1987 Mercury Cougar 20th Anniversary 5.0 302 CID from North America
Summary:
The best driving car I've ever owned
Faults:
New transmission, water pump, timing chain. Brakes, rotors, tires, shocks.
General Comments:
I bought this car because my sister had an 88 red one new and it was parked next to another car in 90 that burned and it burned hers. She hated losing that one. I've had an older Cougar and even a T-bird. This one is by far my favorite of them all. This is one of the last 20th Anniversary models to roll off the assembly line. Mfg 6/87. This one drives better than my supercharged Buick! It's not as fast off the line, but it handles way better, especially with Sensa-trac struts and shocks with HP tires. Recently got it painted and the windows tinted. Everything works on the car just as it did when it left the assembly line. I hope to get 148000 more miles out of it. Heads turn when people see me driving it because not many of them are in my city, but mine's the best looking one around by far!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I have an 87 Cougar still running at 81,000 miles.
