I don't think it's the first time he has tried to sell it. I've seen It on kijiji a while ago. Good luck with the sale RJ.

What can I say guys, I found a mint 4 eyed Cougar (low milage '86 5.0L  it is a twin to my old '85....  even same colour and interior) that I am after and figure this would help with the purchase.  I probably wont let this go even if I get my asking price, but I figured I would see what anybody offers....

As was said.. I love this car and still enjoy driving it....

If I could find another 86 cat with the right motor, this tbird would have been gone for less then I bought it for. Good luck buddy.

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 made that, it is a hybrid from a stang shifter plate and the stock console change cover...  it uses the factory clips that hold the cougar change holder section down.

I also just put new U-joints in it and put a proper 5 speed yoke on the front of the driveshaft yesterday....
