Really sad. Looks to be well taken care of until the accident. I have always liked the GST kits also.

They did the Taurus heater controls too, which leads me to believe the previous owner wasn't a 'nobody'. It looks like the sper doesn't realize it's not original.

I Googled the car and it was sold at auction like you see it.

Poor thing could have saved.

is the Taurus conversion done from a standard HVAC or a climate control ?

Man that looks like *MAYHEM*'s car. He was an Ohio guy before moving down under too. I really think his car had a red interior too but it had the same kit and spoiler.

I posted this Cougar and a 83 TBird on the 'LEADS' section.

Both cars could/should have been saved.

I contacted the seller to see what parts are left and told him I was interested in under hood parts. He replied all that is left is what is listed on eBay.

If you check the prices on the parts that he has listed, it's obvious he cherry picks the parts and tries to make all the money on a few items. His business so up to him but sure would be nice to find some of these cars before they hit the crusher.
