    As a 51 year old dude, I hope you buy that Cougar, Randy. I for one enjoy those older cars you buy that were once common, but now uncommon to see. That’s content I really enjoy.

    Wow, that Cougar brought back some memories. They were very popular when first released as they had radically different styling than the boxy cookie cutter designs common at that time. I still think they are stylish, and with so many being on the road at one time, you hardly see one anymore. Randy, you have to save this one from the crusher!!

    That Cougar brought back a ton of good memories! In high school I had an 84 with the 5.0 liter V8. It wasn’t an HO but for what it was it did move. It was enough for a dopey high school kid. I had bought it as a total loss the only straight panels on it were the roof and deck lid. It was dark gray with gray interior. I got rid of those awful Michelin TRX tires and wheels and had a set of American Racing Corvette knock off wheels. It had a body kit and dark tinted windows. I gave it to my brother in-law in 91 when I got an 89 GMC truck.

    There's something charming about the old American cars- even the slow, run of the mill economy cars of the 80s and 90s. There was just a level of simplicity that's admirable when compared to modern machines. I'd bet that Cougar was owned by an older person from new, they passed away and the car sat, and then a grandkid or nephew or something ended up with the car and drove it for a few months before it got parked.

    Jump on that Cougar, Randy. One time, I saw a guy at a gas station near me with an 87 or 88 Cougar, I can't remember and you could see it sitting still without the brake lights on, it rolled back a little bit and then you heard a bit of a rev and it moved forward..... It was a 5-speed manual car!!!! They had them that way from the factory though I bet they were crazy rare and I really, really want one!!!! That Cougar is nice, Randy. Cars like this is why I watch your channel and I bet others feel the same way.

    Awesome video it's been awhile you guys collaborate. That cougar reminds me of my neighbors he had the same exact year and color but it had only 88k miles on it. I remember when I was a junior in high school he wanted to give it to me. I should of bought it instead I drove a 92 Lincoln Town Car Signature Series. Sadly my neighbor sold his cougar for 3,500 back in 2004. By the way I'm 42 years old will be 43 in August.

    Randy,, I had a 83 Cougar, same body style, had the 5.0 in it. Prior owner even put the 5.0 badges on the front fenders. Had a decent hit on the front end, I had to replace the header panel, bumper and cover. The duel cats collapsed so I took them out, hollowed them out and put it all back together. A cheap Maco paint job and the car looked decent and I drove it for a few years. Had to replace the crank shaft position sensor, but over all it was a pretty cool car. With the clear exhaust, it actually had some get up and do. I would buy another if e could.
