20th anniversary Cougar or '85 Fila December 27, 2008, 03:14:05 PM I currently own an '85 Fila which is in near mint condition. It has all the factory options except leather interior and graphic equalizer.I have found a 87 anniversary Cougar that is also in mint condition. It also has all the options, sunroof, power antennae etc. The asking price is $1500. It has 65000 miles on it.Which car is more desireable? Quote Selected

20th anniversary Cougar or '85 Fila Reply #5 – December 28, 2008, 02:46:28 PM I would go with the 20th also Quote Selected
20th anniversary Cougar or '85 Fila Reply #6 – December 28, 2008, 03:16:24 PM This would be a toughie for me, because I like the four eye 'Birds and the 87-88 Cougars most (yet I own an 88 'Bird - go figure). The 4-eye 'Bird has a more muscular, classic car look to it, while the 87-88 Cougar is, in my mind, the perfect automotive shape. Investment-wise the Coug would probably be the way to go, since it's a limited edition (so is the Fila, but the Coug was one year only and was celebrating a milestone, not just pimping a fashion company). Practicality-wise I'd have to go for the car that's in better shape... Quote Selected

20th anniversary Cougar or '85 Fila Reply #8 – December 28, 2008, 03:55:20 PM I expect the Anniversary cars (tbird or cougar) will be more valuable than any of the others in the future, but I don't care...the 1985 Fila is a cooler car in my book. Quote Selected

20th anniversary Cougar or '85 Fila Reply #10 – December 28, 2008, 05:45:46 PM Man 1500 for a 20th with 65k on it....man now is the time now is the freakin' time. I want a mint low mileage one sooooo bad LOL hopefully they don't get too valuable for another few years or so. Don't let the sig pic fool you there's all kinds of things wrong with it that make it a little far from "mint" at least in my eyes. And yeah 126000 is just a number but I still don't like it :hick: Quote Selected

And yeah 126000 is just a number but I still don't like it I second that one. My 20th has 116,000 on it, rust all around the bottom skirts, and some motor quirks to be worked out, granted i only paid 650 for mine, 1500 is a hell of a deal man, take it. Quote Selected

20th anniversary Cougar or '85 Fila Reply #14 – December 28, 2008, 11:22:30 PM does anyone know the production numbers of the two cars? or how much they cost new? that should give a better idea as far as actual value(like to someone who didnt know anything about these cars) then people on here who have theyre own personal opinions and expiriences. some people like 4 eyes, some dont, but idk if that actually adds value to the car. you know?
