I think it said 29500 miles. Looks good black exterior.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Dang, that looks like a great original example. Sure would like to have one like that, especially with the vent windows.

I just called and emailed about 15 86 tbirds and cougars. Just got my taxes and can't find the right car. I didn't wan't to driver further then 1000 miles, or spend more then $1500. Every reply I got was sold or a v-6. Even though a good bodied v-6 would work fine in the long run, I want to swap my new motor and stick shift, without taking the car off the road long.
