1988 4spd man. 289 Ci Cougar

September 17, 2005, 04:57:30 AM

Up for sale is what has been my baby for the past 4 years, my 88 Cougar LS, it is located in Indianapolis, IN. I need to sell this car to get a tow rig for my jeep that I am building. I would also be interested in a possible trade for a truck depending on what it is. Right now I am looking at getting a military CUCV.

$3000 obo or trade for diesel truck

This car started out as an LS (3.8L AOD) with 28K miles on it when I bought it 4 years ago. Since then I have done the following modifications:

Drivetrain
Rebuilt 289ci v-8 (casting is from a 1965 galaxie)
Holley 600 cfm, vaccum secondaries
Edelbrock Performer 289 intake
4 spd manual
Heddman 3/4 Length headers
2 1/4" exhaust back w/ dynomax sidepipes and h-pipe
MSD 6ALN ignition
TC twin fans for cooling
Flexalite Electronic Thermostat
Ford Racing 2300C springs up front, 98GT springs in rear
TC rear end, posi, 3.73's, disk

Audio:
Alpine Deck
Infinity Reference 3.5" in dash
Infinity Reference 3 way 6x9's in rear deck
JBL 6.5" in doors
2 Infinity Reference 12" woofers in trunk in custom box
1 mtx and 2 bazooka amps

Exterior/Apperance:
Body does have some rust, but not very much at all for an 88 in Indiana, the front drivers side quarter pannel needs to be repainted (there was some body work done to the car before i purchased it and the clear coat didnt stick well). Also, the hood is black and the rest of the car is maroon, although it doesn't look that bad, I like it.

TC hood
TC gauges
TC wheels
20% window tint

I also have a set of gt40-p heads that I need to get rid of as well (make an offer)

I am sure there is more that I have done that isnt listed right now. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me at dmbooth@purdue.edu

NOTE: These pictures are pretty old, I am up at school right now and havent had time to get new ones. There are a few discrepencies between the pictures and now. The hood scooop inserts are now in, the wiring is cleaned up in the engine compartment, the Ford Racing front springs are in, also a proportioning valve is now in place (for the TC rear), the stupid ricer lights are gone from the front and the interior is all put back together, and there is a new B&M hammer shift handle on it.

hmm how economical would it be to ship gt-40 heads? are those the really heavy cast iron ones that make pretty good power?

I had them shipped to me for not too much, but that was in state. I can ship them no problem, where do you live?

I went on ups's website, given that they are about 40 lbs a piece it would cost around 60 bucks to ship. PM me an offer if you're still interested
