I spray painted my old 86 cat black. It had alot of rust all over it, including on the roof and inside the doors. I couldn't find any midnight wine purpleish gray, and really didn't want a purple car. The spray paint will fade greatly if its outside for any period of time.

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.
