First off, Welcome to the forum, secondly, THAT is a beautiful car, the back story makes it that much better. You paid $5,700 for a brand new car. That thing looks like it just rolled out of the showroom. On a side note, that is the first (and second) white with white wheels 88 cougar I have ever seen

Beautiful Cougar. I'm amazed at how vibrant the interior is. I didn't realize that red was so 'in your face". I like it :).

Wow. That is a great looking car.

And I don't think you overpaid. I mean, wouldn't you guys agree that the nostalgia factor has got to be worth at least a grand? If you take that away you are at $4700, and objectively I don't think that is an outrageous price for a car of that condition and mileage.

It was the standard color on the Ron Jeremy Edition Cougar offered in 1988.

Just wondering but do you have any under hood pictures? I'm curious is any of the factory inspection paint marks survived this long.
