Whats your favorite? October 02, 2014, 10:55:53 PM I want to hear what your favorite years/model is. I said XR7 for 1980-82, since the Cougar was a Granada twin. Quote Selected

Honestly, I liked them all too. If I had to choose, I think I prefer the 85/86 Cougar though. I love the "6-eye" look with the foglight bumper. I like how those years have the more modern dash too, and the slightly more modern engine electronics. Quote Selected
Whats your favorite? Reply #3 – October 03, 2014, 11:31:19 PM My personal favorite is the 85-86 Bird. I was always partial to the four eyed ones. Quote Selected
Whats your favorite? Reply #4 – October 03, 2014, 11:59:48 PM For me, it all depends on what side of the car you're looking at, front end is everything but the 87-88 T-Bird base, LX, Sport. Rear end it's the 85-86 T-Bird or Cougar and 87/88 t bird, side view it's the 83-86 t-bird and 87-88 cougar. Interior, I like the 83-84 dash, but hate the cluster, 85-88 love the clusters, dash is ok, I guess. Oh, and I detest the consolette!! Quote Selected
Whats your favorite? Reply #5 – October 06, 2014, 12:13:31 AM I've always loved the looks of the '83-86 "four-eyed" T-Birds and Cougars. That is one reason I bought my '85. I also prefer the look of the '85-88 dash over the '83-84. Quote Selected
Whats your favorite? Reply #6 – October 07, 2014, 05:36:27 PM The 85-88 rocker-style light switch takes some getting used to, apparently people didn't like it, so they went back to a pull for 1989. Quote Selected
Whats your favorite? Reply #7 – October 20, 2014, 03:02:43 PM I absolutely love the looks of a 87-88 TC if it still looks shiny with clear headlights.On the other hand, the 85-86 look better than the 83-84 IMO.But since I have 3 of the 83-84 T-Birds, it gets my vote.Heck, they all look great !I shot this pic a few days ago. it's my motivation pic now.

Whats your favorite? Reply #8 – October 21, 2014, 09:12:53 PM 83-84 TBirdFollowed by the 80-82 XR-7 (The big box Cats) and the 83-84 Cougar.I was never a fan of the 87-88 cars. I've always thought that the first iterations of a restyle are generally the best, and while the 85-86 cars have the lines of their predecessors, they lost the character. Quote Selected
