I thought it just sold on ebay?

It says it sold, so did the buyer get cold feet??

If it didn't sell and you can come up with a title, I'll drive it to the buyers House for gas money. I seriously considered this car as well, but I already have 2 86's and an 88.

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.

I’m so baffled by this situation… In the original post, it says that it runs. In the eBay listing it says 'With a little work this car will run and drive, but needs to be restored.'

@foxcougarconvertible, did it sell? Does it run? You said previously on page one of this post, ‘The entire car hobby is in serious trouble if this is what people are willing to pay for such a rare car.’ But then a few posts later you’re saying, ‘Seeing that it's not worth anything, it's going to get parted out and sent to the crusher.’ I guess the car hobby is in serious trouble if you can’t let it go to a (hopefully) good home where it will be restored & cared for and would choose to part it out and let it go to the crusher… sad indeed.

The Craigslist ad is 12 days old, which means it was posted before the supposed sale on Ebay.

He said it sold on Ebay on March 26th, unless it was relisted after that.

If it looks like shiznit, and smells like shiznit, good odds are that it's not special dark chocolate....
