How's this for a rare color combo?

A black TC with tan interior. I didn't even know this combo existed -  thought you could only get tan with gold:

im curious to know about the chrome window trim around the windshield

It's Gumby's fault.

I noticed the chrome too, I figured the windshield must've been broken at some point and the buggered the trim replacing it. As for the console lid - that's the same lid Ive got, but mine's red. My console is from an '83 Cougar. There's a guy on eBay that sells covers for 'em (the same guy that sells the dash caps), so maybe he got one of those covers

While I can't remember seeing a black TC with the tan interior(EDIT.. yep there was one on ebay a couple of years ago, was local I went to look at it), I have seen a '88 Sport with that color combo.. Was the most bare bones sport I've ever seen, had manual windows, mirrors and seats....

yes it is, the 83-86's got the long console that goes to the back seat, and had the flat ashtray, the 87-88's got that console with the rotating ash tray, for more leg room
It's Gumby's fault.

No T-Birds?
Not even convertibles, with hydraulics?

I've actually seen a green 86 Cougar convertible (yes it was real, the top was down).  Not sure if it started life as a droptop though.  I saw it back in 99 about 20 miles east of me.  I wonder if it's still out that way or not.

This car is LOADED with options, and everything seems to function


I thought the loaded TC had some sort of extra switch in the center console.

That's the same console lid my '87 LS had in it.  I still have it in my attic.

yah, his prices he thinks he can get are a bit on the high side. 500 bucks for the engine, maybe to someone who really wanted one. the rear I can get at any junkyard on the high side for 350, hood, 50-100, but the car as a whole isn't worth more than his starting price.
