That's wild...very nice but also stripped down! Look at the controls in the console. No power seats or windows. No digital dash either, EATC etc.
 
That engine bay looks absolutely mint.

2.5" Duals, no cats, Flowmaster 40s, Richmond 3.73s w/ Trac-Lok, maxed out Baumann shift kit, 3000 RPM Dirty Dog non-lock TC

Steering wheel is the same one that came in my 86 cougar. That car has no options, but has leather seats. Weird.

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.

It has a few options. Nothing like most of our cars. Looks like they started with no options and added vs starting with all of them and take away what they cant afford. Very clean car though. Wonder what the reserve is.

Actually it has vinyl interior, not leather.

This car was ordered with the value package 151B which has the following options over standard equipment:

•   Air Conditioning
•   Rear defroster
•   Tinted Glass
•   Light Group
•   Power Mirrors
•   Cruise Control
•   Tilt Wheel
•   Interval Wipers

Stand alone options that were ordered separately:

•   Clearcoat Metallic Paint
•   5.0L V8
•   Vinyl Trim
•   Automatic Overdrive Trans.
•   Electronic Clock
•   buttstuffog cassette radio
•   Wire Wheel Covers

The seller says that the car includes the original floor mats, however they aren’t listed on the retail invoice sheet so they must have been added later.

Looks like a very nice car.
