Daytime pics look awesome Claude! Congrats on the ride once again..

And about the tail lights.. When I had the 84 GS i used to wish i had the 85-86 tail lights.. but now that I have an 85 and 86 cats, well I kinda miss seeing the 83-84 style.

chuck i wasnt talkin about the bird lights just the cats they look to big blockyand bright. i guess its just since i grew so attached to my 86 before i even reseached any other years, except for what i would see on to streets. just my opinion though.

I was refering to the 83-84 Cougars as well as the Tbirds....

I'll stand pat with my statement....83-84 are the best :p

I own an 84 and have owned an 86. After awhile the "coolness" of the 85-86 tailights wears off. They dont have any contour, just a blackout look. I love the three tiered tailights.

Looks like you were finally able to get a pair of 85-86 chrome mirrors for me. They even came with a car attached!


Good score Claude.  I would have bought it if it was within an hour or so from me.
