New here, wanted to say hey

As the title states, I'm new here, but have been on the SCCOA for quite some time.  I'm looking at a 1986 Thunderbird with a 351W with a 4 speed at the moment.  Currently have a 1990 35th anniversary Supercoupe.  Used to have a '87 Cougar 20th anniversary, but ended up wrecking it.  Here are a couple of pictures of the two cars, unfortunately only pictures I have of the cougar are post-wreck.  Thanks for looking, and I hope I can find some good info here!

Welcome to the forum! Good to see another person on here that enjoys a SC'd V6 car. Sounds like you have an interesting Fox cat to put into your garage. What are you waiting for!!!

Welcome aboard. when was it wrecked?

wow, thanks for all the friendly welcomes!  The wrecked cougar was a result of two elderly people running a red light.  I was going 50 when I hit them so you are correct.  They both ended up passing away from the accident and I escaped with only a broken wrist:(.

EDIT: The car was actually wrecked almost 3 years ago, (June 29, 2006) but boy do I ever miss it!

I really want to get ahold of that 86 with the 351 in it, I love the MN12 chassis, but there is something about the foxes that I love as well, especially with that big of a motor.

Here is the mod list for the SC:

Ported early blower with 10% overdrive, port-matched inlet plenum and 70mm TB, 76mm MAF, 3" cold air intake, removed air silencer, underdrive pullies, lightweight jackshaft, intercooler fan, ARP head studs, Magnaflow Resonator/no lers/no cats/V6 Mustang headers (tubular), B&M Ripper short throw, Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch, BHJ Balancer (more to come as well)

Very nice, I had a buddy that had a 91 SC, pretty cool cars, the M90 is a pretty good blower. You'll feel right at home on this forum. How much is he asking for the Cougar?

Welcome to the forum Sean, Nice looking SC and a 35th anniversary as well. Always wanted a TC or a SC(just bought a Turbo Cougar so that will have to do for now). I think your car would look right at home in my garage, I have a few 10th anniversary Birds here along with a 25th silver anniversary box fox.

Yeah, the SC's are absolute torque monsters, its insane, my car will go sideways at 40 mph.  As for the cougar, he only wants $2500 for it, right now its flat black, needs paint, but I kinda like the flat black at the same time.
