“None worth saving. I want them all.” This is a channel about my car collection and appreciating the unappreciated. In this world where everyone loves the ‘65 Mustang, the ‘69 Camaro and all things Corvette, let’s show some affection for the cars that go far too unloved.

I've never seen a 1987 Cougar convertible
When you showed the interior, the armor all smell of my 87 Mustang popped into my nose. This thing is clean for its age.
That was such a distinctive smell all right. I know what you mean.
I love that car!! I am a huge Mercury fan, especially the Fox platform Capris and Cougars. Love the body lines of that Cougar convertible. Beautiful car in a beautiful color!
Thank you for the kind words. Check out my other videos, including the Fleet Check videos. I have quite a few Fox Capris.
I'm one of the rare ones who also thought Mercury did the styling better than Ford with their Capri and Cougar.
I want to see it with the top up
What a gem 💎
Nice 😊
My mom bought a special cousin to that car in 1984. A Fila Thundebird with the 5.0 H.O. Such a great platform. I can see why you like them so much.
Those Fila Thunderbirds were so unique and likable. Your mom had great taste in cars.
I love that interior and the sound of the Ford door chime. I had a friend that owned an 88 and let me drive it from time to time. So smooth and comfortable
At what time I owned a 1986 cougar 5.0. and a 1981 cougar inline 6 cylinder coupe
I just seen this in 2024
Thats cool
Beautiful car.....I would not have imagined it to be so good looking. What other Cougars are in your collection? I'm a LSCC member from N Texas.
I also have a ‘69, ‘73, two ‘74s, ‘75, ‘77 wagon, ‘78, ‘82 wagon and a ‘90.
In my Fleet Check videos, all of my other Cougars can be seen.
One of my uncles had a Ranchero it was a great car. Ford did not put the marketing effort into it that Chevy did with the Ranchero. Ford was busy with developing a little something called the Mustang.
Hopefully you got the track key too.
Oh yes, I definitely have the track key.
A must have!! @@unlovedautos
This is one of my favorite of your "newer" cars. Nicely done review! Here's another favorite review of this model from the early days of a KZreadr who makes his living reviewing cars for 10 years now - kzread.info/dash/bejne/qoCe2rykmJW1ZLg.htmlsi=NW8JSVPqrSAcPBiP
That was a cool video. I enjoyed his enthusiasm. It was neat to see a review of this car that is already nine years old.
Your Boss 302 Laguna Seca was a real future classic, even racier than the original in my opinion !!
That would be THE ONLY one in the US ! Being from NZ, I recognised the number plate instantly. I've had a handful of Aussie Falcon's, but my 2001 XR8 with the Tickford Hand Built 5.0L Windsor is the most special. These last pushrod engines took the builder a whole day per engine, and made 295hp, 55hp more than the '94 Mustang Cobra. Came with Gt40p heads with bigger intake/exhaust valves 70mm throttle body, roller rockers, mild port matching, unique camshaft and headers as standard. Every engine was hot run tested, and has a plaque on the rocker cover saying HAND BUILT WITH PRIDE, and the builders signature etched in !!
It's a fun choice!
Hope you have spare door handles mate.
Are they doomed to fail?
Is it for sale?
No, but if someone made me an offer I couldn’t refuse, you never know.
Well I Love it!!!😊
That's a great classic car! -one that you'd want to take out and enjoy driving on a nice, sunny day!
That's a New Zealand license plate, not Australian
No one drinks Foster's here. Never see it in a bottle shop. Mainly brewed offshore under license
I bought a can of Foster's here in Texas just for fun after reading these comments. It was brewed in Fort Worth, Texas. Amazing.
beauty
Are you sure it's not an Elcamino ? 😂😂😂
Definitely a Ford,,which I LOVE 😎🇺🇸
Dagahiem 4 speed , Put a 200 six in it and a Tremec T5 5 speed , it will run totally different , and get good milieage.
170 came in 61 , 200 in 64
Clean!
I like the Ranchero.
Man this is a clean Dakota. Dakota's are nice little trucks. I am typically not a Dodge person but this one I'd definitely consider!
In the 1964 James Bond movie, "Goldfinger," the villain's Korean henchman, Odd Job, used a Ranchero to recover the crushed cube of a Lincoln Continental. Although not the biggest stretch of imagination in the film, the viewer was led to believe that a 4,927 pound car, containing an unfortunate, 200 pound American gangster, could be easily transported in the Ranchero with no visual suspension strain. The third movie of the series also featured more of Ford's 1964 lineup, including a Country Squire (woody) station wagon, a T-Bird and the recently introduced Mustang. While the Aston-Martin DB5 stole the show, the film also introduced the new Piper Cherokee line of aircraft and spotlighted an emerging business jet fascination with a Lockheed Jetstar.
Cool info. Loved that movie, when "Bond was Bond", also the cute girl I took on a date, in my 55 Ford Ranch Wagon, to see it open at Grumman's Chinese theater in Hollywood, way back in the day!! LOL ;D
@@ronschlorff7089 My aunt had a '55 Ford station wagon. I remember the folding rear seats and the tailgate. Then she got a '57 Ford wagon with the bigger taillights and speedometer. A '60 Dodge wagon followed and the tailgate window rolled down rather than lifted up. Her next two cars, following her divorce, were a '62 Pontiac Catalina convertible and a '66 Pontiac GTO. I'm thinking maybe the wagons weren't all her ideas.🤔 I was old enough to drive the Pontiacs and may have inadvertently set a single-wheel, tire-fire record with the GTO.🤫
@@decay21450 yup, the old cars were great, and you could recognize a specific make and model a block away, or, by your description of them here just now. So, folks tell me the difference, without looking, between a new Nissan and a Honda SUV, eh? LOL ;D
Falcon Ranchero was good. Worked well for small projects. Put a 302 4 bbl under the hood and you win.
Thanks for sharing- love that collection especially the Capri’s!!!!
This is such a great example! The trim is in unbelievable condition, as is the interior - real highlights on this Ranchero.
I remember the day I bought that car from the old man on Facebook. It does rumble a little bit from the aftermarket dual exhaust.
Where was he located? For a six, it does have a nice sound out the exhaust.
Looking sharp!
I would think a more comfortable daily driver then a Mustang. I was kind of shocked to learn how in the toilet Mustang sales are. I think Stellantis pulled the plug on the Challenger at just the right time. Time will tell if the new Charger can produce some good sales figures. From what I understand the Hurricane 6 is pretty potent and should have no problem keeping up with the V-8 Mustangs, Pretty sure they will also bring out a Challenger replacement on a smaller chassis them the Charger and that will be the real Mustang Competitor.
Some information for you: * Going by the dash and also the front panels this car is XF series (1984 - 1988) * The plate (tag) on the front bumper is from New Zealand, 100%. Australian ones are VERY different to that one. Hope this helps.
had same car same color v8 ( 85) - also have a 1980 with a 200 straight 6
I'm literally looking at one of these in a manual in South Florida.. I thought those $15k off prices were lies Lol.. I'm going to check out a dealer at the end of the month. Did you finance through stellantis to get the rebates? I know I can qualify, just don't know if I should go through them.
I did not do so, so I do not have any info on the potential rebates. Good luck!
Looks Great! Love the T/A package! Its the best! Owner of a black and red themed Tor Red 2010 thats pretty modded. I love the wheel on this one even though their dark toned
Be careful. This looks identical to my T/A 5.7, and mine was just stolen.
Oh no!
Oh shit man, I’m so sorry to hear this that is absolutely terrible! I assume you have done the steps to locate it, keep us updated when you find it.
@eclipz4129 Update. My car was found, but thieves broke into police impound a day later and stole it back. I can't make this up.
@@cburn67 WHAT!?!?!!!!! Fucking unbelievable…… I’m so so sorry 😞 The police station should be held accountable for this time, they should have done a better job keeping it protected! That’s just awful, this is the reason people don’t buy muscle cars and it’s the exact reason I’m afraid to get my RT Challenger. I’m in the market to get one and I’m nervous. I’m very sorry I have never heard of such a thing.
@eclipz4129 Get 23 or 24 Challenger. They have the new update and most have low jack now from the dealer. Just make sure you put some kill switches on it and extra security.
I had an '83 Capri L. It was mis-badged as a Capri LX.
I’d love to see a photo of that if you have one.
@@unlovedautos No, unfortunately I don't.
Had:a 4.0L XF in Caribbean Green.
Nice acquisition!
Thanks!
Looks good. Nice color combo! Congrats!
Thanks!
What a great find. That’s going to be a very comfortable ride for you. The Torred with matte black trim looks brilliant 👀
It’s already a lot of fun and great for daily use . . . can’t corner like the GT350 or even the Mach 1, though. I really dig the color . . . since they stopped making them in gold.
very cool! love the falcon
So a truck/van steering wheel wouldn't do it for you? they're out there.
Sounds the same as my 440 ramcharger with the pops. Also the lack of working gauges is the same but my speedo works but I would take a working fuel gauge instead.
