thats more than nice. Vent windows were an option but i see them more common on the 83 models.

Did anyone notice that difference in color on the passanger side recline lever cover?

wonder if the interior was not touched up with light blue spray paint.

That steering wheel shows no wear,, and its really odd the console arm rest shows none either.

Still,, thats a great looking car.  Does anyone think its worth it?

to me,, its not a 20th coug, its not burgandy inside and out.

Neither are 20th Cougars :hick:

Very nice four-eye, and I like that leather wrapped wheel, but I'm left wondering at those NADA figures he posted - since when is "Low retail" on an '86 'Bird  nearly $4k, "average retail" $8k, and "high retail" almost $12k? Did these cars suddenly become barrels of oil and start skyrocketing in value or something?

I checked out NADA and they have some issues. The numbers he posted are truely what NADA shows with high almost $12k...put the same info in for the same year Cougar...high value $4k...
 
EDIT: Priced out a '85 30th Anniversary T-bird: almost $13k high value!  The funny thing is, you can't even price out a 20th Anniversary Cougar, the used values do not go back past '88 and the collector values stop at '86, but they do have the '92 30th anniversary.
