$200 worth of Cougar July 14, 2009, 06:06:58 PM I just bought this car for $200. The kid I bought it off of said it had been sitting in a barn for 15 years. It only has 90,000 miles on it so I imagine it was parked. It has the world's ugliest paint job at the moment. ..patchy, thin and orange-peeled.The interior is in much better shape than the outside. Some fading on the front seats but the rear is perfect.The engine runs purrrfectly. This car loves to go. It's a 2.3 litre. Quote Selected

$200 worth of Cougar Reply #5 – July 14, 2009, 10:38:31 PM Except for some rust on the doors, I haven't seen any on the body at all really. I'm no mechanic, though. Everything seems really sound. Although I don't really know what a frame rail is, I'm assuming it's under the car. My boyfriend was under there a couple of days ago to change the oil and I didn't hear him say "wow, what an ugly frame rail" so I guess that's good....the car was originally red...thus is the extent of my technical expertise...I can be taught, though. :DI took a picture of the motor for you but the picture makes it look rusty and it's not really.
