Specialty Cougar rims August 17, 2006, 09:24:46 PM 1984 Mercury : CougarQuote from: '84 Mercury Cougar with lots of updates. Brand new CD player with AM/FM stereo and new speakers. Brand new tires on the specialty Cougar rims [SIZE="4"](Rims were $500 each)[/SIZE] . Brand new brakes ($1,000 worth). Has very recent oil change, tune up w/ new spark plugs & wires, radiator flush, new transmission fluid & filter, new belts & hoses, and new carburator. New fuel tank, filters, lines and pumps. [/I]Those look like regular D holes with the cougar head center caps. If he paid $500 each for those rims I will sell mine now. Quote Selected

Specialty Cougar rims Reply #10 – August 18, 2006, 10:22:27 AM My 84 5.0 has CFI so maybe, but I still don't think so. He's just milking it for every cent to make it worth more Quote Selected
