Oh look, it's a cougar (big pics)

no, one of the cougars only hummed, the other did nothing.... the previous owner didn't even know they lit up....... as for the hanging leather bag in the trunk... that's where the removable sunroof goes.... the hangers show that it was a factory installed popup roof because one of the hanging brackets is built into the back of the seat

I can't resist it anymore! That 4 eyed makes me want one.....


funny you say that, that's the only part of the car my wife isn't fond of (and the way i'll get to keep it!!!)......  her dream car (which i will HAVE to build) is to take an 86 cougar and swap front ends with an 87.....  she loves the 87 lights and the 86 back

good luck with that front end conversion. Personally I think the 83-86 headlights are better. unless you have a modded front end like karls car the flat headlights seem to boring in my mind. I do like the 87-88 grill- to bad there not interchangable

I like the 4 eyes much better, and it need be, you can get new headlights cheap

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.

As I've said before, I'm a flush headlight guy.  But  that car does it for me.

it looks like it may have come with the factory smoke lense covers.....  in each corner there's something making it look rounded and in the centers it looks like a little metal rod pushes up... just a little weird.... i wish i could find some (cha-ching$)..... that would look sweet!!!:tetas:(headlights...haha)

Those did not exist...aftermarket only, or Ford dealer-installed. The only cars that ever were confirmed to have headlight covers were the 1987-ish Silver Aero's. We know this because there was a recall on the cars because the headlight covers cut down on visible light transmission and broke a few laws (oops).

But it was a pretty popular thing to get the covers from the dealer and/or have them install them. I've not seen a setup like what your car has...and I've seen a ton of different styles for the 1983-86 cars. Maybe it was a homemade setup...

oh no..... i've been corrected!!!!  eeeekkkk...... but anyway, i did mean to say dealer installed and not factory (oops), and being how the lady said it was a dealer demo before she got, there's no telling what was on there....  where's that time machine when you need it?
