1988 cougar florida

If it really did "look and drive great", would be a smokin' deal.

If it wasn't ever too close to the coast its whole life, it's probably in shockingly rust-free shape. I will say I have personally witnessed some rather beat-up looking cars claimed to be from Florida (maybe because it's a common travel route, there's a good amount of FL cars on Craigslist around here from time to time) and the one '85 Chevy pickup had a 100% smooth black frame that was just jaw-dropping. Another Blazer was rough around the edges but again, they showed a picture that revealed the undercarriage and it wasn't disappointing.
