New pictures of my '87 Cat

It was possibly one of the last really nice days of the year today in Lincoln, so I thought I'd wash the cat and take some pictures. Unfortunately the sun's position doesn't work for some of the more scenic spots I wanted to shoot, so I'll have to wait for a more overcast day for those, like I did the last time. I'm thinking of submiting one for the Cougarnuts caldendar, which one do you guys like the best? I like the 5th or 6th ones the best, probably the the 5th.

Nice pictures. Your car looks great. My grandparents' neighbor had one in that color combo. I remember looking over at it every time I was at their house. Since I was 4 years old at the time, I would say that car is what got me started liking these cars.

The fifth picture is veddy nice. It's my favorite out of the bunch.

Very nice, wish mine looked that good, I especially like the fact that you still have the TRX rims on it.  Keep up the nice work.

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.

Those are polycast wheels
It's Gumby's fault.

Yep yep, the polycasts.  I like the look of them, but I wish they weren't 14".  Thanks for all the compliments guys.  The cars is mostly original and mostly stock, just a lot of TLC.  Its got a bit of rust creeping up again, so it will probably be in for some work and a fresh coat of paint next summer.  I originally wasn't that fond of the two tone brown, but it started growing on me, and as soon as I ditched the white walls, I was hooked.

Well, I guess the old phrase "Open mouth, insert foot" kinda fits for me here, don't it?  Now that I see the differences, I knida like the polycasts better.  Still looks real nice.

The fifth pic is the better of the two in my opinion.  I like the way the sky looks behind the car in it.
