My coming out pics after 14 yrs. LOL

Ive always liked Cougars,  My first car was a 81 XR7, yea sorta ugly.  Next was 85 LS-5.0. 

Both are long gone. 

14 years later I return to the pack with this................













If anyone can link these to show up without clicking, that would be great.  I suck at computers and photos.

Thanks man, it has a few dents and scratches, but overall a very nice car and totally rust free.  Hard to imagine, and find around here.

Yea, I knew the asking price, so I thought Id go take a look just for the heck of it.  I needed another car like a hole in the head.  Once I saw it.......... well, the rest is history.  I hope she holds together for me, little worried about the AOD-shes acting a little "funny".

Eventually Ill be doing the HO swap and maybe a few other little things. 

On a side note, this thing is so much more pleasant to drive than my 82 and 84 mustangs.

That is a nice Cougar. I'm really, really liking it. Nice find, especially in the rust belt.

Very nice find, congrats. I also returned to the Fox Tbird/Cougar from after selling the 86 Bird and owning a few Mustangs. I really missed the ride and looks of these cars. Congrats again on a nice find.

Coherent...as in, the car has a nice, consistent paint condition. Again, that's kind of rare nowadays. No offense meant. ;)

It isnt the cleanest engine bay, but it doesnt look TOO bad.

What do you all think???
