Checking in from AZ

Just joined the site.  Just bought this baby.  '86 302 80k original mile Cougar from the original family that bought it.  Still assessing what I have but looks good so far.  Just wanted to say hi from Phoenix.

That's nice.

Here's what I'd do if she were mine: body color mirrors, grille, and headlight buckets, along with some turbines, or probably ten holes...
more pics, too!

Thanks for the welcomes!  Yes, it is in great shape.  Only issue with it I have found is the dreaded fuel gauge not working.

With a nice white car like that....black out the mirrors, grille, and headlight buckets.  Then after that pretty much any wheel would be an improvement...

Super nice cat....some pictures of the interior would be great.
