" SMALL-BLOCK MADNESS"  We built and raced the car in the early 80s and retired it to the street for the odd sat night/sun cruise after it became a conflict with our business (farming and electrical contracting) which ate up the summer hrs.

 Thanks, the fun factor is there. The comet has a top-loader/5.43s and the cougar a HO/ T-5/4.10s....real cars have 3 pedals.:burnout:

What is the color code on that Cougar?

Looks like Desert Sand Metallic.

I'm sure I've never seen that color on a Cougar before.  Looks fantastic.

You've just fueled me to locate a cougar like that...hopefully for free :)


Does anyone else find it harder to find cougars than thunderbirds? I can never seem to find a fox cougar here in florida...

Yup, always harder to find a Cougar than a Thunderbird.

I've always liked the rear shots like that on the 83-84 Cougars.

That color is just a rare color, and really makes the car stand out too.  That's the same color of the '84TC I had that I sold a few years ago.

Your Cougar is very very nice.  I am at work and when I saw that 1st picture I said "!" outloud.  lol.  The grey painted Cobra's work perfectly with that paint color.  A few months ago their was an exact twin to that car at a local car lot (except stock with V6)...I wanted it but the wife said no.

What size tire are you running on the Cobra R's?  Are they 16's or 17's?  I am going to go with a taller/wider tire on my 'bird and I like the way yours look!

Oh one more thing; MORE PICS please!
