These cars wont be worth much in a long time. Do what you want, dont worry about value now.

Tc's may have value in the future(being 87s car of the year and all)and the vert's,but i don't think the rest will.
Not even the 20th cougar unfortuatley.
But hey i devalued my Tc soon after i got it by doing the 5.0L swap,doesn't matter much to me due to the fact that my car has met it's final owner.
Bottom line,do what please you and not everyone else.

The only cars that will be worth much of anything are the low-mile, all-original ones, regardless of special editions and such, with very few exceptions.
