Reply #21 – September 04, 2007, 12:02:29 PM Quote from: EricCoolCats;174222Here's the company info:Coach Builders Limited Inc.1410 South Main StreetHigh Springs, FL 32643Parts/Service: 386-454-2060coachbuilders@alltel.nethttp://www.coachbuildersltd.com/Looks like just the area code changed on the phone number, compared to the original 1985 ad. Nice.So...who's calling? ;)I called them........ company name is still the same.Larry Moran talked for a while and he said he joined the company back in 82.He remembers doing a few cougar verts and more specifically ,, he remembers that the Tbird was not done for many reasons that made the whole setup not so practical. The Back window on the cougar compared to the tbird was the problem. Doing a vert to a bird of that body style was not something they decided to follow through with but thats not to say another company didnt do the vert bird either.I guess you could say in short, they were not satisfied that they could keep the bird looking like a bird with respect to the back window after the top was up.Larry also mentioned that he remebers doing the cougar verts but not directly for any one dealer. He also said there are really no records available to support any info on how many were done.Also,,, no they are not interested in doing any more verts or kits on these cars. That would call for refering to information / drawings / data that they no longer have. Parts are probably out of the question as well. Quote Selected

Were all Vert Cougars white with red interior?No they weren't; in fact I was going to buy one a couple years back that was all original, red exterior with tan leather interior, and a white top. It was #56 (I think that's what it was) of the collection. The guy wanted $1,800 for it and when I called him about it, he was asking me questions about it, and said that because of my knowledge of the Cougars, he'd give it to me for $1,500. All it needed was the driver's side window regulator. Still kicking myself for not having the money for it. Quote Selected
Convertible Ad. Reply #27 – September 05, 2007, 09:08:40 AM QuoteQuick question. Were all Vert Cougars white with red interior?LOL No, just seems like it though. There was definitely a very conservative color palette on the convertibles. So far I've seen...White/red interior/white topWhite/blue interior/blue topBlack/tan interior/tan topBlack/grey interior/black topBlack/red interior/black topRed/red interior/white topRed/red interior/black topThere are probably other combinations. Maybe even brown. Quote Selected
