This is Dan Leoni's car...exceptionally clean, paint is gorgeous. Rare black/tan/tan combination. It is a V6 car and it will need a few parts which I can help with obtaining.

I sure hope somebody can snag it...this is a beautiful car...

Dear Santa,

I have been a very good girl this year. I have done the laundry, cooked dinner, cleaned the kitchen, cleaned the bathroom (and you know what that looks like after a bunch of guys use it), and I have hugged my children daily. I have also been nice when my mother has driven me crazy, and I kept my mouth shut when my sister made me mad.
Can you please bring me a nice Cougar for Christmas???
Thank you,
Karen

P.S. If Eric tries to tell you I wasn't good, well.... he's just jealous because Alex loves me more than him.

Doing some top or interior work is no big deal. That paint though, wow. Like a friend of mine always used to say, they only have original paint on them once. It's tough to put a value on that. Let's see, keep both kids in college or bid on a ragtop Cougar.... hmmm....

Eric, out of curiosity how many cougar convertibles are known to exist?

I have confirmed numbers of 89 total for 1986. We know of at least 16 for 1985. I have heard (not confirmed) of about 10 for 1984. I know of at least 24 for 1987 and one for 1988.

So by these numbers, a minimum of 140 between 1983-88. Even on the high side, there might have been a total of 200, maybe stretching it to 250.

Any way you look at it...it's a very exclusive club...
