Free to good home, t/c bumper cover

I have a spare t/c frt bumper cover from a 86 Bird if anyone has a interest. It will need to be picked up due to size but I can keep it (its stored inside now) till arrangements could be made. It has a small tear in the lower pass side corner, no missing pieces. I have it listed in a few places just trying to get someone who needs it so it doesnt go in the trash. I am between Buffalo and Erie. Free to a good home.

I also have a lt and rt door for a 87/88 Bird or Cougar, no rot. Taillights from a 86 T Bird T/C and a standard hood for a 83-88.
I would be willing to trade this stuff for a center console switch panel for my 86 XR7, it needs to have dual power seat openings.

I have thinned my collection down to 6 cars I am keeping and wont be needing these things.

no the tc bumper covers come to a point in the middle. The cougar has a cut out where the grill sits.

Are you sure about that?  My 86 XR7 doesnt come to a point and neither does this which came from a 86 T/C. My 87 Bird does come to a point but of course its a totally different nose on a 87 then 86

Curiosity got to me so I started searching and found this on Cool cats.


 Front Bumpers 1983-86 Thunderbird/Cougar; 1984-86 XR-7 (and Cougar) can use 1984-86 Turbo Coupe front bumper w/foglight cutouts
**1987-88 Cougars use specific front bumpers and are different from Thunderbirds.

Guessing it looks like this then. Is this a TC front already then? I'm still TC challenged

I'm guessing it's not original to the car then. looks like a lot of stuff was replaced on the vert at one time. The car report said it was totaled at one time, and rebuilt in the 90s

Well, come on back for New Years and bring a truck. I have never had such a hard time giving away good pieces.
