Oh it's not getting messed with at all this year except for wheels/tires and I can't help it, an exhaust system is a must. Quiet 5.0's are just a no no

AND NO WINTERS! I'll use my ranchero for that, it's a bit worse off than I originally thought...

You ever "go" for the clutch when you drive an auto? I do that, and I also "go" for the seatbelts in my gf's festiva with its "passive restraint system" that I so dearly hate.

I would give u the dual set up i had on my sport No H or X pipes but does have Glass packs. But im in Ohio Could cut it up and ship it but that would defeat the point lol.

She's pretty! Love that blue. I actually don't mind those hubcaps on it as far as stock goes, looks classy.

Sweet looking car, paint the lower trim and bumpers black and you won't have to deal with the paint flakes. I think it makes them look better too.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Just a quick pic when I picked it up:



It's a 5.0 which I prefer to the tc's as far as reliability is concerned. I've now had 3 5.0's and 3 TC's



No doubt. It is really very nice pic.

NiCe Birdie!!! Congrats...

I see it has corner lamps and keyless entry, I'm guessing it's a LX??? Don't usually find these options on a base model...

Those headlamps should  "perk" up a good bit with a little rubbing compound and a good waxing... Of course I'd bet you have a nice set already...

i know what that couch is there for!!! If she gets tired standing as she is staring at it admiring its beauty she could sit down lol.

But its really nice. Gotta love those cars never seeing winter roads! And the rear package tray can't be any worse than mine. You just look at it, it crumbles let alone touching it. Im suprised it isn't dust by now.

Yeah it's actually got power everything... dual power seats, power mirrors, the lamps in the back, keyless entry, auto lamps, power antenna, no auto climate (hooray!), cornering lamps, lots more than I thought. It just has the column shift and the tachless cluster (for now).

Radio, wheels, cluster and steering wheel will get swapped out in a hurry though (I so prefer the sport steering wheel). And the 14" steelies do nothing for my cornering ability, 40 mph on an exit ramp should not lead to squeeling tires...

I didn't get to the pictures today seeing as it took me about 5 hours of running around to get everything legal. Oh and MA now screws you on sales tax and bases it off of some imaginary blue book value. Lowball was $2250 (which is what I had to pay tax on) mid range was over $5k and good condition was supposedly over $7700 resale! They're on some serious drugs around here...
