My new Daily Driver...(Body shop pics added)

Well since the '88 has been getting a little worn and ready for some much needed work, I have made the descision to buy a new DD and park her for now....

Here she is, I pick it up tonight at 8pm:

Stats as advertised:
1996 4.6L Cougar XR-7
Power Windows And Locks, Automatic, 4.6 liter V8, RWD, Air Conditioning (it works), Keyless Entry, Black Exterior, Grey Interior, Sunroof, Power Driver's seat, etc...

Runs great, no rust! 2nd owner, oil changes done every 5000 kms!

LOL...

Looks like a nice car, but that's also what I thought when I bought the '95 LX... Been gone over a year, haven't missed it...

I test drove a 40th anniversary with the 4.6, and I was a little dissapointed....it wasn't terrible, but I felt like the 3.8 cougar i test drove earlier could easily keep up with it.

Then you test drove one with issues... this thing hauls a$$.  and all the 4.6L tbirds and cougars I have been in move out very nicely...
