So it "runs well", but doesn't drive... Sounds like a Portland native. :D

Needs a paint job after hitting a deer, yet the pics show a flawless car unless i just can't see the damage.

If it was local, id talk the guy down $100, pull the driveshaft and tow it home.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

You can see a reflection of the passenger side mirror in the paint. Guy needs to update pics.
