'86 Cougar Conv. FS Reply #9 – January 23, 2009, 11:43:05 PM Quotelike they say a fool and his money soon depart!An '86 LS started at around $16,000 U.S., and the conversion was about $8-10K above that. This is with the PEP package; options could drive the LS to $18K. So the grand total of $24-26K or more for a convertible would rival a loaded Mark VII LSC in price.But...it was a car that nobody else had. Expensive? Sure. What would our cars cost today, plus a convertible conversion? $40K? More? It's all relative. Remember that these cars were targeted at the late baby boomer generation, more specifically the "yuppies", who made decent money on the stock market. They could easily afford our cars, buying them new.So thanks to those "fools", we get to enjoy our cars today. Quote Selected
'86 Cougar Conv. FS Reply #10 – January 24, 2009, 12:33:51 AM well there still fools because i would not spend $10,000 to make people think ,a car that nobody else had and its 23 years old to boot. last time i spent that much on any ride was my brand new loaded 1987 stang GT for $13,500 in late 1986 [/B] and to replace my dad truck for 1995 K2500 with 42k miles FOR $10,500 in 2000and my 1995F250 with 52K Miles at the time for$9,000 in 2001 SORRY there a reason they wasn't many made back in the 1986/87. you can call it what you want but i know theres only one word!!!

'86 Cougar Conv. FS Reply #11 – January 24, 2009, 08:36:26 AM WOW! You have just managed to insult a lot of people with your statements... how rude of you.Just because you wouldn't pay that much for the car when it was new, doesn't mean others wouldn't have, and enjoyed having them. The reason there weren't many made in 86/87 was because it was a limited edition! Just like an anniversary edition or any other special edition Cougars out there... they are limited.I know one particular '86 Vert that could easily go for $15,000 today... it's a beautiful car, well maintained, in pretty much mint condition. I could easily see someone being willing to pay that much for it. (I also know it's not going anywhere!) As I said, it depends on the person who is buying it as to how much it is worth to them.... especially on limited editions. Quote Selected

My 87 cost me about 9 grand at 1 1/2 years old. it was a win-win situation for me. and it was still under ford warranty.I'm not sure what the true price of an LS was back then. Quote Selected

And if that wasn't enough for you then you could take a 25k Mark VII and have a convertible conversion done to it. :D Quote Selected
