I love the first comment on that video!

"Yeah, I bought a 1983 Mercury Cougar for $200, in 1994. Let's just say I got what I paid for."

:rollin:


Yeah, I saw that too and made me raise an eyebrow.  Probably the guy didn't do research or got a pretty abused one and wasn't willing to do anything so ended up like this: :toilet:  But we know better.

Here is a couple pics from back in the 80's of our 83. My parents traded a 79 in on this and this was the car I took my drivers test in. It was a very early 83 ordered in Raven Black to match a 57 we had then. I was given the car when I finished school in 86 and I proceeded to trade it for a corvette. Used to see the car from time to time but that was 20 years ago and have no idea what became of it.

My Dad's '83 Cougar 302 around 1987. It was red with tan interior, and had manual windows and locks.

Late again.... I wanted to post this last week.:hick:

8/10/83 is when I bought my TBird and this picture was taken just after I got it.

27 years later, I guess this is a vintage photo!
