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.

Wonder what's going on with the bottom of the driver door.  Should be worth $600 in parts from what I see..

Which will probably leak right out of the broken fuel line :mullet:.

My '88 had a "broken fuel line."  Bt the time I replaced the fuel tank, sensor, fuel pump, and um yeah, the fuel lines..  It only cost my $800 or so...

Apparently fixing a fuel leak and creating a power steering leak adds $2900 to the asking price:

I have a 86 cougar with 39000 miles on it garage kept. It has a small leak from the steering pump hose. Just needs a new hose clamp, simple fix. Very clean car looking to get rid of asap.

I doubt the fuel leak was fixed if a single hose clamp is stopping him from fixing the power steering.
