Fox T-Bird/Cougar Forums  

I'm looking for a clean, damage free 5.0 'Bird...gotta be an '87 or '88, though I wouldn't entirely rule out an '85 or 86, either.

It's time to get back into a FoxBird. The Mustang is a fun thing, but it's missing something....style.

i am totally still into these cars, birds & cougs.  I guess im an odd ball.  I cannot imagine what the eventual day looks like when i can no longer drive one.  I feel just as ambitious and energetic about the preservation aspect as well.    I was 15 playing basketball in my driveway when i was finally united with the commercials i saw about that car the cougar........ as it drove by i saw the full side profile and at that moment i decided i will have one.  No one could buy me a car or get me a college education as we were a family of very humble means.  I come home from bootcamp and my father and i go out and at the first stop, the first car lot, there was the 84 coug with a v6.  3200$ cash and i drove home in it,, and down to avionics A school in memphis tn.

anyone who knows me knows i seem to wear the same car.  i have had 4, my first 84 total loss at the intersection where circuit city once operated in va beach.  The second 84 my rental apt tree fell on it.. then i re-enlisted and cashed in my leave days and bought my white 87... its being restored now for my youngest son although i am dealing some lonely time by myself nearly every available day... SON where art thou!,, this hurts me and i hope he snaps out of it.  skype and IoT seem to be more interesting for him yet he's my passion as well, my son and i am working hard to preseve and old machine he can be proud to own.  I love these old cars and for the sake of conversation, thier simplicity and ease to remediate and fix with a modern solution if needed when no part is available.  I worry about the tone lately around here and one day i had  a bad feeling that our community of this board will yeild and error 404 when i jump on to find information....  I have this feeling everyday now since i have started paying close attention.  to anyone with that feeling of moving on, keep one of your fox cars, its a part of who you are, these cars have personalities and wishes just like you to survive, be noticed and be liked.  If they could only for a brief moment be gifted with the opportunity to speak words, they would all tell us they also do not want to die.

whats up Shawn? good to see you back! A lot has changed in the last few years. I got married and bought a house, I'm up in westminster now. mostly finished with the sport (you know they're never really done).  Can't remember if I was still working on cars last time we talked but I've been doing commercial HVAC for a few years now. I still swing by here every once in a while. Good to hear that things are alright with you. You still in MD?
