Title: New here, wanted to say hey
Post by: 19TbirdSC91 on April 24, 2009, 02:10:58 AM
As the title states, I'm new here, but have been on the SCCOA for quite some time.  I'm looking at a 1986 Thunderbird with a 351W with a 4 speed at the moment.  Currently have a 1990 35th anniversary Supercoupe.  Used to have a '87 Cougar 20th anniversary, but ended up wrecking it.  Here are a couple of pictures of the two cars, unfortunately only pictures I have of the cougar are post-wreck.  Thanks for looking, and I hope I can find some good info here!

Welcome to the forum! Good to see another person on here that enjoys a SC'd V6 car. Sounds like you have an interesting Fox cat to put into your garage. What are you waiting for!!!

Welcome aboard. when was it wrecked?
Title: New here, wanted to say hey
Post by: 19TbirdSC91 on April 24, 2009, 11:02:09 AM
wow, thanks for all the friendly welcomes!  The wrecked cougar was a result of two elderly people running a red light.  I was going 50 when I hit them so you are correct.  They both ended up passing away from the accident and I escaped with only a broken wrist:(.

EDIT: The car was actually wrecked almost 3 years ago, (June 29, 2006) but boy do I ever miss it!

I really want to get ahold of that 86 with the 351 in it, I love the MN12 chassis, but there is something about the foxes that I love as well, especially with that big of a motor.

Here is the mod list for the SC:

Ported early blower with 10% overdrive, port-matched inlet plenum and 70mm TB, 76mm MAF, 3" cold air intake, removed air silencer, underdrive pullies, lightweight jackshaft, intercooler fan, ARP head studs, Magnaflow Resonator/no lers/no cats/V6 Mustang headers (tubular), B&M Ripper short throw, Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch, BHJ Balancer (more to come as well)

Very nice, I had a buddy that had a 91 SC, pretty cool cars, the M90 is a pretty good blower. You'll feel right at home on this forum. How much is he asking for the Cougar?

Welcome to the forum Sean, Nice looking SC and a 35th anniversary as well. Always wanted a TC or a SC(just bought a Turbo Cougar so that will have to do for now). I think your car would look right at home in my garage, I have a few 10th anniversary Birds here along with a 25th silver anniversary box fox.

Yeah, the SC's are absolute torque monsters, its insane, my car will go sideways at 40 mph.  As for the cougar, he only wants $2500 for it, right now its flat black, needs paint, but I kinda like the flat black at the same time.

Buy it, buy it now you silly man! What are you waiting for! Talk him down a bit it probably isn't worth quite that much. I would see if you can go and take a look at it, take some pictures if you can. Lots of the guys on here are very helpful and will tell you what to look for, I do know that the strut towers tend to get a little rotten in some cases so its always good to look.

You get the hang of it eventually, I can have the blower off in about 5 min, after that, its not so bad to work on.

Welcome!! My wife drives an MN12 Bird (1994) as a DD. Unfortunately, it's a 180K 3.8 car with lots of rust. Too bad they can't all look like yours!!
