It has its flaws, below is a pic of the worst spot on the car.. amazingly tho the front fenders are mint.. underneath is also very clean and only has a small amount of surface rust

Nice find. Do you have any huge plans for it? Re-paint and performance mods? I'd like to find another Bird. I think I have the ONLY one anywhere around here. They are drying up fast. The parts are too. I'll get out and start searching soon.

Nice find!

The only thing I dislike about it is that massive tach. People do that to fox stangs and I think its the "tachiest" (GET IT? :)) thing ever. It just doesn't look right...but otherwise, good job!

Newcomer here!! I bought an 87 cougar recently. I've wanted one of these cars for a long time. I got it for less than a $1000 dollars. I have some big plans for it as well. The body is in excellent condition but I'd like to get it painted and the inside redone.
