my 86 cougar November 13, 2006, 12:13:54 PM im new to the site. this is my first post. i just wanna show off my cougar. im the second owner. it is fully loaded with all options except power antenna and over drive. owned the car for 10 years and its till going strong. I'm not sure if this is a Bostonian Edition or a blue max because of the color. ive only seen 2 of these but one was black and the other was dark gray and silver. the car has a 3.8 v6, 98,000 miles on it, and best driving and riding car ive ever had. let me know what you think of it. thanks. Big Rongotta love the cat! :cougarsmily: Quote Selected

antenna and aod Reply #4 – November 13, 2006, 01:23:28 PM Quote from: jkirchman;113266That's crazy. Who would order everything but the antenna and the AOD tranny?i really don;t know but i'm kinda glad it don;t have overdrive . seems like overdrive go's out on the older fords . and power antennas usually quit working . but this car has one of the best sounding factory stereo for 1986 its am fm cass with equalizer 6 speakers .

When I bought my '86 I had been looking for a couple months for another TC. I kept finding Cougars but I didn't like the chopped off look in the back. But, the more I looked at them the more I started to like it. Still, I was hot for that 2.3L Turbo. Then I found an '86 XR-7 turbo in black on red leather and I was hooked. Couple months later I kept seeing '87s & '88s and liked them even better. You'd have to put a gun to my head to get me to even think about selling my '88. Even then I might just tell you to pull the trigger. :D Welcome to the boards. Quote Selected
