Күн бұрынMan, do I love me some Cougars........
Who knew my shop was just 30-60 minutes away from some really nice, low mileage Cougars this whole time? The 1992 I am buying today has just a hair over 5,000 actual miles with a whole folder full of paperwork to join her. She's one heck-of-a Cougar!

Very cool. In the late 90's my wife wanted a Cougar. She found one with the 3.8 and sunroof. I said no sunfoof (her reason to get another car was the leaking sunroof on an 85 Accord) and it had to be the 5.0. Bought a 93, similar color to that, with 5.0 and tan leather, still have it. I knew about the super coupe T-birds, but not the Cougars with that engine. Love these videos where I can learn something.

Just finding your channel, and am enjoying the videos. From 1990-1997 I worked for a Tier 1 Automobile supplier in Winnsboro South Carolina. We made the body side moldings for the XR-7 models, and later when they were shared with the T-Birds. I remember the Tourmaline Green, and the Medium Aubergine (marketed as Egg Plant or Plum). some of prettiest Ford colors we matched. After 1991, all our Ford products were color matched to the body color, some cars had 10 parts in 10 colors. Nice to see a good looking example of those cars. Extra trivia, the door and rear quarter moldings were made in left and right pairs on 1000 ton molding machines, the little fender pieces were 100% molded on 150 ton machines. Good times, thanks for bringing back memories

I test drove a 92 or 93 XR7 Cougar at the dealership in Junction City KS. before reassignment to Germany. It was a fully loaded 5.0 with leather interior. It was one of the best long distance cruiser cars I have ever driven. I did not purchase the car because going to Germany and financing a car were tricky back then and it was a little above my price range at the time being a SGT in the Army and newly married. My wife liked that car more than any other car we drove or owned. Nice find Dennis. Cool cars for sure.

Nice Cougars! I own a 1992 25th anniversary Cougar, currently has 72,000km on it, with the 3.8 in it, tweaked a little. I dont have the cougar jacket but do have the factory mats, owners manual pouch, the pen and the keys, all with the 25th emblem on them. Love that unique tourmaline green metallic paint on it, shining in the sun! Notice the badges on the trunklid, the ls and xr7 badges were on the taill lights but the 25th edition, badges were on the trunk lid.
