Still available but it's gotta go by Wednesday. I'd prefer someone from here getting it but if not claimed in next couple of days, it will be donated or go to a cash for cars place.
Anybody interested before it goes? I found another set of side skirts that can go with the car as well and like i said I have the brake parts for the rear end still in boxes.
Anybody interested in taking over my project? It started as an 88 cougar ls with the 3.8L and after the headgasket blew, I replaced the motor with a 3.8sc out of a 95 supercoupe. The car ran fine for a while, I lost 3rd gear in the stock transmission so replaced it with a rebuilt transmission form a 5.0L LSC. The car then started acting up, surging and not running properly, so grabbed the entire wiring harness from a 94 supercoupe and the conversion started but as I wasn't doing it myself, not sure where it was left off. I don't remember the last date it fired up but when it did, it only started by bypassing the fuel pump. The car has been sitting for a very long time now in an asphalt driveway on 4 flats. I have a turbocoupe rear-end along with it that was never put in and I believe I have all new brakes for that rear end, still in boxes.
I don't have the time or knowledge to finish it myself and although I would love to have it finished, my funds would be better used elsewhere. The car followed around the mechanic from shop to shop but he never finished it and he went through many personal issues so left the area and we havent been in contact for years. My brother will be building a house on the land where it currently is stored so it needs to go. The car is located in Boston, MA.
Below is a picture of it in its glory and some pictures from last weekend. She could definitely use a good cleaning and some love but overall not bad for as long as she's been sitting. The house build is starting quicker than expected so she needs to go one way or another within the next week or so and I'd rather see her go to someone who will finish the build and enjoy it.
I didn't know this site was still going and couldn't remember my credentials. Unfortunately it needs to go very soon and I may end up calling Kars for Kids.
Hi guys, it's been a long time since I've been on this board. I still have the 88 Cougar with the 95 Supercoupe engine but it's been sitting/not running for quite sometime now. I purchased all of the wiring and the computer for the 95 SC but the wiring was never completed. The cougar is sitting at my parents house and they want it gone. I have many other vehicles at this point and don't have room for it at my house in its current state. I was planning on trying to find someone to finish the wiring for me so that I could get it running again but also trying to weigh my other options. I started this thread to guage interest of board members interested in purchasing it? Or maybe offering up your services to rewire it (could work out a deal).
Sounds good. I'll make the trip, its only about a half hour from here. What's your shop(name, address). I work a full time job in Framingham and I also work at Fenway so this weekend would be a good time for me to make the trip. What are your hours? Would you be able to meet me this weekend?
Does anybody have any backing plates for a tc rear in good condition? Or does anyone know where I can buy some new ones? I'm going to be putting the tc rear in my cougar soon and my backing plates are pretty much destroyed .
I think I remember reading about someone on tccoa putting the supercharger on the stock block and reducing the amount of boost so he would not destroy the engine. I don't think it should be done but hey go for it if you want just don't be surprised if you destory your engine. Also I would reccommend changing that tranny cuz mine didn't last too long and was replaced with a rebuilt lsc tranny with shift kit. Despite mine not being a 5 speed, it's still one hell of a car to drive. CougarSE I had just seen your post the other day over at sccoa, I didn't even no you were attempting to do it. How long you been on the project? You think you'll have it done this summer?
Seems like you got a pretty good price there. So is your insurance going to go up after you submit the paper work? If so how much more? I was thinking about getting mine appraised sometime soon but I'm going to have to check with my insurance company to make sure they will still cover a modified car.
I was thinkin about getting one also but do you think I can reroute it to feed my intercooler or do you think that it would be easier, better and cheaper to just buy an intercooler fan or two?
