Pic of my first Cougar! February 02, 2005, 09:11:29 PM During a recent junkyard jaunt I found this little gem! $300 And it was mine. Me and blu84302 towed it home with his T-bird. It was crazy fun! The car is an 88 Cougar Special Edition. Its White with the Porno Red interior! It has a 3.8 in it now but soon it will be a 5.0. Hopfully before cat jam. When we got the car home we were amazed that it fired right up! It ran like it had a bad headgasket. After I ran a compresion test I discovered this to be false! New cap and rotor and fresh plugs and she purrs like the kitten she is! For now atleast..... Quote Selected

I can't wait to beat your car when we race though. :Danyway. It's really cool, that you've gone fox on us. Quote Selected

Re: Pic of my first Cougar! Reply #6 – February 03, 2005, 03:10:25 PM Hey Claude, I was just noticing...do you have any grey stripes on the lower part of your car? It's hard to tell in the photos. Also, you should have a black antenna if it's not power...I've only seen black antennas on XR7's and the Max/SE package cars. Quote Selected
Re: Pic of my first Cougar! Reply #7 – February 03, 2005, 10:13:00 PM well i must of been special cuz mine had the gold lower striping and gold trim on the trim panels. Quote Selected
Re: Pic of my first Cougar! Reply #8 – February 04, 2005, 03:05:56 AM Yes Eric it does.... And it has a black antenna. Also one thing that looks to be differn't but may not be... the mirrors are chrome but they arn't chrome all the way to the body. There is a black ribbed section there.... Quote Selected
Re: Pic of my first Cougar! Reply #9 – February 04, 2005, 10:38:02 AM Black ribbed section is normal for all '87 and '88 Cougars. Quote Selected
Re: Pic of my first Cougar! Reply #10 – February 04, 2005, 09:07:20 PM hmm, I thought I saw an 87-88 cougar with solid chrome mirrors at my local J-yard. I will have to double check though. Quote Selected
