Hey guys im new to the site. I live in evansville, indiana and just recently purchased a 1984 mercury cougar LS for 850. Its white all original with only 126,000 miles on car and motor. I couldn't pass it up since I also own a 1990 lincoln mark vii lsc. Both have the 5.0, but the mark vii has the HO. While the lincoln is tweaked a little the cougar is bone stock. Any ideas on both would be greatful. Got plans to buy the thunderbird next hopefully for my fiance. Who likes to cougar but not the lincoln.
Welcome aboard....Any pics ? :D

Welcome to the board! :D

Just kidding........ sorta. :D
Welcome aboard!
It's easy enough to swap in an HO, just need the engine, engine harness, and an EEC to control the electronics.
There's a lot of info over on Coolcats.net...a lot of stuff beyond just engine swapping. ;)
We need pics, or cookies.....or both! lol

Dude, that car looks like it'd be a great project to "finish" restoring, considering it's not bad looking as is :headbang:
Big thanks to MERCURY-MAN for uploadin the great pix of my 1984 cougar....its a start but a winner in progress
Nice!
Welcome.
That Cougar looks almost Identical in condition and color to my Thunderbird.
Nice ride.
Well im going to start working on my child after the new year. Right now getting ready to take it for its first out of state trip for the holidays to crump, michigan. Can't wait to let the cat out on the highway. I have lots of admirers at toyota. They ask me all the time if I want to sell my car. Im like hell no. Can't wait to get the t bird version next. Then I will have all three. Once the new car show season hits evansville draco will look and sound different. Just hard to find four lug rims these days. Anyone heard of a nightstalker version of the cougar? I can't wait to see my dads eyes when he sees the cougar. He wants to drive it. I told he can just can't have it. Lol. Im very impressed with the car and everything bout it. For 26 years old it rides like its only 5 miles old. Any ideas on things I could do with it. Im keeping it stock looking outside but under the hood the dragon is being unleashed. Suggestions welcome. Thanks dan for uploading pics for me.
Well guys im glad everyone likes my car. Yea after the new year draco is getting revamped with goodies. So next carshow season he will sound different. Also looking forward to my first big trip with him. Going to crump, michigan for thanksgiving and christmas. Dad wants to see it and drive it. I told him he could just can't have it. Even people at toyota where I work like it some even offer to buy it. I look and laugh its not for sale. Im so impressed with the car. For 26 years old it drives and handles great like its only 5 miles old.
Howdy. Great looking cougar you got there. How bout some interior pics when you get your uploading problem figured out:cool:
