Title: need help identifying rare cat
Post by: foxstang on February 23, 2012, 12:51:03 AM
hey guys im new to this forum and need help.. i just picked up my 3rd 88 cougar after "finding it in a junk pile" the car has a ground effects kit on it that says BOSSCAT, the seats have SHELBY embroidered into the headrests, there is a shelby badge on the center console and a bosscat badge on the dash, the car has a turbo-charger that says shelby on it and it is a 5.0, i already have a nightcat limited edition but have never heard of this edition yet when i contacted the local ford,lincoln-merc dealer that sold it new they say it was indeed a very limited edition, has anyone else heard of a bosscat edition and where i can find out more about it.. the car is pearl white with dark blue leather interior

Well if it has a turbo someone added that after it left the factory. I can guaranty that it did not come out of the factory like that.

Sounds like someone liked to throw roush and shelby on parts they changed out.

There was never an '88 Cougar that had anything related to a Boss, Shelby, or any of the sort.

I'd say haystack nailed it dead-on.


I could glue an SVT badge on my trunklid....only fools, ricers, silly little girls, and f*cktards would believe it to be factory.

Look at the bright side, at least you saved a Fox from being mashed into a future Chinese-made copycat....bonus that it has gfx, and pressurized induction. ;)


PICS or ban lol

That's what I was thinking, maybe a dealer-built car. Probably never be a collector's item but still cool nonetheless...

Nice! I was thinking it would be something like the night f150 they came out with. No chrome, everything blacked out but I see it still has chrome molding and gold grill trim.

Wow, you guys are s-l-o-w.
