You guys should see the Anniversary Cougar that my parents have. Never winter driven, only about 50k miles and the only thing not stock is the tires and the battery. Still smells new inside!

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?


There were only 5002 20th cougars made. I can't find numbers on the 85 bird.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

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.


My sentiments exactly and Paul is right, it depends on who you ask.

Personally if I had to choose between two cars and could only purchase one, I would choose the one that stirs my soul the most. I could care less how much it might be worth someday. The next "toy" car I buy will be the same as my Cougar, a lifetime purchase.
