T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars FOR SALE / 85 xr7 for sale
Looks like it's been sitting for some time... what does the back look like?  are the doors and all the ground effects intact and clean?  The "over the border" scares me a little but i'm not frightened yet :)

T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars FOR SALE / 84 cougar for sale or parts and my gold rims too
Quote from: Watchdevil;311004
Easily restorable condition... look at those seats! No rips or tears.. If the plastic dash shell is not peanut brittle that would be a big plus for this year car.


the dash is solid, just ugly, and the headliner fabric is gone, but i cleaned the shell of the glue  and put it back in.....  the seats don't even have stains.... the carpet is pretty good, the knee panel, glove box and center console lid were swapped so they're ugly too....

going to leave it up til friday as a solid car and then start to part it over the weekend :(

T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars FOR SALE / 84 cougar for sale or parts and my gold rims too
need to make room in the driveway and i have too many cars.... i need to get rid of the 84 cougar and i've bought a little time from the wife to hopefully see it doesn't meet the crusher.....  it's the 84 cougar i bought a few years ago, 6 cyl, charcoal interior, base model.....  i'd like to sell the whole thing and be done with it, but i'm not opposed to selling it for parts if it's going to end up sped....  it has the 3 speed auto in it, which shifts good and the base rear end....  i parked it because it was starting to sputter and i found that the injector was sometimes "spitting air" causing the intermittent stumble....  so, my other cougar needed front struts and bushings so this car became permanently parked....  since it had much better tread than my other cougar (i was using the 84 as a daily driver), i swapped the factory steels with the gold enkei apache iv's from my other car... THEY ARE INCLUDED WITH THE CAR.... 

the car is pretty solid, surface rust underneath and on most components and it's only penetrating on the passenger door.... otherwise it's pretty solid.....  it had a turbo coupe hood and really nice taillights...  the door panels are there and are in great condition....  the seats are really nice too and the silver applique dash pieces are spot on.....  the only window that works is the driver side, both power lock actuators were removed for my other car (that's why the panels are off) as well as the radio missing (the bezel is still there, but it's for a buttstuffog, not digital radio).... it has a pioneer cd changer in it too.....  with a little help, this car can become a daily driver again.....

it DOES run, but needs to be towed because of the py tread on the tires and the fact the front strut bushings are shot and it's not aligned.... 

the first $300 takes the car and it really needs to be gone SOON, so if you want the whole thing ACT NOW!!!  if i can't get a sale for the whole car done by the 21st, i'll start stripping it and sell it for parts...  if it's not out of the driveway by the end of the month, the wife says she'll call the junkyard herself and get it gone..... i guess that's what i get for titling it in HER name :).....  but i'll still keep her anyway.....

vehicle is located in st augustine, florida which is 40 miles south of jacksonville on i-95

thanks :)

had the same problem with my 84 3.8...... it was the external alternator voltage regulator (it's a box under the starter solenoid)... it's like $17 at advance or auto zone.

people will replace the alt and give up... back then the regulator was seperate

LEADS on T-Bird/Cougar Stuff For Sale / 86 convertable (aka, my dream car) on ebay
Quote from: jcassity;285327
I dont know why, i just cant get into the verts on these cars.

i think what makes the "aero" cougar stand out is the rear side windows, their odd backwards shape, as compared to other car windows, and the straight up and down back window....  all the styling, in my opinion, starts there.....  take that away, and it's just another mid 80's "box" car...

we used to live in detroit and the dream cruise was a ZOO!!!!  in a good way :)  i don't know what it's like now, but 4 years ago, it was probably the best car cruise we've ever been to..... there were cars from EVERY era there....  and it was usually packed.....  we made a day of it, sat at a friends business.... and spent the day cooking out and watching all the cars go by... we never drove in it, but it was usually bumper to bumper....

if you're interested in all types of classic cars and have the time and money, you won't be disappointed :)

Bring a helmet, battery is tied down, all lug nuts in place, tires are not bald with wires hanging out, seat belts operable, no longer than 12" consecutive rubber fuel line....


what's up with the fuel line?  you can take your car to the track if you have the stock lines right?
