Oh My!!!! Reply #30 – March 25, 2014, 09:27:33 PM I think the radiator support was pushed in and the whole car repainted when it was still fairly new. this would explain almost all the discrepancies. Quote Selected

I didn't even notice they were not on the inner fenders. I was talking about the round adjustable ones on the radiator support. Quote Selected

Oh My!!!! Reply #36 – March 26, 2014, 05:14:21 PM I think it's more and more likely that this Cougar was in some sort of front end collision when fairly new and it was repaired. It would have had to have been a long time ago as any major damage it sustained in the last 10-15 years would have caused the car to be a write off. Quote Selected

Maybe the red seats don't lend themselves to fair pictures but then there's that bolster that seems more bowed even if it were adjusted all the way out. Also maybe the engine was pulled and the bay was repainted while it was out. Also either some ziebart was painted over in the engine bay or there was some rework from an accident.Any number of possibilities I suppose but there's definitely more to the history than is being let on. It could be a fine driver but anyone here considering a purchase should at least have this in their mind when looking it over. No one likes bad surprises after the purchase. Quote Selected
Oh My!!!! Reply #38 – March 26, 2014, 05:40:12 PM Something is definitely up with this Cougar. The only thing I can figure for the seat wear is that the seller mentioned it was parked outside for a couple of years. Maybe it's sun induced wear but I doubt it. Quote Selected

Maybe it's sun induced wear but I doubt it.I thought that too but then something made me pause but I forget what that other thought was. I wonder how the top of the dash looks. I also wonder if this guy has two red Cougars and the nice parts, including the seats, went to the other car. I sound like all the people throwing theories out there about the missing 777.

Oh My!!!! Reply #40 – March 26, 2014, 10:03:04 PM It's a mystery but this car is defiantly not "all original" or "just like off the dealer lot". Something has happened to it in the past. Quote Selected
