEESY!
My honest opinion? You did GREAT. It's a nice car, with a good set of options (enjoy those vent windows!), that's ready to go. Doing wheels and tires and engine mods are all great, easy, and done before so you have a good knowledge base. Trying to hack the car up is a big fat NO!
If you truely want an EATC/AL/moonroof car, then go BUY one. A nice factory one with all the options and colors YOU want already DONE. It makes life a LOT easier AND cheaper.
I would enjoy the heck out of that Cougar whilst saving up, and then buying the truley optioned/colored one of my dreams.
Yea Im not gonna put in the aftermarket Sun roof because its really not worth killing the body of its original state. And I was told that the Automatic AC was junk so Im not gonna do that.. but I wanna add the flood lights and try to get the light panel completed...
Thanks for the welcomes, comments, and information :D
Yea but right now its missing a hub cab, didn't know it had saftly screws to hold the hub cabs on and it broke into two pieces... So I need to buy another one that is as mint as them :D and I forgot to mention it only has 80k miles on it.
P.S. Im liking your Darkthunder, I was thinking of repainting mine all black with a white stripe in the middle...
I got my dash Speakers out no problem by just poping it out from the top and man was a I careful , my next problem was that the speaker shop had no speaker to fit in it tho LOL...
I haven seen any cougars from around my year around where I live but is there anyone here who would want to set up a event and all meet for a drive :D.
I'm new here so I thought I'd post up the pictures of my cougar. I just bought it about 4 months ago and its been sitting in my driveway, I bring it out "legally" around the block 1st a week so it doesn't get that sit rot.. I also have a Mercury Cougar 1986 which is my daily driver, but due to me being low on cash Im gonna have to sell the v6 and start driving the v8 as my daily driver....
I love the v8 it has great power for the stock engine lol, if you see a burn out from the driveway off thru the grass and off the curb, then 3 telephone poles down it wasn't me :P. I wanted to drop a 351 W into it and make it a 5 speed. I won't probally do this till 3-5 years tho because I won't have the money till then. But till then I wanna just add the not engine stuff :p.
A list of things I want to get for the car...
- I wanna get the auto Dim and the Auto Lamp. * Also the flood Lights * - I wanna get the automatic Temperature control ( ATC) system - I wanna see if theres a mint full set of the black or smoke Interior, I would also need the center consule which was used for the man. cars because when I add a stick with the current center consule it can move and hit the shifter when you move the seats up.... - Another Option Im gonna be looking for is the Graphic Equalizer - Something IM debating is weather or not to add a sun roof, I think it would be a great addition to go with the vented windows only thing is, how big of a job is it truely :P.
Then in 3-5 years I plan to drop the 302 and put in a 351 W and gonna keep it a EFI. Im gonna make a exhaut system where you will be able to switch to a legal way, or when you are racing someone u flip the switch and it will switch it to the straight pipes. The car will have some "legal" Stuff on it, but its gonna be in the future my sunday summer car :-p.
Any ideas or comments I can do with this car or what I'm planning to do ? Or if u can find me these parts lol...
