Really sad. Looks to be well taken care of until the accident. I have always liked the GST kits also.

They did the Taurus heater controls too, which leads me to believe the previous owner wasn't a 'nobody'. It looks like the sper doesn't realize it's not original.

edit, just saw the odometer says 79k, man that's a shame....

I Googled the car and it was sold at auction like you see it.

Poor thing could have saved.

is the Taurus conversion done from a standard HVAC or a climate control ?

Man that looks like *MAYHEM*'s car.  He was an Ohio guy before moving down under too.  I really think his car had a red interior too but it had the same kit and spoiler.

I posted this Cougar and a 83 TBird on the 'LEADS' section.

Both cars could/should have been saved. 

I contacted the seller to see what parts are left and told him I was interested in under hood parts.  He replied all that is left is what is listed on eBay.  :mad:

If you check the prices on the parts that he has listed, it's obvious he cherry picks the parts and tries to make all the money on a few items.  His business so up to him but sure would be nice to find some of these cars before they hit the crusher.
