BTW -- In Jan was out in the country riding in the F-150(saw first Robins, no doubt froze their ass off for next six weeks) with nine year old grandson & said, "lets see if those people still have your Explorer"(was his dad's)... I'd remembered address as it was a even number(4500)... Sure enough it was setting in driveway, they'd had it almost two years at that point...

Told you we had some good crack up here. $11,500 for a 1984 V6 Cougar. It looks like a nice car (click the link to see bigger pics), but is priced at quadruple what he'd ever have a chance of getting for it:

Reminds me of a few years ago when I listed that maroon '89 Cougar on CL for my buddy Steve. It was a parts car, described and priced as such.

Some woman called and asked if it was fit to drive as her whelp had just gotten released from the state pen and needed to get mobile to find a job. Also asked if I'd take payments. C'mon...a 500 dollar car? Jesus christ, lol.

That was my last CL sales post...I honestly can't remember the last time I looked on CL for something, other than the links put up here or on Corral..you know...the "look at this shiznit on CL!" type of posts. :D

I did find a really nice Mark VII quite awhile back, talked to the guy on the phone 2 or 3 times, was dickering around, trying to get a day off from work so I could go check it out and it sold. Oh well, Ford made more than one.

While there are a few idiots on the local CL, most items are generally reasonable, for one idiot now and then CL is defiantly worthwhile in this area...

I needed a cheap computer recently, found a all but new HP 110-210 with W 8.1, guy said it had been used three times and he then bought a notebook so wasn't going to use it... Lists for $299 but him being in Navy no doubt got a better price, I paid $125...

I think it depends on where you live. I live in a metro area with over 6 million people. Plenty o idiots on Craigslist here.

I only see four going to the passenger side, and one of 'em goes to the coil. Hard to make out though... Not that a V8 would make it worth any more...

Looks like a 3.8 to me..count the wires on the dist cap.

Couldn't make it worth any less, I know if I look at any thing Ford sold with a 3.8 I run away as fast as possible(which at 6.5 decades isn't as fast as it used to be, still I wouldn't touch one)

For the plug wires, including coil wire I count nine, def a 5.0...

Doesn't the disty set on a angle on the 3.8??? One in pict is straight up...

Yep. That's a 5.0 car.

You know you may be able to get it for less. Being how hard it is to find a 4-eye up by you it might be worth a little more. Not that much but more than usual.
