I remember those very well when I rented from Hertz car rental back then. The Cougar looked the same, except the roof wasnt as rounded off in the back. Some of those came with a 302 V8 also. People should have taken care of those cars and not gone crazy with foreign cars like they did. Those Tbirds and Cougars had the good rear wheel drive and good cast iron engines. Those mid 80s cars is what the 98 to 2011 Lincoln town cars were built off of. My 2005 Lincoln town car is actually the same thing but is longer with 4 doors, and has the 4.6 V8, but I like the mid 80s V6 and V8 better actually because you didnt have the awful cam chains and tensioners nightmare issues
I had one of these in the early nineties, same year. Black with red interior. Loved that car. Called it the thunder chicken.
I wish I could afford it!!!! Its BEAUTIFUL!
I had one of those. over 200000 trouble free miles. one great ford
I had a '85 Mercury Cougar same color 302 cu.in. great luxury car. I miss it. I always wanted a '86 Thunderbird Turbo Coup.
Currently have a1983 Heritage 5.0L. In just about as good condition. (Except my climate controls work) Love these cars! So underrated!

I drive one when ever I can
I think the first car to have a digital speedometer was the 1979 Buick Riviera.
