I'm sure someone else on here besides me has seen this for sale before. I remember it on ebay a couple years back actually. It's on Long Island. What impresses me is that it's a moonroof car. Also has keyless (and therefore illuminated entry) and power antenna. BUT no electronic climate!!!! :shakeass: And I wonder if it has a trac-lok rear? I'm not being elitist really I'm not! :hick: I honestly would like to see one for sale with everything like mine. I haven't yet. At least not that I recall. Moonroof especially continues to be exceptionally rare. Surely that must have been the most costly option.


But on subject, I like this thing, but obviously not worth 5 digits LOL

I remember seeing this car before also.  I hate that louvered hood, otherwise a nice looking car.  Definately not worth the BIN.

I happen to prefer the non elec climate controls.

Yes.  Interestingly optioned car.  I kinda thought a car with Dual power seats, keyless entry, moonroof would automatically come with EATC.  But I guess it was a separate option not part of a package.

Do you have a window sticker for your 20th anniv?

Shredder, I DONT!!! Wish I did. I'm the 4th owner I believe (if you don't count my dad, same family kinda thing). But he was the 3rd. I know the sticker that Eric has on Coolcats is a 20th that's optioned pretty similar to mine, I think missing only power antenna. And that sticker is for $22k in 1987 dollars! In today's dollars that's a 37 thousand dollar car! :wtf:


I mean...I LOVE the thing. We LOVE these cars. But I don't think it's *quite* $37k worth of quality hahahaha

ZondaC12, do you have this option?
Programmable Memory Seat Switch (1987 20th Anniversary ONLY)
Owners of 1987 20th Anniversary Cougars will find a programmable memory seat switch located on the driver's door panel. The function of this switch is to remember driver's seat settings for up to 3 different drivers. The buttons are numbered 1 and 2, but the 3 set is activated by holding 1 and 2 simultaneously.

Yeah, actually that's *not* an option! It's MANDATORY, and you'd better like it. *shakes fist* LOL just kidding, but that's standard equipment for all 20th annys. It is a 3 position memory seat, what's funny is my mom's 2002 Explorer has the *exact* same button setup. Always love that, when they recycle stuff left over like that. I never use it naturally, but that's an impressive feature to me. Can't imagine any or many other rides in '87 had that...
